23PP3-AL18/C/-405 by Naerko: EU class O4 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 40,500 kg, a length of 13,680 mm and an unladen weight of 6,150 kg

With a gross vehicle weight of 40,500 kg, the 23PP3-AL18/C/-405 belongs to EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. Within that class it sits toward the upper end of the weights typical for long-haul transport, well above the 10-tonne threshold where O4 begins, and is towed behind heavy tractor units.

The trailer is 13,680 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, with an unladen weight of 6,150 kg. That gives a payload of 34,350 kg, more than five times its own weight, pointing to a light frame combined with a long load length rather than to massive structural members. At 13.68 m long, it is one of the longer builds within this weight class.

For trailers in this weight class, air brakes with a two-line system are required, as on all O4 trailers. The rig is driven on licence category CE, since the gross combination weight is well beyond the limits of the lighter categories. The towing vehicle's coupling and air supply must also be rated for this length and load.

With such a light construction over such a long body, check the frame along its entire length for sagging and cracking at the cross connections, especially around the middle of the frame. Also check: condition of the axle bearings, brake system, tyres, the coupling, and a valid roadworthiness inspection.

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.
