Meiller – other models: the collective page of tipping trailers and semi-trailers outside the named ranges, DMC, HKM, MHKA, MHKS, MHVA, MZDA and TR types, gross weights from 18,000 to 48,000 kg
This page gathers the Meiller trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Meiller specialises in tipper bodies for commercial vehicles; among the models on this collective page the maker's name also appears written out in full as F.X. Meiller. The type codes range from DMC and HKM through the tipping semi-trailer families MHKA, MHKS and MHVA to MZDA and TR, each with an attached axle count and payload class; suffixes such as NOSS or G mark individual equipment levels within these families.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 3,140 to 8,460 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 48,000 kg, lengths from 7,210 to 12,340 mm and widths from 2,480 to 2,550 mm.
Tippers of this size are the workhorse of earthworks, demolition and recycling: they haul sand, gravel, excavated soil, rubble and asphalt between pit, site and landfill, usually behind their own tractor or ballast unit in a three- or four-axle combination. Many such tippers move on to smaller haulage firms after years of service before finally being scrapped or restored.
On a used purchase, the tightness of the tipping body and the condition of the side-panel locks, the operation and oil level of the tipping ram and hydraulic pump, cracks in the frame around the tipping bearing, axles and braking system, and, on sheeted versions, the condition of the sliding roof all count.

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.
