Bulthuis TAAA – Dutch low-loader range from 2.9 to 6.5 t unladen weight at 30 to 40 t gross weight, up to 13.9 m long, widths 2.45 to 2.57 m
This page gathers Bulthuis's TAAA range. It covers the TAAA 01, 04, 05, 06 and 08 versions and spans the mid to heavy segment within the maker's Dutch low-loader line-up. Extendable low-loaders consist of a fixed front section and a sliding frame section that is locked in different positions with pins.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 2,920 to 6,460 kg at a gross weight of 30,000 to 40,000 kg, lengths from 8,400 to 13,900 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,570 mm. With a gross weight consistently above 10 t, the whole range falls into vehicle class O4.
The wide length span from 8.4 to 13.9 m shows that the TAAA range includes both compact and extendable versions for long, indivisible loads. Bulthuis aims the range at haulage firms carrying construction machinery and special vehicles; the extendable models let the same trailer carry both short and long loads.
Buying used at this class, the points that matter are the condition of the ramps, the function of the extension mechanism on the longer versions, wear on the axles and braking system, and cracks in the chassis. The locking of the extension rail in its end positions and the validity of the periodic roadworthiness test should also be checked; spare parts run through the Bulthuis dealer network. It is also worth checking the seals and guide rails of the sliding frame for play.

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.
