The register lists 15 versions of the TBD series with kerb weights from 5,370 to 14,280 kg at gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 45,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,330 to 14,000 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
As a classic three-axle semi-trailer, the TBD series is the workhorse of European road haulage, where hauliers look for high payload at low kerb weight and simple maintenance. In this segment Pacton competes with manufacturers such as Schmitz Cargobull, Krone and Kögel for fleet orders. On the used market, axle count and tyre condition directly affect payload capacity and toll costs, making them one of the first things buyers assess.
When buying a used TBD trailer, check the axles and brakes for wear and lining thickness, as well as the fifth-wheel coupling, underrun protection and chassis for rust at the crossmembers. The tarpaulin or body should be checked for leaks and the lighting system for completeness. Wear parts such as brake linings, suspension components and lighting are available through the independent commercial-vehicle parts 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.
