The register lists exactly one model for Baoer Peter, the ATU 4 403, from 1995. With a gross weight of 24,000 kg it lies well above 10 tonnes and falls into class O4, the heaviest category of the EU trailer classification, used in heavy-haulage and construction-site transport behind articulated tractors or heavy trucks.

At a length of 10,400 mm and a width of 2,530 mm, the ATU 4 403 has an unladen weight of 9,100 kg; against the gross weight of 24,000 kg that leaves a payload of 14,900 kg. 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.
In class O4, a compressed-air brake system across several axles is standard, and towing requires a category CE licence. How much the trailer can actually carry depends not only on gross weight but also on nose weight and coupling type, which determine the right towing vehicle.
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 Finland, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
