The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 4,700 to 6,240 kg at a gross weight of 18,000 to 20,000 kg. Widths range from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.

At a gross weight of 18 to 20 tonnes, the OM range sits in the medium-duty segment of semi-trailers typical of regional and national freight transport in the Netherlands, well below the heavy three- and four-axle trailers used for long-haul transport.

When buying a used trailer in this class, check the frame and axles for rust and wear, the condition of suspension and brakes, and the tightness of the floor and body. Spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the general trailer parts trade, while body-specific parts come directly from Van Eck. It is also worth checking tyre age and tread depth, the function of the lighting system together with reflective markings, and proof of the periodic roadworthiness inspection.

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.
