Desot OPL – heavy semi-trailer and low-loader range: 10 versions, unladen weight from 3,355 to 10,940 kg, gross weight from 30,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths up to 14,000 mm
The OPL range brings together a group of heavy trailers and semi-trailers at Desot, whose type designations combine digits and letters to distinguish the individual versions within the range. With gross weights consistently above 30 tonnes, the OPL range sits in the upper heavy-duty segment of trailer types and is used for transports well beyond the weight of ordinary semi-trailers.

The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 3,355 to 10,940 kg and a gross weight from 30,000 to 39,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,260 to 14,000 mm, and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
Trailers in this weight class are mainly used in construction, earthmoving and heavy haulage, for example to carry construction machinery, bulk materials or oversized structural parts. The wide spread of unladen weights within the range reflects different body variants, from comparatively light flatbed semi-trailers to heavily reinforced low-loader versions for particularly high payloads.
When buying a used trailer of this class, the frame and side members (corrosion, cracks, welds), the condition of the axles and braking system, the coupling device or drawbar, and the tightness and condition of the tarpaulin or body all matter. Spare parts for frame, axles and brake components are available through the general commercial vehicle and trailer parts trade, while Desot-specific parts are available only to a limited extent.

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.
