GS Meppel AV-3700 – Dutch semi-trailers: six versions from LB to UDB, 7.1 to 9.6 t unladen weight, 37 to 40 t gross weight
GS Meppel of the Dutch province of Drenthe rounds out its range with the AV-3700, a further semi-trailer series. This page covers the AV-3700 LB, AV-3700 LU, AV-3700 LUB, AV-3700 LUT, AV-3700 UB and AV-3700 UDB versions, whose letter combinations mark the respective equipment variant. As is usual with semi-trailers, the tractor unit alone provides the drive and part of the braking effort, while the trailer supplies the axles, brakes, tyres and load area.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 7,080 to 9,640 kg, gross weights from 37,000 to 40,000 kg and a width of 2,550 mm.
With gross weights up to 40 tonnes, the AV-3700 counts among the medium-heavy semi-trailers for freight transport used by hauliers in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries behind tractor units; alongside bigger names such as Broshuis and Nooteboom, GS Meppel is a specialised, regionally rooted manufacturer in Dutch trailer building. The AV-3700 too rounds out the GS Meppel range as a medium-heavy version for Dutch and cross-border freight transport.
On a used trailer, check for rust on the frame and chassis rails, the condition of axles, brakes and tyres, the operation of the kingpin, hydraulics and connections, and a complete inspection and service history; spare parts for this smaller brand usually run through the Dutch trailer trade. Tyre tread depth and age, and the condition of the wheel chocks and warning equipment, also belong in a pre-purchase check.

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.
