Meier Burgstemmen ST 240 K13: heavy O4-class EU trailer with a 30,000 kg gross weight, 11,120 kg unladen weight and 13,250 mm length
With a gross weight of 30,000 kg, the Meier Burgstemmen ST 240 K13 falls into EU trailer category O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes towed by suitably powerful tractor units in long-haul haulage and construction logistics.

At 13,250 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, the vehicle weighs 11,120 kg unladen, leaving 18,880 kg of payload up to the permitted gross weight. The wheelbase is around 9,380 mm, a little over two-thirds of the overall length, typical of a continuous multi-axle chassis of this size. That gives a payload share of around 63 percent of the gross weight.
Vehicles in this weight class come with their own compressed-air braking system and are built for heavy, dense loads such as construction machinery, steel or concrete parts. Towing one requires licence category CE, since the gross weight is far above 3.5 tonnes. Under EU rules, O3 and O4 trailers must carry retroreflective contour markings at the rear and along the sides.
When buying a heavy trailer of this size used, focus on the compressed-air braking system and its coupling heads, on axle play and on the frame for cracking. With a payload share of nearly two-thirds, sustained overloading tends to show up first in the springs, axle stubs and tyre load capacity. After a test drive it is also worth checking that the wheel nuts are properly torqued and inspecting the tyre tread depth.

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.
