Arrow CI-2221 – single model: heavy trailer from the Dutch vehicle register, built 1967, 23,790 kg gross weight, 2,915 kg unladen weight, 6.45 m length
The CI-2221 was built in 1967 and registered in the Dutch vehicle register. At almost 24 tonnes gross weight against only around 2.9 tonnes unladen weight, and a comparatively short length of 6.45 m, it belongs to the class of compact heavy-duty trailers built for very dense, short loads.

The CI-2221 is rated at 23,790 kg gross weight and 2,915 kg unladen weight, with a length of 6.45 m, a width of 2,470 mm and a wheelbase of 4.57 m. This combination gives a payload of over 20 tonnes on a comparatively small footprint.
Under EU vehicle classification, a trailer of this weight falls into category O4, far above the 10-tonne threshold, and runs on air brakes rather than the simple overrun brake of lighter trailers. An ordinary car is out of the question as a tow vehicle; a trailer of this class is towed by a heavy goods tractor unit with a category CE licence.
Buying a trailer this heavy, and this old, second-hand, the condition of the frame and axles for cracks and deformation matters, along with the function of the air-brake system including lines and valves, and the tread depth and age of the tyres. Given the 1967 build year, it is also worth closely checking load-bearing parts for corrosion and any earlier frame repairs that might have affected its strength, along with the condition of the coupling to the tow vehicle.
