The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 6,500 to 8,210 kg and gross weight ratings from 39,000 to 43,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,000 to 13,900 mm, the width is a constant 2,550 mm.
Tipping semi-trailers of this weight class carry bulk goods such as gravel, sand, grain or recycled material and are widely used across Poland and Central and Eastern Europe in construction and agriculture; the constant 2,550 mm width matches the maximum EU dimension permitted for ordinary road use without a special permit.
On a used example, check the tipping body for wear, dents and corrosion, the condition of the tipping cylinders and hydraulic lines, the axle units and air suspension, the brake system with its connections, and the kingpin and wear plates of the mounting surface. On heavily used examples, also check the frame around the tipping axle for cracks; wear parts come from the Polish and Central European commercial-vehicle parts trade.

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.
