Kel Berg trailers over 10 t (Class O4) – the Danish semi-trailer manufacturer for heavy haulage and low-loaders in the EU registration class: 137 versions, gross weights up to 69 t, lengths up to 21.37 m

Class O4 groups together, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight over 10 tonnes. Kel-Berg is a Danish semi-trailer manufacturer known above all for low-loaders, tippers and heavy-haulage combinations; the type codes in the register – D for standard trailers, E for lighter versions, each followed by a payload or axle-load figure and a letter for axle count (B2, S3, V) – follow an internal manufacturer logic that can only be read in outline from the model names.

The register lists 137 versions with unladen weights from 2,280 to 14,880 kg and permissible gross weights from 11,800 to 69,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 119 of the 137 vehicles and range from 5,050 to 21,370 mm, width for all 137 versions from 2,430 to 3,150 mm.

With gross weights up to 69 tonnes and lengths exceeding 21 metres, Kel-Berg covers the upper end of the heavy-haulage segment, where alongside low-loaders for construction machinery, extendable and multi-axle combinations for abnormal loads are also in demand – a market in which Danish and Swedish manufacturers have traditionally been strongly represented.

For a used trailer of this type, what matters is the condition and load capacity of the axles, usually with hydraulic steering on the rear axles, the function of the air suspension and EBS braking system, frame twist and corrosion, and the condition of ramps and deck surface on low-loaders. For extendable frames, ease of extension counts too, and a complete inspection history is essential for abnormal-load vehicles of this size.

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.
