Burg BPO – tank and silo semi-trailers from the Dutch maker Burg: 393 versions for bulk materials and liquids, gross weights up to 49 t
Unlike the other O4 collector pages, this is a genuine model-range page: Burg is a Dutch maker of tank and silo semi-trailers for powdered and liquid bulk goods (cement, plastic pellets, feed and food); BPO is the register's continuous type-range designation. The maker does not publish what the letters BPO code in detail, and it is not interpreted here – in the register the abbreviation consistently appears with further digit and letter suffixes (such as "12-27", "10-16 K", "GRNXX"). As semi-trailers with a kingpin, these vehicles fall into class O4 for trailers above 10 tonnes, which need a category CE licence to tow.

The register lists 393 versions with unladen weights of 2,710 to 36,790 kg and permissible gross weights of 7,500 to 49,000 kg. Lengths range from 1,149 to 14,100 mm, and width for all 393 from 300 to 2,750 mm.
Tank and silo semi-trailers for bulk goods form a specialised market segment alongside the general semi-trailer business; competitors here include makers such as Feldbinder, Spitzer and Magyar, which offer different tank and discharge technology depending on the cargo (cement, plastic pellets, feed).
On used tank and silo semi-trailers, what counts especially is the tightness and inspection certificates of the tank (internal coating, pressure test), the condition of the discharge and compressor system, the axles (BPW/SAF) and EBS braking system, air suspension, frame corrosion at the heavily loaded tank mounting points, and an unbroken inspection history including cargo-specific tank tests.

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.
