Cuppers MA – lighter trailer range: 7 versions, unladen weight from 2,820 to 9,420 kg, gross weight from 11,000 to 24,000 kg, lengths of up to just over 10 metres
Cuppers builds a range of commercial trailers under the designation MA, brought together on this page. All model names consist of the code MA, a two-digit number from 11 to 24, and a consistently appended letter L, with one version additionally carrying a preceding A as in MA 24 AL; the notation varies between MA 12 L with a space and MA 12L without a space before the L.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 2,820 to 9,420 kg at a gross weight of 11,000 to 24,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,420 to 10,240 mm, and widths from 2,400 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights up to 24 tonnes, the MA range sits in the lighter to medium segment of the trailer class and thus covers a different need than the heavy long-haul trailers of around 40 tonnes, for instance in regional freight transport or for smaller loads. The spread of unladen weights from under 3 to over 9 tonnes shows a wide field from the light to the sturdier version within the same range.
When buying a used trailer of this range, check the frame and drawbar for corrosion and deformation, the condition of the axles and braking system, the operation of the lighting, and on the lighter versions also the condition of the floor panels or load area. Wear parts are available through the general commercial-vehicle parts trade, and on older examples it is also worth checking any retrofitted electrical and braking equipment.

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.
