With an unladen weight of 7,450 kg, the payload comes to 20,550 kg. At 8.60 m long and 2.45 m wide, this load is concentrated on a comparatively short chassis, a design typical of heavy, compact goods whose weight reaches the limit faster than load volume.
Category O4 trailers are generally fitted with an air brake system across several axles. Towing in a combination requires licence category C1E or CE in the EU, depending on the combination's gross weight. The short, compact build combined with high payload calls for a correspondingly strong frame and axle construction, since the load sits close together rather than spread along a long deck, and the frame has to absorb correspondingly high local stresses.
When buying a used trailer from the 1974 build year, given its age, the frame around the axle mounts deserves particular attention for cracking and rust, especially thoroughly on such an old vehicle. The checklist should also cover the axle bearings and their suspension given the high payload, the air lines and couplings for leaks, and the availability of spare parts for the brakes and axle on a vehicle this age. The drawbar and its mounting point deserve the same close attention, since they carry the full pulling force of a short, heavy trailer.

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.
