Tinsley – other models: the collective page of the British heavy trailers TT1227 AS, TT1527/40AS and TT38/2 SF AS, 5,670 to 11,840 kg unladen weight, 33,300 to 40,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the trailers of the British maker Tinsley the register could not assign to a named range. The types TT1227 AS, TT1527/40AS and TT38/2 SF AS carry the prefix TT followed by numbers, from which no uniform size logic can be read in the register itself. As with many commercial-vehicle trailers, the programme is drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 5,670 to 11,840 kg, gross weights from 33,300 to 40,000 kg, lengths from 10,000 to 12,800 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights of up to 40,000 kg and lengths of up to 12,800 mm, the versions sit in the semi-trailer and heavy-trailer class used in road haulage behind tractor units or heavier truck tow vehicles. For operation in road haulage, besides the gross weight, axle loads and the tow vehicle's rating for the relevant fifth-wheel load are also decisive.
On a used example at this size, the condition of axles, brakes and air suspension, rust on frame and side rails along the full length, the state of the kingpin or drawbar eye and coupling, and tyres and rims all count in particular. Parts run through commercial-vehicle workshops and independent trailer operators. On versions with air suspension, the bellows and valves are also worth checking before the first drive.

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.
