York – further models: the collection page for heavy semi-trailers and trailers of the LDN, LDS, SDT, SIDT, SKN, GP and YTV series, 3.1 to 34.6 t unladen weight, up to 40 t gross weight

This collection page brings together the York trailers the register could not assign to a named series. Model names run across several parallel letter series – LDN, LDS, LDSK, LDSN and L.D.S.N in one group, SDT, SIDT and SKN in another, plus the shorter GP, GPN, IB and IDT series and the YTV and YTVN types. The digit strings after the codes (such as 34/3, 40/3 or 46/3) distinguish individual variants within a series.

The register lists 36 versions with an unladen weight from 3.1 to 34.6 t and a gross weight from 10 to 40 t. Lengths range from 7.12 to 13.9 m, widths from 2.45 to 2.6 m.

These figures place the page firmly in the segment of heavy semi-trailers and centre-axle trailers for construction and heavy haulage. Vehicles of this kind serve road and earthworks, the transport of construction machinery and bulk materials, and recycling and waste logistics.

When buying used, key checks include the condition of the frame and cross members, corrosion on load-bearing parts, and play in axles and steering axles. The braking system, air-suspension bellows and connecting lines should be checked for leaks, and on tipper versions the hydraulic rams and seals too. Spare parts for axles, brakes and couplings are stocked by dealers specialising in commercial trailers. Wheel alignment should also be checked on tandem-axle versions.

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.
