K Emmett: heavy trailer in EU class O4 with a gross weight of 28,000 kg, a length of 14.0 m, an 8,800 mm wheelbase and a payload of about 3,950 kg
With a gross weight of 28,000 kg, the K EMMETT falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. Vehicles in this class run in long-haul and heavy-freight operation behind powerful tractor units or truck combinations, built for long daily distances and a high share of payload rather than urban distribution work.

With an unladen weight of 24,050 kg, the payload comes to around 3,950 kg. The body is 14.0 m long and 2.55 m wide, and the wheelbase is 8,800 mm. The comparatively high unladen weight against the payload points to a heavy-duty chassis or a solid, heavy body rather than a design aimed at maximum load volume.
Class O4 trailers carry air brakes as standard and need a towing vehicle with a matching air supply and load-dependent brake force control. Driving a combination of this size requires licence category CE, since the permissible gross train weight clearly exceeds the limits of categories BE and C1E.
When buying a used trailer of this size, the chassis and cross members deserve close attention, as rust perforation and old welds are not unusual on heavily loaded trailers of this kind. Also worth checking are the brake system with its lines and couplings, the condition of the wheel bearings and suspension, and whether the chassis number matches the registration papers.

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.
