Nooteboom EURO – the low-loader series from the Dutch heavy-transport specialist in Wijchen: 20 versions from EURO 38 02 to EURO 99-24, unladen weight 7.3 to 49.5 t, gross weight up to 183 t
The EURO series comprises the low-loader and semi-low-loader trailers built by Nooteboom, the Dutch heavy-transport specialist based in Wijchen and part of the VDL Groep. Type codes such as EURO 38 02, EURO 48 03 and EURO 78 04 distinguish axle count, payload capacity and deck height, with S marking an equipment variant and L a lengthened version.

The register lists 20 versions with unladen weights from 7,280 to 49,540 kg and gross weights from 36,000 to 183,380 kg. Widths range from 2,510 to 2,990 mm, lengths from 13,750 to 29,650 mm.
Trailers of this size move indivisible heavy loads such as construction machinery, transformers, wind-turbine components and industrial plant; the highest gross weights in the register come from coupled module combinations, standard practice in European heavy haulage. In this segment Nooteboom competes with Faymonville, Goldhofer and Broshuis. The longer-platform versions also move precast concrete elements and large industrial vessels.
When buying used, check the hydraulics for steering axles and deck lowering, frame cracks at the mounting points, tyre condition and the completeness of ramps and fittings; parts and service run through the Nooteboom dealer network. It is also worth checking the pins that connect individual modules in multi-part combinations.

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.
