Van Eck trailers over 10 t (Class O4) – type codes with CM/CT/DA/DM/DT prefixes and special bodies such as ECK-COOL: 204 versions in the EU heavy-haulage class, unladen weights 2,820 to 18,540 kg, lengths up to 14.05 m
Class O4 groups trailers with a permissible gross weight over 10 tonnes, as recorded in registration data from the Netherlands and Finland. At Van Eck, type designations visibly follow a scheme of two letters plus a running number – CM, CT, DA, DM and DT recur repeatedly and likely denote a chassis or axle variant. Alongside these are special names such as ECK-COOL, pointing to a refrigerated body, ECK PLY for a plywood-floor version, and DOLLY for lead axles used to extend semi-trailers into multi-part combinations.

The register lists 204 versions with unladen weights from 2,820 to 18,540 kg and permissible gross weights from 11,520 to 45,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 170 of the 204 vehicles and range from 6,050 to 14,050 mm, width for all 204 versions from 2,400 to 2,600 mm.
The narrow width span of just 200 mm, combined with a wide length span, points to a programme strongly geared towards container and swap-body transport as well as classic flatbed and refrigerated trailers, with a standardised vehicle width across almost all sizes.
For a used trailer of this type, check frame corrosion on chassis rails, the condition of axles and the EBS braking system, the function of the air suspension, and wear and locking of container twist-locks where fitted. For refrigerated bodies, add the tightness of the insulated box and the condition of the refrigeration unit; for dollies, the drawbar eye and coupling as well. A complete inspection history matters especially for special bodies, since parts are often only available through the Dutch commercial-vehicle 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.
