Esve EA – the range of heavy tandem and tridem trailers, 16 versions with unladen weight 2,120 to 15,860 kg, gross weight 4,500 to 22,000 kg, lengths up to 12.3 m

The EA range from the Dutch brand Esve bundles heavy tandem and tridem trailers for special transport. Model designations such as EA 10-10, EA 12-10L and EA 21-C combine several numbers with a letter suffix that distinguishes the individual versions within the range.

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.

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 where available.

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.
