Burg trailers over 10 t (Class O4) – the Dutch tank and silo semi-trailer builder in the EU heavy-haulage class: 214 versions with B.P.A./B.P.O. type codes, unladen weights 2,380 to 26,360 kg, gross weights up to 49 t
Class O4 groups together, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight over 10 tonnes. Burg is a Dutch manufacturer best known for tank and silo semi-trailers; the register also lists type codes such as A-2-20, A-3-27 or B.P.O., pointing to tipper and flatbed bodies, alongside the B.P.A. series, Burg's own designation for part of its tank-trailer programme. The codes visibly follow a pattern of axle count and two dimensions, though Burg does not disclose the exact reading.

The register lists 214 versions with unladen weights from 2,380 to 26,360 kg and permissible gross weights from 11,300 to 49,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 132 of the 214 vehicles and range from 1,202 to 14,100 mm, width for all 214 versions from 2,190 to 3,000 mm.
With its focus on tank and silo trailers, Burg serves a segment where, alongside the large European trailer builders, specialised manufacturers with sheet-metal and welding expertise are in demand. As class O4 vehicles with a permissible gross weight above 10 tonnes, they need a category CE licence to tow, and the braking system must be built as air or hydraulic brakes, as required for heavy trailers in this weight class.
For a used tank or silo trailer, what matters is the tightness of the vessel, manhole covers and outlet fittings, the corrosion condition of the frame and vessel supports, the axles and EBS braking system, and the air suspension. For tipper and flatbed variants, hydraulic cylinders, sideboards and a complete inspection history also count, since parts for older Burg bodies are usually only available through the manufacturer itself.

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.
