With an unladen weight of 5,823 kg, payload comes to 24,177 kg, a high share of the gross weight. At 9.17 m long, 2.55 m wide and with a 5.48 m wheelbase, the trailer sits on a compact, multi-axle chassis that carries the high payload on a comparatively short base.
From class O3 upwards, trailers of this size are generally fitted with air brakes rather than the simple overrun brake used on light trailers. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category C1E or CE in the EU, depending on the combined train weight. The compact build combined with a high payload calls for even load distribution across the platform, so axle loads stay within the permitted range rather than concentrating on a single axle.
When buying a used unit, check the frame and load platform: deformed main rails from point overloads and corrosion on the cross members are common weak spots on compact, heavily loaded chassis. Check the air lines for leaks, listen to the axle bearings for play, inspect the load-lashing points for deformation, and assess the condition of the frame paintwork as an indicator of earlier upkeep.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.

- 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.
