Samro ST – range from the French trailer maker Samro: seven versions, 7,240 to 21,970 kg unladen weight, 34 to 39 tonnes gross weight

The ST range brings together semi-trailers from the French manufacturer Samro, which specialises in curtainside trailers. The model list shows the base types ST 38 and ST 39 with numerous letter suffixes such as RA, WGRA, WGWA, WH, WHRA and WGPE, plus the ST 45 FH type, for individual equipment and body variants. The number in the type designation – 38, 39 or 45 – visibly corresponds to the weight class of the respective version.

The register lists 7 versions with unladen weights from 7,240 to 21,970 kg at gross weights from 34,000 to 39,000 kg. Lengths range from 13,780 to 14,040 mm, widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.

With lengths of around 14 metres and gross weights of up to 39 tonnes, the ST range belongs to the semi-trailers of European long-distance haulage and competes with further French and central European makers of curtainside and special trailers. Within French road haulage, Samro ranks among the established names for trailer bodies alongside the larger pan-European manufacturers.

When buying a used trailer of this range, the frame and kingpin mount should be checked for cracks and wear, along with the condition of axles, brakes and suspension, and on curtainside bodies the condition and tightness of the tarpaulin, roof bows and locks. Tyres, lighting and landing legs belong to the standard check; spare parts for axles and brakes are available through the general commercial-vehicle 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.
