The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 6,600 to 8,200 kg, gross weights from 39,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 13,800 to 13,920 mm and a uniform width of 2,550 mm.
With lengths close to 14 metres and gross weights up to 42 tonnes, the S01 type is among the heavy standard semi-trailers of European long-haul transport, used on scheduled routes between major haulage hubs and distribution centres. As a widely used base type, the S01 often forms the backbone of larger fleets running around the clock behind different tractor units.
When buying used, check the condition of the chassis and side rails, the axles, braking system and air suspension, and the kingpin and landing legs. On curtainsider versions, also check the operation and wear of the sliding curtain, roof bows and lashing rails, since these parts see the heaviest use in daily loading and unloading; the service history also indicates how hard the trailer has worked over its operating life.

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.
