Vogelzang trailers over 10 t (Class O4) – the Dutch tipper and bulk-material semi-trailer builder: 395 versions, gross weights up to 54 t
Class O4 groups, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight over 10 tonnes. Vogelzang is a Dutch maker building chiefly tipping and bulk-material semi-trailers for construction and agricultural haulage; the register data alone does not reliably establish the company's location or founding year. The register's type codes (including the V0 and V01-STG ranges), with the abbreviations STG, SD and HF, presumably point to different tipping systems or sideboard versions, though their meaning is not documented in detail.

The register lists 395 versions with unladen weights of 2,240 to 38,330 kg and permissible gross weights of 10,600 to 54,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 302 of the 395 models, ranging from 1,645 to 18,300 mm, and width for all 395 from 260 to 2,750 mm.
Tipping and bulk-material semi-trailers of this size are common in earth, gravel and recycling haulage, where Vogelzang competes with specialist tipper builders such as Meiller semi-trailers or Fliegl.
On used tipping semi-trailers, what counts especially is the condition of the tipping cylinder and hydraulic system, the tightness and wear of the body, the condition of the sideboards and tailgate, the axles (BPW/SAF) and EBS braking system, air suspension and frame corrosion at the heavily loaded tipping-axle points, and an unbroken inspection history.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
