At a length of 7,750 mm, a width of 2,380 mm and a wheelbase of 5,350 mm, the LS 162 has an unladen weight of 2,140 kg; against the gross weight of 6,200 kg that leaves a payload of 4,060 kg. It is rated for 100 km/h. For a single model of this size, the ratio of unladen weight to payload shows how much the design is built around the load rather than its own structure.
From class O3 upward, regulations require a compressed-air braking system, controlled from the towing vehicle. Because the gross weight exceeds 3,500 kg, towing needs at least a category C1E licence, or CE at the upper end of this class. Which towing vehicle actually fits depends, besides the gross weight, on the nose weight at the coupling and the type of coupling itself; together they set the practical limit for the load carried.
When buying used, check the condition of axles and wheel bearings, the function of the braking system, corrosion on the frame and drawbar, and the state of lighting, the electrical connector, tyres and rims. Equally important are the load-securing anchor points and even wear of the brake linings across all axles. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
