Dangelmaier TW1000 – EU class O4 trailer: 12,000 kg gross vehicle weight, 5,300 kg unladen weight, 14.47 m long, built 1987
With a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 kg, the Dangelmaier TW1000 belongs to EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers beyond 10 tonnes hauled in long-distance haulage with their own air brakes behind a tractor unit or as a drawbar trailer. Riding on eight wheels, such a vehicle spreads its load across several axles, which at this weight class is necessary to keep axle loads within the permitted range.

The TW1000 was built in 1987 and has an unladen weight of 5,300 kg; against a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 kg, that leaves a payload of 6,700 kg. Overall length is 14,470 mm, wheelbase 7,560 mm, width 2,580 mm.
At around 14.5 m overall length, the TW1000 counts among the longer trailers in its class, the kind used for bulky or long-shaped goods. The air brake system has to bite evenly on all eight wheels; uneven wear between the axles on such a long vehicle quickly causes it to skew under braking.
When buying used, a trailer this long with air brakes lives or dies on the frame: with a 1987 build year, check for rust-through in the middle of the chassis, where long vehicles bear the most torsional load. Brake lines, brake cylinders and linings on every axle, axle bearings, tyres and tread depth, and lighting belong on the checklist alongside the coupling to the towing vehicle and the availability of spare parts for a vehicle of this age.

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.
