Bunge Other models

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 2,900 to 33,900 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 40,500 kg, lengths from 7,370 to 13,800 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.

With gross weights up to 40.5 tonnes, the heaviest versions fall into vehicle class O4, while the lightest version, at just under 3 tonnes unladen and 18 tonnes gross, lies well below; the range thus spans from a medium-weight to a full-scale semi-trailer for general freight transport. Such variation in length, weight and type designation within one range is typical of model programmes grown over many years.

Buying used, the condition of the kingpin and landing legs, the brake system, axles and tyres, and the chassis and body for corrosion and distortion matter; given the wide span of unladen weights within the same range, a careful check of the type plate against the actual equipment is worthwhile. On the lighter versions, it is also worth checking whether parts were added later that changed the original unladen weight.
