At a length of 13,570 mm and a width of 2,550 mm, the empty chassis weighs only 5,880 kg, leaving a payload of 48,120 kg – almost nine times its own weight. Such a low unladen weight at this load capacity is only achieved with a frame and axle design consistently optimised for weight. The semi-trailer was registered in 2012.
The lighter the chassis relative to its permitted payload, the more payload remains per trip – a key economic factor in heavy haulage. Semi-trailers like this run on air brakes on all axles and are used mainly for bulk material and palletised goods on long-distance routes.
When buying a used example of such a light construction, particular care is needed when inspecting the frame: weight-optimised designs respond more sensitively to overloading than heavier constructions, so cracks in the longitudinal beams and axle mounts need thorough checking. Also important are the braking system, tyre condition and the tightness of the air lines. Lighting and the condition of the coupling should also be part of any pre-purchase checklist for a semi-trailer built this light, since even small deficiencies matter more on a minimal frame.

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.
