Contar SD – trailer range from 4.8 to 14.5 t unladen weight at 12 to 39 t gross weight, widths 2.5 to 2.6 m, versions SD 0606 to SD 1227
This page gathers Contar's SD range. It spans the SD 0606 LD, the SD 0816 LD, 1010 LDS and 1016 D, up to the SD 1224 LDS and SD 1227 LDS, with payload rising markedly across the range. The range covers a wide span of payloads, from compact trailers for medium-heavy loads to versions for very heavy, indivisible cargo.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 4,760 to 14,460 kg at a gross weight of 12,000 to 39,000 kg, a length of around 8,600 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm. With a gross weight consistently above 10 t, the whole range falls into vehicle class O4.
The 12 to 39 t gross weight span covers both medium-heavy and heavy haulage tasks, such as carrying construction machinery, bulk goods or general cargo behind a truck. The higher model numbers within the range denote the heavier versions, which despite a similar length carry a markedly higher unladen weight and hence a sturdier build. Fleet operators often run several weight classes of the same range in parallel, to cover both light transport jobs and very heavy loads with a single, uniform trailer technology.
Buying used at this class, the points that matter are the condition of the chassis and axles, the function of the braking system, wear on the deck or ramps, and corrosion on load-bearing parts. The axle load should be checked against the registration document before purchase, along with tyre condition and the validity of the periodic roadworthiness test.

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.
