Burgers BAO – heavy trailer range: 7 versions, unladen weight from 10,630 to 16,460 kg, gross weight from 33,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths of around 13.8 to 14 metres
Burgers builds a range of heavy commercial trailers under the designation BAO, listed on this page. The model names always combine the number 15 with a second number – 15, 18 or 27 – plus a letter code such as GZZXX, GP or GZXX, which distinguishes individual versions within the range; the code appears in some cases with, in others without a space after the type designation.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 10,630 to 16,460 kg at a gross weight of 33,000 to 42,000 kg. Lengths range from 13,800 to 14,030 mm, and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
With almost uniform lengths of around 14 metres and gross weights up to 42 tonnes, the BAO range forms a tight range of long multi-axle trailers for European long-haul transport, used behind tractor units or as trailers in a truck train for general and groupage cargo. The spread of unladen weights from just over 10 to over 16 tonnes points to differently heavy bodies within the same base length.
When buying a used trailer of this range, check the frame and chassis rails for corrosion and cracking along their full length, the condition of the multi-axle units and braking system, the operation of the suspension, and the tightness of the tarpaulin or body. Wear parts for axles and brakes are available through the general commercial-vehicle parts trade, and on long frames it is also worth assessing the torsional stiffness.

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.
