Unladen weight stands at 6,390 kg, length at 11,500 mm and width at 2,450 mm. The difference between gross and unladen weight gives a payload of 29,610 kg, more than four-fifths of the gross weight – a very light structure for this length, typical of semi-trailers built around payload rather than ruggedness.
Trailers of this weight class are fitted exclusively with air brakes. The tow vehicle would be a tractor unit requiring licence category CE; commercial use additionally involves the driver-qualification rules for the driver. The combination's overall length and turning behaviour on public roads also depend on this tractor unit, not on the trailer alone.
On a semi-trailer built in 2011, what counts is the condition of the axles, brake system and linings, the tightness of the air lines, and rust at the frame, kingpin and landing gear. Given such a lightly built frame for such a high payload, it is also worth checking for cracks or sagging at the load-bearing longitudinal members, and whether the suspension still carries the load evenly across all axles. Given such a light build, it is also worth checking the frame's welds for fatigue cracks. The wear indicators on the brake linings should also be checked, since they tend to wear down quickly on this type of semi-trailer.
