Nooteboom is a Dutch manufacturer of low-loaders and modular trailers based in Wijchen, ranking among the world's best-known specialists in heavy and special haulage.

The register lists 25 versions here with unladen weights from 9,920 to 29,400 kg and gross weights from 31,000 to 93,000 kg; lengths run from 12,950 to 25,600 mm, widths from 2,480 to 2,740 mm.
With gross weights up to 93 tonnes and lengths beyond 25 metres, the MCO range serves the heavy-haulage sector for construction machinery, industrial plant and transformers, where extendable load floors and steerable additional axles ensure manoeuvrability on tight building sites.
On used MCO low-loaders, check the condition of the frame and load floor for deformation and cracks, the function of the hydraulic cylinders for axle lift and load-floor lowering, the power-steering system, the brakes and tyres on all axles, and – on extendable models – the locking and guiding of the telescoping sections; given the high technical complexity, an inspection by a workshop specialising in heavy-haulage semi-trailers is worthwhile.

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.
