Kerkhove ACD 303L: EU class O4 trailer with a gross weight of 28,000 kg, a length of 8.85 m, a 4,550 mm wheelbase and a payload of about 22,780 kg
With a gross weight of 28,000 kg, the ACD 303L falls into EU trailer class O4. At a length of 8.85 m it is shorter than many trailers in this weight class, pointing to a compact, highly load-bearing body such as those used in heavy-haulage or building-material transport over short to medium distances.

With an unladen weight of 5,220 kg, the trailer carries a payload of around 22,780 kg, more than four times its own weight. The body is 2.50 m wide, and the wheelbase is 4,550 mm. This ratio of low unladen weight to high payload on a comparatively short load area is typical of a design optimised for load density rather than 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 like this requires licence category CE. Trailers in this weight class also need rear underrun protection under UN/ECE Regulation R58, intended to reduce the severity of collisions where a car runs into the back of the trailer.
When buying a used trailer of this type, it is worth checking the frame for deformation caused by concentrated loads, and the brake system with its lines for leaks. The wheel bearings and suspension should be checked for play, as should whether the chassis number matches the registration papers. The rear underrun protection should additionally be checked for secure mounting and any deformation.

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.
