The register lists here 34 versions with unladen weights from 2,830 to 18,620 kg and gross weights from 6,000 to 36,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,030 to 14,940 mm, widths from 2,370 to 2,780 mm.

With gross weights from 6 to 36 tonnes, the BPDA range spans from EU trailer category O3 to category O4; air brakes are required throughout, since an overrun brake is not permitted at all above roughly 3.5 tonnes. Depending on the weight class, the tow vehicle would be a lorry with licence category C1E or a tractor unit with licence category CE.

With a weight span of 6 to 36 tonnes, the BPDA range covers medium-heavy tandem-axle trailers as well as multi-axle heavy trailers for construction machinery, building materials and heavy freight. Such trailers are used mainly by hauliers, construction firms and heavy-equipment rental companies that switch loads according to the job, often within the same working week.

When buying used, value hinges on the condition of the frame and side members after years of heavy-duty service, the function of the air suspension and brake system, wear on axles and ramps, and visible corrosion on load-bearing welds. Spares for axles, suspension and brakes are available through the commercial-vehicle 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.
