The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 9,010 to 14,260 kg, gross weights from 39,000 to 45,000 kg, lengths from 13,680 to 14,040 mm and a uniform width of 2,600 mm.
Box semi-trailers of this size are widespread in European general-cargo and long-distance haulage, where a closed body protects the load from wind, rain and access; as a Dutch manufacturer, Van Eck's UT-3 mainly serves hauliers in the Benelux region and cross-border traffic. The uniform width of 2,600 mm across all models points to a standardised platform on which Van Eck builds the individual UT-3 variants; this consistency in engineering makes servicing and part interchangeability between individual units within the range comparatively straightforward.
On a used box semi-trailer, the condition of the box walls and roof should be checked for corrosion, dents and leaks, along with the load doors and seals, plus the frame, the three axles and the braking system; on older trailers, the load floor and lashing points are worth a look. Spare parts for axles and brakes come from the common European suppliers.

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.
