The Saf/mattila TANK2000 is a trailer from Saf/mattila (EU vehicle class O4), registered as built in 2000. It is 10,800 mm long and 2,500 mm wide, weighs 7,560 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 36,000 kg.
The Saf/mattila TANK2000 offers a payload of 28,440 kg – the gap between unladen and permitted gross weight. More than half of the gross weight is therefore available for cargo.
With a permitted gross weight of 36,000 kg the trailer exceeds the BE limit of 3,500 kg. It requires a C1E licence as long as the combination stays within 12,000 kg, otherwise CE – in practice behind a truck or an agricultural tractor.
Among the 7 trailers from Saf/mattila with a stated length, the Saf/mattila TANK2000 at 10,800 mm is in the middle of the range (rank 5); the range runs from 7,550 to 14,150 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists one unit – one of the brand's most common models.
Saf/Mattila Tank2000 – EU class O4 tank trailer with a 36,000 kg gross weight for dense liquid cargo such as fuel or chemicals
With a gross weight of 36,000 kg the Tank2000 falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers above 10 tonnes. The model name points to a tank body, used for carrying liquid goods whose weight can shift while driving as the liquid surges inside the tank.

The body is 10.8 m long and 2.5 m wide. Unladen weight is 7,560 kg, leaving a high payload of 28,440 kg, typical for dense liquid cargo. The ratio of moderate length to high payload fits a tank divided into several compartments that stabilise the load.
Class O4 requires an air-brake system with its own supply line from the towing vehicle. Tank bodies for liquid cargo are usually divided into compartments to limit surge under braking and cornering, and depending on the medium carried they need a lining compatible with it. Tractor unit and trailer must be joined by a coupling rated for the high axle load. Compartments also make cleaning and inspection between different cargoes more manageable, and they limit the load a single leak would release.
Buyers should check the tank shell for corrosion, dents and seal integrity at welds and manhole covers, and the discharge fittings for proper function and tightness. The chassis, axles and brake system should be checked as on any heavy trailer, for wear. A current roadworthiness certificate and, where applicable, a tank inspection certificate are also worth checking.

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.
