Hk Tipper S38B – EU category O4 tipping trailer, built in 2017: 38,000 kg gross weight, 31,900 kg payload, 9.15 m length, 5.96 m wheelbase.
With a gross weight of 38,000 kg, the Hk Tipper S38B falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. The company name Tipper states the body type directly: a tipping trailer whose bed lifts hydraulically to unload bulk material.

With an unladen weight of 6,100 kg, payload comes to 31,900 kg, more than 80 per cent of the gross weight, a high ratio of payload to unladen weight for the class. At 9.15 m long, 2.55 m wide and with a 5.96 m wheelbase on four wheels, the trailer sits on a compact chassis built for high payload rather than large volume, as needed for sand, gravel or crushed stone.
Tipping trailers of this weight class are 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 tipping function needs its own hydraulic system with cylinder, pump and controls, which must be serviced separately from the brakes.
When buying a used tipping trailer of this kind, check the hydraulic cylinders and lines for leaks, the air brake system including brake cylinders, corrosion and wear on the bed from abrasive bulk material, and the function of the tipping lock and tailgate. Given such a high payload share, it is also worth checking the frame for twisting after frequent one-sided tipping.

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.
