Esve EA 12 10B

The register lists here 16 versions with unladen weights from 2,120 to 15,860 kg, gross weights from 4,500 to 22,000 kg, lengths from 5,160 to 12,300 mm and widths from 2,020 to 2,600 mm.

The range thus covers the class of heavy dolly and low-bed trailers used for construction machinery, large farm equipment and special transports with police escort. Such special-purpose trailers are usually built in small numbers and often to a specific customer's requirements. Towing them requires a category CE licence; special transports beyond the normal size and weight limits additionally need a permit from the road-traffic authority, often together with escort vehicles or a police escort.

On used examples of this class, frame condition and welds, axle assemblies and brake system, often hydraulic braking rather than overrun, the condition of ramps and winches, inspection history and the tread of the often multi-wheeled axles count; parts run through the specialist trailer-building trade. On used EA trailers it is also worth checking the coupling and the support legs, which wear most from frequent hitching and unhitching on building sites, and looking through the service books.
