Bor EB 1 – EU class O4 trailer: 10,650 kg gross vehicle weight, 4,260 kg unladen weight, 8.30 m long, 2,460 mm wide, built 1968
With a gross vehicle weight of 10,650 kg, the Bor EB 1 falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes hauled in long-distance haulage with their own air brake system, whether behind a tractor unit or as a drawbar trailer. Vehicles of this size spread their weight across several axles and need a load-bearing chassis.

The Bor EB 1 was built in 1968 and has an unladen weight of 4,260 kg; against a gross vehicle weight of 10,650 kg, that leaves a payload of 6,390 kg. Overall length is 8,300 mm, width 2,460 mm. The wheelbase is 6,400 mm. The permitted top speed is 100 km/h.
Trailers and semi-trailers in this weight class carry the actual load volume in road haulage, while the towing vehicle supplies only drive and steering. For the air brake to work at full effect, lines, brake cylinders and linings all have to work together without fault; without an intact brake coupling between towing vehicle and trailer, the combination may not be driven. The ratio of unladen weight to payload is within the usual range for this class.
When buying used, an air-braked trailer of this size lives or dies on the brake system: check lines, brake cylinders and linings for corrosion, leaks and wear. Inspect the chassis and frame for rust and cracks, along with axle bearings, suspension, tyres and tread depth, lighting, and the coupling to the towing vehicle. With a build year of 1968, budget for a limited spare-parts supply for brakes and axles too.
