Esape VPV-38T – the trailer: five versions of the VPV-38T range with differing number sequences in the type designation, 7,400 to 11,300 kg unladen weight, 36,480 to 38,000 kg gross weight
This page covers the VPV-38T range from Esape, listed in the register in five slightly different spellings: VPV-38T / 132+653+182, VPV-38T/132+584+182, VPV-38T/136+651+182, VPV-38T/136+655+182 and VPV38T/132+653+182. The 38 in the type name is close to the range's gross weight of around 38 tonnes, while the number sequences that follow distinguish the individual versions, with no way to establish their exact meaning with certainty.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 7,400 to 11,300 kg, gross weights from 36,480 to 38,000 kg, lengths from 12,300 to 15,750 mm and widths from 2,520 to 2,550 mm.
With a gross weight close to 38 tonnes and lengths of up to 15.75 metres, the range falls into the class of heavy trailers for special transport, towed behind suitably rated tractor units for long or very heavy, compact goods. The small differences between the five versions point to different axle or frame variants of the same base design.
On a used example in this weight class, the condition and load rating of the axles, the function of the brake system and the couplings to the tractor unit, rust on frame and side members, and the condition of hydraulics and ramps, where fitted, all count above all. Lighting, plug connections and tyres are also worth checking, along with documentation of any special permits. Parts for such a small range usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops.

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.
