Burg BPDO – the collective page of heavy semi-trailers outside the named ranges, gross weights from 10,000 to 45,000 kg, lengths from 7,470 to 14,050 mm, widths from 2,390 to 2,600 mm

This page gathers the Burg trailers of the BPDO range designation that the register could not assign to a named individual range. The two numbers after the BPDO code are followed by one or more letters such as LS, LST, AT, DL or Z, distinguishing equipment or body variants; the model list shows the same types often both as BPDO and, with full stops, as B.P.D.O.

The register lists here 51 versions with unladen weights from 1,740 to 23,260 kg and gross weights from 10,000 to 45,000 kg. Lengths lie between 7,470 and 14,050 mm, widths between 2,390 and 2,600 mm.

With gross weights up to 45 tonnes and lengths up to 14 metres, these are semi-trailers for heavy haulage that, paired with a tractor unit, carry building materials, machinery or general cargo over long distances. The consistent number system behind the range code points to a finely differentiated type programme carried on over years, and the width, almost invariably within 2,390 to 2,600 mm, matches the standard width for semi-trailers in road traffic.

On a used semi-trailer of this size, the condition of frame and kingpin, corrosion on cross members and landing legs, the condition of axles, brakes and air suspension, and the function of the lighting system and the connections to the tractor unit all matter. Service history and tyre condition deserve particular attention given the high payload.

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.
