Burg BPO12-27

The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 5,210 to 8,790 kg, a uniform gross weight of 39,000 kg, lengths from 11,360 to 13,880 mm and widths from 2,440 to 2,550 mm.

With a uniform gross weight of 39 tonnes and lengths up to nearly 14 m, the BPO12-27 belongs among the heavy standard semi-trailers for road haulage; the unladen weight varying from 5.2 to 8.8 tonnes at a constant gross weight gives, depending on the version, a payload range of roughly 30 to 34 tonnes.

On a used purchase, the condition of axles, brakes and chassis, wear on the overrun brake system and the kingpin housing, the tightness and condition of the body, and rust on load-bearing parts count; on versions with a long service life, checking the inspection history of the brake system is additionally worthwhile. Comparing tyre and wheel condition is also worthwhile, since the variants can carry different wheel track widths.
