Bulthuis AI – Dutch range of heavy tipping and transport trailers, 12 to 30 tonnes gross weight, unladen weight 2,690 to 11,170 kg, lengths up to 11.5 m
Bulthuis, a Dutch maker of agricultural and commercial trailers from Friesland, runs its heavy tipping and transport trailers in the AI range. The type designation combines the code AI with the tonnage class and letter suffixes for axle count and equipment, for example AI 20 for the 20-tonne class or AI 28 for the 28-tonne class; suffixes such as BS, E, F, L, ST and STK mark versions with different tyres, unloading method and body height.

The register lists here 26 versions with unladen weights from 2,690 to 11,170 kg and gross weights from 12,000 to 30,000 kg, at lengths from 8,410 to 11,500 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,600 mm.
The AI range thus sits in class O4 of heavy trailers over 10 tonnes and serves above all agricultural and municipal haulage of bulk material, soil and harvest behind powerful tractors and lorries. The range is offered as a twin-axle as well as a tandem and triple-axle unit, covering a broad payload spectrum from the mid-size to the large operation.
On a used example, the condition and tightness of the tipping body, the function of the tipping hydraulics, rust on the chassis and axles, the braking system and tyres, and, on tandem and triple-axle versions, the condition of the axle steering and the loading ramps count; spare parts run through the Bulthuis dealer network and the open trailer 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.
