Burg BPO-12-20 – trailer range with a uniform gross weight of 32,000 kg: 7 versions, unladen weight from 3,000 to 10,940 kg, lengths from 6.85 to almost 14 metres
Burg builds a range of commercial trailers under the base designation BPO-12-20, brought together on this page. Alongside the base form are variants with appended letter codes such as GCSXX BX, ORXXX, SRNXX, CCXAX and TRNXX, which distinguish individual versions of the range within the model name; the varying notation with and without a hyphen between BPO and 12-20 is also notable.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 3,000 to 10,940 kg at a gross weight of a constant 32,000 kg. Lengths range from 6,850 to 13,990 mm, and widths from 2,450 to 2,600 mm.
The uniform gross weight of 32 tonnes across widely differing lengths points to a range spanning short single-axle or module versions through to long multi-axle combinations, as used in European freight transport for different types of cargo.
When buying a used trailer of this range, check the frame and axle suspension for corrosion and wear, the operation of the braking system, the condition of the tyres, and on the longer versions also the torsional stiffness of the frame and the condition of the trailer coupling. Wear parts are available through the general commercial-vehicle parts trade, brand-specific components only to a limited extent. On the shorter modules, also check the condition of the coupling eye and coupling plate, and on the longer combinations the hinges and side-panel locks.

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.
