Mafa – other models: the collective page of heavy trailers outside the named ranges, types such as CONT.SAL 40.27E and SAL40.24/82EFG, up to 25 tonnes unladen weight, up to 42 tonnes gross weight
This page gathers the Mafa trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Mafa builds heavy multi-axle trailers for container and heavy-load haulage, recognisable from types such as CONT.SAL 40.27E, SAL40.24/82EFG or SAL36.20E, whose codes combine letters for body type and equipment with numbers for axle count and payload class.

The register lists here 20 versions with unladen weights from 3,640 to 25,145 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 7,510 to 13,850 mm and widths from 2,430 to 2,550 mm.
Trailers of this class run in drawbar combinations behind tractor units or lorry chassis and take on containers, swap bodies or heavy loads where a single vehicle reaches its payload limit; the wide span from light to extremely heavy versions shows a range from standard to special-transport trailers. The container versions carry twist-lock fittings for the standard 20- and 40-foot sizes, allowing them to be used regardless of the individual container's owner.
On used examples, the frame and torsional stiffness, the condition of axles, steering axles and brakes, locks for containers or swap bodies, and a complete history of safety inspections all count; parts run through specialist trailer workshops. On the heaviest versions, the condition of the multi-axle steering linkage deserves particular attention, since repairs there are costly.

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.
