The register lists 6 versions with kerb weights from 6,820 to 18,160 kg and gross vehicle weights from 32,000 to 36,000 kg. Lengths run from 12,400 to 13,400 mm and widths from 2,490 to 2,600 mm.
With kerb weights of over 18 tonnes and a gross vehicle weight of 36,000 kg, the heaviest versions of the ET range are particularly massively built semi-trailers for heavy-duty use, while the lighter models of the range sit around 32 tonnes gross vehicle weight. Semi-trailer manufacturers in the Rotterdam region benefit from proximity to the largest European seaport and the container and general-cargo handling concentrated there.
When buying used, the frame and axle mountings should be checked for corrosion and wear, along with the brakes, air suspension and kingpin. On the heaviest versions it is also worth checking frame torsional stiffness and undercarriage corrosion, which is more common on vehicles that have operated in port environments; spare parts are stocked by the Dutch and Belgian commercial-vehicle trade.

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.
