Plowman Brothers PBL T9: an EU class O4 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 30,000 kg, an unladen weight of 10,100 kg, a length of 12,700 mm and a 7,050 mm wheelbase, built in 2011
With a gross vehicle weight of 30,000 kg, the Plowman Brothers PBL T9 falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. Vehicles in this class run in long-haul and heavy-duty transport behind suitably approved towing vehicles and are built for sustained loads rather than occasional use.

The 2011 PBL T9 has an unladen weight of 10,100 kg and, at a gross vehicle weight of 30,000 kg, reaches a payload of 19,900 kg. At 12,700 mm long, 2,540 mm wide and with a 7,050 mm wheelbase, it is a long build with a balanced ratio of unladen weight to payload. That leaves a solid margin for everyday haulage work.
Trailers in this weight class run with air brakes as standard, since EU rules no longer permit an overrun brake above 10 tonnes. Towing vehicle and trailer form a single braking unit matched to the combined train weight; such a combination is driven with a category CE licence.
On a trailer of this age, the frame and chassis rails deserve particular attention: through-corrosion typically starts at the mountings for axles, suspension and the tow coupling. The brake system should be checked for tightness and even response, and the tyres for flat spots and rubber age regardless of tread depth. Lighting and the underrun guard must be complete, or the next roadworthiness test will fail on that alone.

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.
