Bulthuis TAWA – Dutch trailers with a gross weight rating of 41,000 to 47,000 kg: five versions, 12,260 to 14,050 mm length, a constant 2,550 mm width
Bulthuis of the Netherlands carries the TAWA range in the register, heavy trailers whose versions TAWA 01 to TAWA 09 differ in details such as axle count or frame length. With gross weight ratings of 41,000 to 47,000 kg and lengths over 14 m, the models fall into the heavy class-O4 trailers for long loads and need a towing vehicle rated accordingly.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 7,900 to 9,140 kg and gross weight ratings from 41,000 to 47,000 kg. Lengths range from 12,260 to 14,050 mm, the width is a constant 2,550 mm.
At gross weights up to 47 tonnes and lengths up to 14 m, the TAWA range counts among the long heavy-haulage trailers used in European road transport to carry long material, building supplies and industrial goods behind heavy tractor units or as a drawbar trailer in a combination. The narrow unladen-weight span from 7.9 to 9.14 tonnes against a much wider gross-weight span points to a consistent frame design paired with differing axle specifications.
On a used example, check the frame and chassis rails for cracks and deformation, the axle units and air suspension, the brake system with its connections, and the drawbar eye and tow bar. On the long versions, also check the torsional stiffness of the frame, and on long-material loads the condition of the centre rollers or support trestles; parts for axles and brake components come from the 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.
