Ten Cate – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, types such as TCO 46-28 and TCD 39-28, 4 to 17.7 t unladen weight, 17.7 to 46 t gross weight
This page gathers the Ten Cate trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations such as TC0390-27, TCD 39-28, TCO 20, TCO 39 and TCO 46-28 combine the TC prefix with a further letter and a two- to four-digit number marking different capacity and size classes per model. Semi-trailers of this size are used in European road freight both for general cargo and for heavy transport, depending on whether the body is a curtain, tipper or low-loader.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 3,966 to 17,680 kg, gross weights from 17,670 to 46,000 kg, lengths from 7,560 to 13,050 mm and widths from 2,190 to 2,550 mm.
The span from under 4 tonnes to over 17 tonnes unladen weight and up to 46 tonnes gross weight shows that the Ten Cate name covers both lighter and very heavy trailers for road freight transport. The collective page therefore covers a wide field, from smaller trailers for regional transport to semi-trailers used in international long-haul transport.
On a used purchase, what matters on these trailers is the condition of frame and axles, corrosion on load-bearing parts, the function of the brake and suspension system, drawbar and coupling, and, depending on the body, curtain, side panels or load floor; spare parts are matched to model and build year.

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.
