The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 5,640 to 7,420 kg, gross weights from 16,000 to 28,000 kg, lengths from 9,240 to 9,950 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
Trailers of this weight class serve to carry building materials, machinery and general cargo in commercial road transport and are, in the Netherlands and neighbouring markets, a common trailer type for medium-weight transport tasks. They are mostly operated by hauliers and construction firms that rely on a broad, standardised trailer fleet.
Buying used, the condition of the frame and axles, the brake system and hitch coupling, the alignment of the running gear, and rust on load-bearing parts and side panels all count; wear parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the general commercial-vehicle parts trade. It is also worth comparing the type plate and chassis number against the vehicle documents and checking the tyres for even wear, since one-sided wear points to axle damage.

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.
