The PIAU 18 has a gross weight of 18,000 kg against an unladen weight of 4,000 kg, giving a payload of 14,000 kg. At a length of 9,030 mm, an axle spacing of 6,930 mm and a width of 2,510 mm, it stands on two axles, a light chassis relative to its high payload, as is typical for platform or tipping trailers.
With a gross weight of 18,000 kg, the PIAU 18 falls into EU category O4, where an air brake system is standard. With a payload of 14,000 kg on two axles and a length of over nine metres, its main use lies in moving bulk goods, building materials or machines in commercial haulage.
On a used trailer of this size, what counts is the condition of the air brake system along with its lines and brake cylinders, rust on the frame and chassis rails, the state of the load bed or side boards, and the function of the tipping cylinders and hydraulics if the trailer is built as a tipper, plus the condition of the pintle hitch and its bearing. On two axles spread over more than six metres, it is also worth checking the frame for twisting after heavy loading and the state of side-board hinges and latches.

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.
