Ellegaard MS 2001 – heavy EU category O4 trailer with a 13,000 kg gross weight, 12,920 kg unladen weight, 10.00 m length and 2.55 m width
At a gross weight of 13,000 kg, the MS 2001 belongs to EU trailer category O4, the band above 10 tonnes for which a compressed-air brake system is mandatory. At 2.55 m width, the MS 2001 sits exactly at the European envelope for road vehicles.

The unladen weight of 12,920 kg sits only just below the gross weight limit: the structure itself therefore accounts for almost the entire permitted mass, fitting a trailer whose permanently built-in equipment makes up most of the weight and leaves little room for additional external load. At 10.00 m, the MS 2001 is a long vehicle for its weight class. The 1,280 mm figure given in the excerpt falls in the range of the spacing between axles within an axle group, not in the range of a wheelbase running the length of the vehicle.
Towing combinations in this weight class require a category CE licence. The compressed-air brake is load-dependent, and with such a high tare weight the design focuses mainly on the load-bearing capacity of the axles and frame themselves, rather than on additional payload.
When buying used, given the high tare weight the axle suspension and its spring elements deserve particular attention, along with the tightness of the air system along its full length, the frame around the axle mounts for cracking, and the fixed superstructure for corrosion and secure mounting.

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.
