This page gathers Buca's BCA 2 range. It spans the BCA 2 18 and its 18 AC variant, the BCA 2 20 CC and 20 HD, up to the BCA 3 27, with payload rising across the range. The individual versions differ mainly in body height and permitted payload, visible in the rising model numbers from the BCA 2 18 to the BCA 3 27.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 3,310 to 5,920 kg at a gross weight of 18,000 to 27,000 kg, lengths from 8,830 to 9,930 mm and widths from 2,420 to 2,560 mm. With a gross weight consistently above 10 t, the whole range falls into vehicle class O4.
Trailers in this weight class are used behind trucks as centre-axle or tandem trailers for bulk goods, building materials or general cargo, supplementing the tractor unit in swap-body operation. The 18 to 27 t gross weight span covers both lighter and heavier duty profiles, from site deliveries to regular long-haul work. Centre-axle trailers offer better manoeuvrability than classic drawbar trailers with two axle groups thanks to the axle's central position, which pays off especially in urban delivery traffic.
Buying used at this class, the points that matter are the condition of the chassis, axles and drawbar, the function of the braking system, wear on the deck or sides, and corrosion on load-bearing parts. The axle load should be checked against the registration document before purchase, along with tyre condition and the validity of the periodic roadworthiness test.

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.
