The register lists here 4 versions with unladen weights from 5,450 to 30,340 kg, gross weights from 19,000 to 33,000 kg, lengths from 9,720 to 13,760 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,550 mm.

With gross weights up to 33 tonnes, the semi-trailers fall into vehicle class O4; on the heaviest version, the unladen weight of over 30 tonnes lies close to the gross weight, pointing to a particularly sturdy body built for heavy payloads such as construction machinery or compact metal goods. On the lighter versions, at around 5.5 tonnes unladen, considerably more payload remains for bulkier freight.

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; on versions with little payload reserve, the condition of the suspension and the load capacity of the individual axles are also worth checking. Given such varied unladen weights within the same collective page, comparing the actual weight on a weighbridge with the registration document details is also worthwhile.
