A Trans Other models

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 5,900 to 8,200 kg, gross weights from 28,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 10,100 to 14,450 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.

With gross weights of 28 to 42 tonnes, all versions fall into the heavy semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer class, towed behind tractor units or powerful trucks in long-haul transport. Lengths over 10 metres and widths at the statutory limit of 2.55 metres point to standard semi-trailer chassis for general cargo, machinery or bulk goods rather than special transport.

On a used semi-trailer of this class, axle, brake system and frame condition, the function of air suspension and brake valves, corrosion on the fifth-wheel plate and landing legs, and tyre and rim condition all count. Parts for trailers of this weight typically come through independent commercial-vehicle workshops and axle makers rather than a narrow manufacturer network. Before the first journey, brake discs or drums and electrical connectors are also worth checking.
