At a length of 9,684 mm and a width of 2,500 mm, it already weighs 17,270 kg unladen and can carry only 9,730 kg more, just over a third of its gross weight. Such a high unladen weight at a comparatively short length points to a massively built special trailer, in which the structure itself accounts for a significant share of the gross weight, rather than a light design aimed at maximum payload.

Trailers of this weight class run with an air-brake system, and towing the combination requires a category CE licence. A high unladen weight at a comparatively short length is common on trailers for heavy, compact loads such as construction machinery or steel parts, where the load platform itself must be reinforced and low.

What counts on a used example is the condition of the axle suspension and brake system under the high axle load, cracks in the frame around the axle mounts, the state of the load platform and its lashing points, the tightness of the air suspension, and the tread depth and load capacity of the tyres, which are already heavily stressed unladen given this self-weight. Given the heavy build for its length, it is also worth confirming that the chassis has not been reinforced or repaired in a way that affects its original type approval.
