The TLÜ 32-55 has a gross weight of 40,000 kg against an unladen weight of 9,100 kg, giving a payload of 30,900 kg. At a length of 11,700 mm and a width of 2,500 mm, it is a long heavy-duty chassis, built for hauling indivisible, heavy loads.
With a gross weight of 40,000 kg, the TLÜ 32-55 falls into EU category O4, where an air brake system is standard. Vehicles of this weight and length class are used in heavy haulage, for instance construction machinery, machine parts or prefabricated building elements, and depending on actual load and dimensions often need a special road permit. The low loading height of such a low-loader chassis allows tall goods to be carried within the permitted overall height.
On a used heavy trailer of this class, what counts is the condition of the air brake system along with its lines, brake cylinders and compressor, rust on the frame and chassis rails, the state of the load bed and any ramps, and the function of the lighting over the full length of the vehicle. After more than three decades in service, the frame is also worth checking closely for cracks, deep-seated corrosion and earlier repair welds.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.

- 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.
