The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 4,580 to 7,940 kg, gross weights from 30,000 to 45,000 kg, lengths from 8,830 to 13,530 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.

With gross weights up to 45,000 kg, these semi-trailers fall into EU trailer category O4 with mandatory air brakes; journeys above 40 tonnes require an exceptional permit in most European countries. The tow vehicle required is a tractor unit with licence category CE. At the fifth wheel, the kingpin transmits part of the semi-trailer's weight directly onto the tractor's drive axle, so wear on the kingpin and fifth-wheel plate degrades the steering precision of the whole combination.

With gross weights up to 45 tonnes and lengths of over 13.5 metres, these semi-trailers belong to the heavy class for general road haulage and heavy transport, run across Europe behind tractor units of various makes.

On a used purchase, the condition of the axles and brake system, wear on the king pin and fifth-wheel plate, cracks in the frame, the tyres and twin wheels, and the load deck or body all matter. Spare parts run through the general semi-trailer trade.
