The Fx Meiller MHPS 41/2-G is a trailer from Fx Meiller (EU vehicle class O4), built from 1999 to 2000. It is 8,650 mm long and 2,500 mm wide, weighs 5,050 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 33,000 kg.
The Fx Meiller MHPS 41/2-G offers a payload of 27,950 kg – the gap between unladen and permitted gross weight. More than half of the gross weight is therefore available for cargo.
With a permitted gross weight of 33,000 kg the trailer exceeds the BE limit of 3,500 kg. It requires a C1E licence as long as the combination stays within 12,000 kg, otherwise CE – in practice behind a truck or an agricultural tractor.
Among the 27 trailers from Fx Meiller with a stated length, the Fx Meiller MHPS 41/2-G at 8,650 mm is in the middle of the range (rank 18); the range runs from 7,170 to 11,750 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists 2 units – one of the brand's most common models.
Meiller MHPS – tipper semi-trailers from the Munich manufacturer with roots to 1850: three-axle construction and recycling tippers, unladen weight 4,340 to 7,940 kg, gross weight up to 45,000 kg
F. X. Meiller is a Munich family business founded in 1850 by the blacksmith Lorenz Meiller that has specialised for generations in tipper bodies, tipper trailers and semi-trailers and the associated hydraulics. The MHPS range comprises three-axle tipper semi-trailers for construction, recycling and earthworks businesses, from the compact MHPS 42 with hydraulic pendulum flap to large-volume versions. As class O4 vehicles, the MHPS semi-trailers run air brakes with ABS or EBS and are subject to recurring roadworthiness testing; the semi-trailer tractor requires a category CE licence.

The register lists 13 versions here with unladen weights from 4,340 to 7,940 kg and gross weights from 33,000 to 45,000 kg; lengths run from 8,360 to 10,250 mm, widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
As one of the established German tipper makers, Meiller's MHPS range mainly serves construction, earthworks and recycling companies that depend on ruggedness and quick availability of spare parts; the proximity to Munich's construction-machinery market and the bauma trade fair underlines its market position.
On used MHPS semi-trailers, check the condition of the tipping body and side walls for wear and cracks, the function of the tipping cylinder, hydraulic pump and controls, the tightness of the tailgate, the brakes and axles, and – on lift-axle versions – their lifting mechanism; Meiller-specific spare parts are readily available through the manufacturer and specialist dealers. The tridem axle group spreads the high payload across three axles, sparing tyres and road surface more than a tandem axle; the 2-inch kingpin is the common standard on these semi-trailers.

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.
