Heitling

The register lists here 8 versions with unladen weights from 6,940 to 10,250 kg, gross vehicle weights from 32 to 42 t and lengths from 9,770 to 13,860 mm; the width is a uniform 2,550 mm across all versions.

With unladen weights from 6.9 t, gross vehicle weights up to 42 t and a uniform width of 2.55 m, this range sits at the top of the road-legal heavy-haulage segment, typical of semi-trailers and heavy low loaders. Trailers of this class are used almost exclusively by hauliers and transport companies in commercial heavy freight. This segment is mostly fed by used trailers from transport companies that replace their fleet after a set number of operating hours, which keeps the used-market age structure relatively young.

When buying a used heavy trailer of this class, check the frame and side rails for cracks and corrosion, the function of the air suspension and brake system, wear on the axle assemblies and tyres, and the condition of the kingpin or tow eye. The uniform 2.55 m width makes the models easy to compare, so on inspection the year of build, operating hours or mileage, and the condition of the technical inspection sticker matter most. Service history and regular checks of the air suspension matter at this class just as much as the condition of the bodywork.
