Charleroi Constructions – other models: Belgian EU class O4 semi-trailers with gross weights of 27,000 to 39,000 kg, the type number giving the weight class in tonnes

This page gathers the semi-trailers of Charleroi Constructions from Belgium the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations RSS 27, SJ-3-39 and SS/2/32P each give a range and a number matching the gross weight in tonnes – 27, 32 and 39 t; the letters ahead of the number mark the body variant within the maker's programme.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 5,480 to 8,690 kg, gross weights from 27,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 10,160 to 12,700 mm and widths from 2,520 to 2,570 mm.

Semi-trailers of this weight class have to carry air brakes; the tow vehicle required is a tractor unit with licence category CE. The rear underrun guard is a legal requirement on this vehicle class and protects following cars from sliding underneath the semi-trailer.

Semi-trailers of this weight class run in Belgian and Western European building-material and heavy-goods transport, where they operate behind tractor units up to the permitted gross train weight; the spread of unladen weights from 5.5 to 8.7 t reflects differently reinforced frames and bodies within the same load class.

On used semi-trailers, frame and axle condition, the braking system, rust on the chassis rails and body, the fifth-wheel coupling and underrun guard, and the condition of tyres and rims count; parts run through Charleroi Constructions and the Belgian and French trailer suppliers.

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.
