Broshuis 2ABD-PL

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 11,060 to 20,000 kg and gross weight ratings from 46,500 to 52,800 kg. Recorded lengths range from 7,600 to 7,700 mm, widths from 2,550 to 2,980 mm.

At gross weights up to 52.8 tonnes and widths close to 3 m, the 2ABD-PL range counts among the heavy special-transport semi-trailers used to carry construction machinery, industrial plant and other bulky heavy loads in European heavy haulage, which frequently requires a special permit. The comparatively short length at such high gross weight points to a compact, multi-axle build with correspondingly high axle loads.

On a used example, check the frame and chassis rails for cracks and deformation, the condition of the multi-axle units and air suspension, the kingpin and wear plates of the mounting surface, and the brake system with its connections. On the wider versions, also check axle alignment, and on versions with self-loading ramps the condition of the ramps and loading rails; parts for axles and brake components come from the European commercial-vehicle parts trade.
