The register lists 3 versions with kerb weights from 1,300 to 11,800 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 38,000 kg, lengths from 5,470 to 13,300 mm and widths from 2,020 to 2,550 mm. The range thus spans from a light trailer to a three-axle semi-trailer for heavy haulage.

This collective page brings together two different EU trailer categories side by side: versions up to 3,500 kg gross weight fall into category O2 and are towed with an overrun brake behind a car requiring licence category B or BE, while the heavy semi-trailers above 10 tonnes belong to category O4, must carry air brakes and require a tractor unit with licence category CE. At the fifth wheel, the kingpin transmits not only pulling force but also the imposed load onto the tractor's drive axle, which is why its wear condition is critical to the stability of the whole combination.

Low-loaders and semi-trailers of this type carry excavators, dozers and other construction equipment and are common with French and wider European hauliers moving construction machinery. Alongside the large international brands, ACTM is one of the established French semi-trailer builders.

When buying used, check the condition of the chassis, the operation of the hydraulic ramps and axle steering on the multi-axle versions, the brakes and tyres, and the registration papers for heavy haulage. Parts for ramps, axles and hydraulics are available from the manufacturer and the French commercial-vehicle trade.
