Gs AV-2800 – Dutch central-axle trailer range from manufacturer GS Meppel: 16 versions, all rated at a uniform 28-tonne gross vehicle weight
GS Meppel is a Dutch trailer manufacturer from Meppel (province of Drenthe) whose product range spans container and flatbed trailers, tipping trailers and central-axle trailers. The AV-2800 range denotes a low-built central-axle trailer – known in Dutch as a "schamel" – with a uniform gross vehicle weight of 28,000 kg; letter suffixes such as A, BU, C, DB, LB, LC, LUB, LUC, N, P, PLBM, R, T, U and UT mark the various body and equipment variants of this base version, for example portal-arm, extendable or low-built versions.

The register lists 16 versions of the Gs AV-2800 with kerb weights from 5,400 to 10,480 kg, all at a gross vehicle weight of 28,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,940 to 11,000 mm, and the width is a constant 2,550 mm.
As a central-axle trailer with a uniform 28-tonne rating, the AV-2800 serves haulage and transport firms for carrying containers, construction machinery or bulk materials behind tractor units and trucks, complementing semi-trailer operations in road freight.
When buying used, the central-axle block with its suspension, the drawbar and its mounting, and the brakes and tyres deserve particular attention; on extendable and portal-arm variants, the function of the movable frame sections should also be checked. GS Meppel offers spare parts and service at its Meppel site.

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.
