Pielhau TW9: an EU class O3 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 9,500 kg, an unladen weight of 2,400 kg, a length of 8,150 mm and a width of 2,380 mm, built in 1992
With a gross vehicle weight of 9,500 kg, the Pielhau TW9 falls into EU trailer class O3, the range between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. Trailers in this class need their own, usually air-operated brake system and are mostly used behind lorries and lighter towing vehicles in commercial transport.

The 1992 TW9 has an unladen weight of 2,400 kg and, at a gross vehicle weight of 9,500 kg, reaches a payload of 7,100 kg, a high share for class O3. At 8,150 mm long and 2,380 mm wide, it is a light but long build intended for bulky goods. Such a light but long build suits goods that take up a lot of space without weighing very much, rather than dense, heavy freight that would need a sturdier chassis.
For trailers with a gross vehicle weight between 3.5 and 10 tonnes, EU rules require a dedicated, usually air-operated brake system; a plain overrun brake generally no longer covers this class. The towing vehicle must provide sufficient braking power and permitted trailer weight for the combined train weight.
On a vehicle of this age, it is worth looking closely at the axles, suspension and brake system, since wear shows up there first. The frame should be free of through-corrosion, especially at welds and axle mountings. Tyres age through standing time regardless of tread, and lighting and the underrun guard must be complete for the roadworthiness test.

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.
