SA47 PELLICANO – short, heavy EU class O4 trailer with a 40,600 kg gross weight, 5,380 mm wheelbase and 30,430 kg payload for dense cargo
With a gross weight of 40,600 kg, the SA47 PELLICANO is among the heaviest trailers in EU class O4, well above that class's ten-tonne threshold. Trailers in this weight bracket come with air brakes as standard and run exclusively behind suitably approved tractor units in commercial heavy haulage.

At a kerb weight of 10,170 kg, the payload comes to 30,430 kg, almost 75 per cent of the gross weight. Notable is the combination of a comparatively short body length of 8,700 mm with this high gross weight: it points to a design for particularly dense, heavy cargo such as bulk goods or building materials rather than bulky freight. With a 5,380 mm wheelbase and four wheels on a 2,550 mm width, the trailer stays compact despite its weight.
The short, stocky build at high gross weight means a high axle load per metre of vehicle length, which calls for particularly robust axles, suspension and brakes. Driving it requires at least a category CE licence, and the tractor-and-trailer combination must be rated for this high gross weight.
When buying used, given this ratio of weight to length, the axle suspension deserves particular attention: springs, dampers and the axle-to-frame mounting should be examined for fatigue. The air brake system belongs on a test rig, and tyres with sufficient load rating for this axle load are mandatory, not merely advisable.

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.
