Unladen weight stands at 6,380 kg, length at only 8,450 mm and width at 2,550 mm. The difference between gross and unladen weight gives a payload of 40,620 kg – an exceptionally high payload for such a short length in this weight class, pointing to a compact low-bed or heavy-haul trailer for dense, concentrated loads rather than a long bulk-volume vehicle.
Trailers of this weight class are fitted exclusively with air brakes. The tow vehicle would be a tractor unit or heavy-haul prime mover requiring licence category CE; commercial use additionally involves the driver-qualification rules.
On a trailer built in 2005, what counts is the condition of the axles, brake system and linings, the tightness of the air lines, and rust at the frame and landing gear. Given such a high payload over such a short length, it is also worth checking whether the frame and axle mounts show deformation from concentrated heavy loads, and whether the tyres and rims show even wear. Given such a high payload over a short length, it is also worth checking whether the fitted tyres are rated for the permitted axle load.
