The TM9 dates from 1967 and has an unladen weight of 5,660 kg; against the gross weight of 23,314 kg that leaves a payload of 17,654 kg. Length is 8,800 mm, width 2,450 mm and wheelbase 6,750 mm; the body stands on eight wheels. The low unladen weight relative to payload points to a design built for load volume rather than for its own mass, typical of flatbed or box-type semi-trailers from that era.
In class O4, a multi-axle compressed-air brake system is mandatory; the overrun brake of the lighter classes is not sufficient above 10 tonnes. Towing requires driving licence category CE, and the towing vehicle's permitted towed mass must be rated for this gross weight.
When buying a trailer of this age used, check first the condition of the frame and side members, since corrosion and fatigue cracks at the axle and coupling mounts appear first after so many years in service. The brake system belongs on a test rig, as do the axles, axle bearings and suspension. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands; with a 1967 build date, spare parts are a matter for specialists or custom-made replacements, and the wiring and lighting deserve a careful look after so many decades in service.

- 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.
