Loewe LCS 218 ZB 5,2T: EU class O4 trailer with a permissible gross weight of 18,000 kg, unladen weight of 3,420 kg and payload of 14,580 kg at 9,520 mm length and 2,500 mm width
At a permissible gross weight of 18,000 kg, the LCS 218 ZB 5,2T from Loewe belongs to EU trailer class O4 - the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes hauled on long-distance routes behind heavy tow vehicles. Trailers of this size usually appear as flatbed, tipper or low-loader semi-trailers, moving construction machinery, bulk goods or general cargo over long distances.

At a length of 9,520 mm and a width of 2,500 mm, the trailer has an unladen weight of 3,420 kg; against the permissible 18,000 kg that leaves a payload of 14,580 kg. The wheelbase between the outermost axles is 5,150 mm. It runs on 8 wheels.
As a class O4 vehicle it is fitted with air brakes under EU rules, mandatory from this weight class upward. Towing it requires, depending on the tow vehicle, at least driving licence category C1E or CE. EU rules also require category A anti-lock braking (ABS) for trailers in classes O3 and O4, preventing the trailer from breaking away under braking.
A used-trailer check should start with the frame: corrosion at the axle mounts and cross members is the most common fault on this type. Add to that a function check of the air brake system including lines and brake chambers, tyre condition relative to load rating, play in the axle bearings, the condition of the towing eye or coupling, and a valid roadworthiness inspection. The check should also cover the suspension, the load floor for corrosion, matching of the chassis number to the documents, and the presence of load-securing lashing points.

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.
