System Trailers PRS – heavy drawbar trailers from Papenburg: unladen weight 6,730 to 10,380 kg, gross weight 22,000 to 44,000 kg, lengths up to 14,020 mm
System Trailers is a trailer manufacturer based in Papenburg in the Emsland region. The PRS range bundles several sizes, whose type numbers 10, 18, 20 and 27 order the versions within the range by size; further suffixes in the type designation such as TR1 and TRI mark additional build variants. The Emsland location lies close to the Dutch border, which eases sales of the PRS range in both countries and shortens routes to customers in cross-border freight traffic.

The register lists 5 versions with unladen weights from 6,730 to 10,380 kg, gross weights from 22,000 to 44,000 kg, lengths from 10,000 to 14,020 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm. The entire range therefore falls into vehicle class O4.
As a heavy drawbar trailer for long-haul transport, the PRS range is operated coupled behind tractor units or heavy trucks to carry additional volume and payload in drawbar rather than semi-trailer operation, for instance pallets, general cargo or bulk goods. Compared with a second articulated unit, drawbar operation saves on driver and tractor unit, but requires the driver to hold the additional trailer category on their licence.
When buying used in this weight class, axles, the braking system and tyre condition matter, along with the chassis for cracks and corrosion and the drawbar and its mounting; on the multi-axle versions, even wear across all axles also matters. Spare parts and service run directly through the manufacturer.

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.
