Piacenza – other models: collective page of semi-trailers outside the named ranges, S36 and ST.36 types, 30 to 39 t gross weight, up to 13.9 m length
This page gathers the Piacenza semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The brand name refers to the northern Italian city of Piacenza; type designations such as S 36 R, S33R2N, S36C2T and ST.36/3/15 consistently carry the number 36, matching a weight class of around 36 tonnes, supplemented with codes for axle and body variants.

The register lists here 8 versions with gross weights from 30,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 8,600 to 13,900 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
With gross weights up to 39 tonnes and lengths approaching 14 m, the programme sits in the field of heavy semi-trailers for Italian and southern European construction-site and heavy-haulage traffic; such tipper and transport semi-trailers compete with other Italian trailer builders such as Cometto and Acerbi, producing similar weight classes.
Buying used in this class, frame and axles matter most: corrosion on cross and side members, the condition of the brakes and suspension, on tipper versions additionally the tightness of the body and the condition of the tipping hydraulics, and tyre tread deserve inspection, together with registration papers and inspection history. Parts for axles, brakes and hydraulics on semi-trailers are usually available across brands through the open 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.
