Gs AI-2000 – trailer series from the Dutch maker GS Meppel: 20 tonnes gross weight throughout, 4.68 to 5.87 tonnes unladen weight, 8.9 to 9.75 m length
GS Meppel is a Dutch maker of trailers and semi-trailers. The AI-2000 series gathers trailers with the consistent code AI-2000, supplemented by a letter such as CL, K, L, S, U or V for the respective version. The number 2000 in the type designation corresponds to the gross weight of 20,000 kg, which is the same for all models in the series. Dutch trailer makers such as GS Meppel have long supplied European freight transport with centre-axle and tandem trailers for exchange with lorries.

With a gross weight of 20 tonnes, the series falls into EU vehicle class O4 for trailers over 10 tonnes. The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights of 4,680 to 5,870 kg. Lengths range from 8,900 to 9,750 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,580 mm.
Trailers of this size are used in European freight transport as centre-axle or tandem trailers in exchange with lorries and compete with comparable series from other Dutch and German makers. Typical uses are the transport of general cargo, pallets and building materials, where the uniform 20-tonne class allows standardised payload across the whole series.
When buying used, check the drawbar and towing eye for cracks and wear, as well as the axles, brake system and suspension for condition and tightness. Standard checks include tyres, lighting and the load bed coating, and on centre-axle trailers also the nose weight and the condition of the overrun mechanism. Also check the lashing points, side boards and whether the type plate and chassis number match the documents. Spare parts for axles and brake systems are available through the general commercial vehicle parts trade.

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.
