Eichelberger SAL125 – heavy EU category O4 trailer with a 20,000 kg gross weight, 12,770 kg unladen weight, 7,230 kg payload, 13.70 m length and a 9.10 m axle spread
At a gross weight of 20,000 kg, the SAL125 belongs to EU trailer category O4, the band above 10 tonnes for which a compressed-air brake system with multi-axle brake distribution is mandatory. The four wheels indicate an axle group that spreads the load across several contact points.

At an unladen weight of 12,770 kg, the payload comes to 7,230 kg, a high tare weight for this class, where the structure itself accounts for a large part of the permitted gross weight. That fits a sturdy chassis reinforced for heavy loads rather than a loading area built for minimum weight. At 13.70 m length and a 9.10 m axle spread, the SAL125 is a long vehicle, its 2.50 m width sitting within the European envelope for road vehicles.
Towing combinations in this weight class require a category CE licence. The high tare weight against a comparatively moderate payload points to a design built in itself for heavy loads and stability rather than maximum payload capacity.
When buying used, because of the high tare weight the axles and their suspension deserve particular attention, along with the frame for cracking around the axle mounts, the tightness of the air system along its full length, and even tyre wear across all four wheels. The coupling eye and its bearing are also worth checking given the weight it regularly carries.

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.
