Gofa ALU – aluminium tipper semi-trailers from 34 to 40 t gross weight: build sizes 52 to 136, E and AL versions, up to 12.7 m long
Gofa's ALU series denotes, as the name indicates, tipper semi-trailers of aluminium construction, considerably lighter than steel versions at the same payload. The numbers from 52 to 136 mark different build sizes, the I suffix denotes a build series, E and AL further variants of the same base type, and K a separate version.

The register lists 12 versions here with unladen weights from 5,980 to 9,540 kg and gross weights from 34,000 to 40,000 kg. Recorded lengths fall between 12,400 and 12,700 mm, widths between 2,490 and 2,600 mm.
Aluminium tipper semi-trailers such as the ALU series are used above all for bulk-material transport – gravel, sand, grain or recycled material – where the lower unladen weight compared with steel semi-trailers translates directly into extra payload; Gofa thus stands alongside other Dutch tipper specialists in European building-material and agricultural transport.
When buying used, check the condition of the aluminium body for cracks and fatigue damage at the welds, the tipping hydraulics with cylinder and valves, the axle assemblies and air suspension, and the brake system. Floor flaps and seals also need checking; spare parts for the aluminium structure are mostly supplied by the manufacturer itself. On the I-series versions, also check the condition of the tailgate seals and the wear of the tipping hinges.

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.
