Zie Bijzonderheden – heavy trailers over 10 t (class O4) without manufacturer entry in the Dutch RDW register: “see particulars” instead of a brand, showmen's, special and converted vehicles, 2.3 to 48 t kerb weight
Zie bijzonderheden is Dutch for “see particulars” and not a manufacturer: the note with which the registration authority RDW fills the manufacturer field when no brand name can be entered for a vehicle and the details are in the particulars of the registration certificate. In class O4 – trailers over 10 t gross weight – this applies to the special vehicles of heavy haulage: converted or lengthened semi-trailers and turntable trailers, vehicles without type plate after decades in service, imports without EU type approval and the wagons of showmen, registered as Autoscooter, Home Mobile or Container Pusher. The model designations are accordingly axle counts (2 assige, 3 assige aanhangwagen), type codes of the original chassis, company names of bodybuilders or purposes; “geen” simply means “none”.

The register lists 145 versions with kerb weights from 2,340 to 47,960 kg, gross weights from 11,000 to 48,500 kg, lengths up to 15,350 mm and widths from 2,280 to 2,950 mm.
These vehicles are the reason the RDW register has a particulars field: fairground wagons that roll along the motorway once a year, heavy trailers from owner conversions, special bodies for agriculture and construction that are on the road after individual approval.
Anyone taking over such a vehicle checks the registration certificate with its particulars and inspection deadlines, frame and welds, axles, air suspension and braking system (EBS/ABS on younger bodies), kingpin or drawbar eye, lighting and tyres; parts usually come from axle and brake suppliers such as BPW, SAF and Wabco.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.

- 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.
