Bmi Trailers Other models

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 13,500 to 15,130 kg, gross weights from 36,000 to 41,000 kg, lengths from 12,950 to 13,600 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.

Tipping and ejector semi-trailers of this weight class have to carry air brakes; the tow vehicle required is a tractor unit with licence category CE. On tipping semi-trailers, the centre of gravity shifts sharply backwards and upwards as the body is raised, which is why level, load-bearing ground matters more when tipping than on semi-trailers with a fixed deck.

Tipping and ejector semi-trailers of this weight class carry bulk material, construction waste and rubbish and run behind tractor units in British and Irish waste and building-material haulage; walking-floor technology pushes the load out over a moving floor instead of a tipping body. The versions listed on this page show the range in which the maker operates outside its named model ranges.

On used semi-trailers, the condition of the walking floor or tipping body and their hydraulics, the braking system and axles, rust on the frame and underrun guard and the fifth-wheel coupling count; parts run through BMI Trailers in Dungannon.
