Broshuis 3AOU-48

The register lists here 8 versions with unladen weights from 8,340 to 14,980 kg at a gross weight of 45,000 to 60,000 kg, a length of around 13,720 mm and a constant width of 2,550 mm. With a gross weight consistently above 10 t, the whole range falls into vehicle class O4.

Low-loaders of this size carry construction machinery, agricultural machinery and other self-propelled or indivisible loads on a lowered deck that keeps tall goods within the permitted overall height. Broshuis is among the well-known European makers in this segment and supplies haulage firms working in heavy transport; the range's varying axle counts allow it to be matched to different axle-load limits in different markets.

Buying used at this class, the points that matter are the condition of the ramps and ramp hydraulics, wear on the axles and steering axles, the function of the braking system, and cracks or corrosion on the chassis. The tightness of the hydraulic cylinders and the validity of the periodic roadworthiness test should also be checked; spare parts and service run through the Broshuis dealer network.
