Meierling MSA – heavy special semi-trailer range for abnormal-load transport: 9 versions, unladen weight from 4,900 to 10,720 kg, gross weight up to 71,000 kg, widths up to 2,560 mm
Meierling is a German manufacturer of heavy-haulage and special semi-trailers. The MSA range brings together a group of versions in the register, whose type designation consists of the MSA prefix and a two- to three-digit number distinguishing individual axle and load-bed configurations.

The register lists here 9 versions with unladen weights from 4,900 to 10,720 kg and a gross weight from 38,000 to 71,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,450 to 13,820 mm, and widths from 2,550 to 2,560 mm.
With gross weights up to 71 tonnes, the range is among the heaviest semi-trailers in the register, far above the limit of a regular articulated combination. Such versions are used in heavy and abnormal-load transport, for example to carry industrial plant, construction machinery or structural parts that cannot be moved on a conventional semi-trailer, and often operate under special official permits.
When buying a used heavy semi-trailer of this class, the frame and load bed (cracks, deformation from overloading), the condition of the axles and braking system, the axle steering on multi-axle versions, and the hydraulics where the load bed can be lowered all matter. Spare parts for the chassis and axles are available through the general semi-trailer parts trade, while specific components are best sourced from Meierling directly.

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.
