Wecon AWZ – range of heavy trailers with 11 to 24 t gross weight: 2.42 to 5.46 t unladen weight, 9.40 to 10.80 m length, 2.40 to 2.60 m width
Wecon's AWZ range comprises heavy, multi-axle trailers spanning 11 to 24 tonnes gross weight. The type names carry a three-digit number after the AWZ code distinguishing the version within the range, and on several types additional letter-and-number suffixes marking variants of the same basic design. Models such as AWZ 218/245 or AWZ 218 445 combine the base type with a further number denoting an additional equipment or axle variant.

The register lists here 12 versions with unladen weights from 2,420 to 5,460 kg, gross weights from 11,000 to 24,000 kg, lengths from 9,400 to 10,800 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,600 mm.
With an unladen weight under 5.5 tonnes against a gross weight of up to 24 tonnes, these trailers reach payloads well above 15 tonnes – a layout common on multi-axle trailers for bulk goods, agricultural harvest transport and building-site traffic, where the lowest possible unladen weight maximises the load on every trip. Trailers of this kind usually run on tandem or tridem axles to spread the high load across several axles and stay within the permitted axle load.
On a used example, the condition of the chassis and frame under the high payload, axles, suspension and brakes count, and on tipping versions additionally the hydraulic cylinders and tipping body for tightness and wear, the side boards and their catches, and tyres and rims for the relevant load rating, as well as the lighting system and the electrical and pneumatic connections to the towing vehicle.

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.
