Berdex – other models: Polish low-loader and heavy-haulage semi-trailers with OS/OL/OV codes, gross weights from 3,500 to 80,000 kg, lengths up to around 14.2 m

Berdex is a Polish manufacturer of low-loader and heavy-haulage semi-trailers; this collective page covers models outside the named series. The model designations consistently combine two- to three-letter codes such as OS, OL, OV and AV with two-digit number pairs, such as OS 12.27. The range spans from simpler leaf-spring-axle trailers to multi-axle low-loaders with hydraulic height adjustment for construction machinery and abnormal-load transport.

The register lists 62 versions with gross weights from 3,500 to 80,000 kg. Where recorded, lengths run from 1,612 to 14,170 mm and widths from 1,830 to 2,600 mm. The range thus spans smaller trailers up to heavy low-loaders for construction machinery and abnormal loads.

Semi-trailers and low-loaders of this size carry construction machinery, containers or industrial plant, and are a fixture of heavy haulage across central and eastern Europe. Berdex's broad model range shows how widely customer requirements vary in axle count, payload and deck height.

When buying used, check the frame and main beams for cracks and corrosion, particularly at the axle mounting points and around the kingpin. The ramp or drop-deck hydraulics, brake system and tyre tread should be inspected, along with the capacity plate. Spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are supplied by Polish and central European commercial-vehicle parts dealers.

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.
