The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 1,200 to 1,540 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,350 to 4,560 mm and widths from 1,610 to 1,680 mm.

With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the trailers fall into vehicle class O2 and are used behind a tractor or light commercial vehicle on the farm; vacuum tankers draw in slurry or liquid manure via a vacuum pump and spread it through a trailing hose or injector, the tipper version additionally carries solid manure or excavated soil. Such compact vacuum tankers are especially common on smaller and medium-sized farms, where a light, manoeuvrable trailer eases fieldwork.

Buying used, the tightness of the tank, dome cover and lines, the condition of the vacuum pump and its connections, and internal corrosion from the aggressive slurry matter on vacuum tankers; on the axle and drawbar, the brake system, bearings and tyres need checking, and on the tipper version additionally the tipping ram and load bed. Since slurry is highly corrosive, checking the tank-floor welds from both outside and inside is especially worthwhile on older tankers.
