Montracon – other models: semi-trailers outside the named ranges, three-axle types from C3A to V3AG, gross weight 22 to 48 t, widths up to 3.2 m
This page gathers the semi-trailers listed in the vehicle register under the name Montracon that could not be assigned to a named range. Montracon of Bawtry, England builds semi-trailers as curtainsiders, flatbeds, tippers and tankers; the abbreviation 3A in types such as C3A, M3A, SMRC3A and V3AG denotes the three-axle version, while TIR-3A-44 also marks use in international TIR transit traffic. With gross weights from 22 to 48 tonnes, all the semi-trailers listed here fall into class O4, the heavy semi-trailers.

The register lists here 17 versions with unladen weights from 4,200 to 9,020 kg, gross weights from 22,000 to 48,000 kg, lengths from 12,300 to 14,000 mm and widths from 2,450 to 3,200 mm.
Three-axle semi-trailers of this weight class form the backbone of British and European long-haul transport; depending on the body they carry parcel freight under a tarpaulin, palletised cargo on an open platform or bulk material in a tipper, and the width of up to 3.2 metres points to versions for special transport with extra width.
When buying used, check the axles, brakes and air suspension, the condition of the kingpin and fifth-wheel plate, the frame and underrun guard, and, depending on the body, the tarpaulin and its rail run, the condition of the side panels or the tightness of the tipping body; on TIR-approved semi-trailers also check the sealability of the tarpaulin and doors.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.

- 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.
