Recker – other models: low-loader semi-trailers outside the named ranges, unladen weights from 4,750 to 13,160 kg, gross weights up to 46,000 kg
This page gathers the Recker semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range; several models carry the suffix Tieflader or Tieflader Spezial, German for low-loader, directly in the name. The SAN, SANH and SANR types, together with a two- to three-digit number sequence that follows, form the range of heavy low-loader semi-trailers, supplemented by smaller trailers such as the JTA24.

The register lists here 19 versions with unladen weights from 4,750 to 13,160 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 46,000 kg, lengths from 13,400 to 13,700 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
With gross weights up to 46 tonnes and the explicit low-loader naming, the vehicles sit in the field of construction-machinery transport, where excavators, crawler dozers and other working machines are carried at a low loading height to keep within road height limits; in German-speaking countries the segment is shaped, alongside Recker, by manufacturers such as Müller-Mitteltal and Faymonville.
When buying used, low-loaders call for checking the condition and tightness of the hydraulics for the lowerable or extendable load platform, the condition of the chassis and main beams, axles, steering axles and braking system, and rust on the loading ramps; parts for axles and hydraulics run through the usual commercial-vehicle suppliers such as BPW, SAF and Hyva.

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.
