Fournier PB12G1P – an EU class O4 trailer with a 12,000 kg gross weight, 2,820 kg kerb weight and a design speed limited to 90 km/h
The Fournier PB12G1P belongs to EU trailer class O4, covering trailers and semi-trailers above 10,000 kg gross vehicle weight, for which compressed-air brakes are required. At 12,000 kg, the trailer sits only just above that threshold, at the lighter end of the class.

At a gross weight of 12,000 kg and a kerb weight of 2,820 kg, the trailer carries a payload of about 9,180 kg, more than three times its own weight. At 8,250 mm long, 2,550 mm wide and with a 5,900 mm wheelbase, it is built for heavy but compact loads. Unlike most trailers in this class, its top speed is limited to 90 km/h.
Such a high payload share against a low kerb weight points to a trailer with a light but sturdy frame, suited to dense bulk materials or packaged bulk goods where the weight of the load is what matters. The compressed-air brake has to deliver even braking force across such a large difference between the empty and fully loaded states.
When buying used, the chassis deserves particular attention for distortion and corrosion, since a light frame under a heavy payload is worked harder than that of a heavier trailer. The air lines and coupling heads should be checked for leaks, as should the wheel bearings and the load platform for wear. The coupling eye at the drawbar is worth checking too, since it carries the pulling load between the light frame and the towing vehicle.

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.
