The register lists here 5 versions with kerb weights from 4,660 to 5,930 kg at gross weights from 18,000 to 24,000 kg, lengths from 9,350 to 10,450 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.

With gross weights from 18,000 to 24,000 kg the range sits in the medium-to-upper band of EU class O4 and is aimed at commercial road haulage. Such trailers compete on the German and European market with a wide range of other multi-axle trailer manufacturers.

On a used trailer of this weight class, what counts is the condition of the frame and axle mounts, the function of the air brake system, the condition of tyres and rims given the axle loads, and corrosion on the body and load floor; a complete inspection and registration history makes assessment easier. Spare parts run through the German commercial-vehicle trade and in part directly through Wecon. It is also worth checking the trailer coupling, jockey wheel and wheel chocks for completeness and wear. The condition of the trailer lighting and number-plate holder also belongs in the pre-purchase check.

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.
