Forss Parator – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, with S3 FT 80, S4-C0-104 and S5FTX120, 27 to 42 t gross weight, 9.35 to 13.67 m length
This page gathers the Forss Parator trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. It lists the versions S3 FT 80, S4-C0-104 and S5FTX120; the designations follow a technical code scheme of letters and numbers. The values come from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical figures.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 5,700 to 10,400 kg, gross weights from 27,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 9,350 to 13,670 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
With gross weights of 27 to 42 tonnes, all versions fall into the class of heavy trailers for truck-and-drawbar or semi-trailer operation; the length range of 9.3 to 13.7 metres covers shorter trailers as well as long semi-trailer or drawbar-type builds. Payload reserves range, depending on the version, from around 17 to over 30 tonnes.
On a used trailer of this class, the condition of axles, brakes and frame, rust on load-bearing parts, the function of the hydraulics on tipping or extending bodies, and tyres and rims all count. Parts for such small brands mostly come through independent commercial-vehicle workshops rather than a manufacturer network. On inspection, it is also worth checking the data plate and the condition of the coupling itself, as both give clues to how the trailer was used and maintained. The condition of the support leg and coupling head also belongs to a thorough check before buying.

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.
