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.
