Bruns BAS – heavy-duty trailers from 18 to 30 t gross weight: type numbers scaled to weight class, LS, LT and L5 versions, roughly 9.5 to 10.2 m long
Bruns' BAS series groups heavy-duty trailers whose type number clearly states the gross weight in tonnes: BAS 18/8/LS sits at 18 t, the 24/12 variants at 24 t, and BAS 30 12 LT marks the 30-tonne version in the register. The letter suffixes LS, LT and L5 distinguish chassis and brake variants of the same base type.

The register lists 8 versions here with unladen weights from 3,740 to 5,440 kg and gross weights from 18,000 to 30,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,500 to 10,170 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights up to 30 tonnes at a comparatively low unladen weight, the BAS trailers are designed for maximum payload and are found in building-material, bulk-goods and construction-site traffic, where multi-axle trailers run behind tractor units or lorries.
When buying used, check the axle assemblies and their bearings, the brake system with its connecting lines, the frame and main beams for cracks, and the drawbar and its suspension. On the LT and L5 versions, also check the load-bed decking and corrosion at the mounting points; axle and brake spares are available through the independent commercial-vehicle parts trade. On tandem and tridem axle groups, also check for even tyre wear as an indicator of correct axle alignment. Checking the wheel hubs for play and the mudguard mounts for cracked welds rounds out a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

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.
