Bulthuis TSAA: the Dutch heavy-duty semi-trailer range from 4,400 to 24,600 kg unladen weight, 28,000 to 48,000 kg gross weight, lengths from 9,850 to 13,950 mm, for low-loader and ballast-trailer combinations
Bulthuis is a Dutch manufacturer of heavy-duty trailers for construction, crane and industrial transport. The TSAA range comprises multi-axle semi-trailers whose type numbers from TSAA 06 to TSAA 61 distinguish the individual versions within the range; the numbering tends to rise with axle count and carrying capacity. Such trailers are used as ballast units behind mobile cranes or as part of multi-section low-loader combinations.

The register lists here 30 versions with unladen weights from 4,400 to 24,600 kg and gross weights from 28,000 to 48,000 kg. Lengths, where recorded, range from 9,850 to 13,950 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
The TSAA range is used in European heavy-haulage and crane traffic, where as a ballast trailer behind a mobile crane it carries extra counterweight to the site, or as an axle unit supplements multi-section low-loader combinations for construction machinery and large components. Bulthuis competes in this segment with other Dutch and German heavy-trailer builders.
When buying used, on these heavy trailers condition and wear of the axle assembly, corrosion on the frame and load-bearing members, function of the steering axles and hydraulic height adjustment, and condition of the braking system and fifth wheel all matter in particular. Spare parts for axles, hydraulics and brakes are available through the European heavy-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.
