Broshuis 6ABSD-85

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 18,000 to 25,280 kg at a gross weight of 79,000 to 89,000 kg and widths from 2,750 to 2,980 mm. This range, too, falls entirely into vehicle class O4, with a gross weight far above 10 t.

Trailers in this weight class carry very heavy, indivisible loads such as construction machinery, cranes or industrial plant and run on six or more axles, often combined with leading or trailing modules. Broshuis supplies such modular heavy-duty low-loaders to haulage firms specialising in abnormal loads; road transport at these weights regularly requires a special permit from the relevant authority. Alongside Broshuis, makers such as Nooteboom and Faymonville count among the well-known European suppliers of heavy-duty low-loaders, with whom the company shares the market for abnormal-load transport.

Buying used at this class, the points that matter are the condition and tightness of the steering and ramp hydraulics, wear on the numerous axles and tyres, the function of the braking system, and cracks in the chassis. Maintenance and spare parts run through the Broshuis dealer network; with so many axles, it is also worth closely checking the steering electronics and their service history.
