At a length of 14,250 mm, a width of 2,520 mm and a wheelbase of 9,550 mm, the C15588 has an unladen weight of 27,960 kg; against the gross weight of 32,000 kg that leaves a payload of 4,040 kg. The high unladen weight relative to payload points to a construction that already accounts for much of the permitted weight itself, for instance through a reinforced frame or fixed body rather than an open load area.
In class O4, a multi-axle compressed-air brake system is mandatory, and towing requires a category CE licence. How much the trailer can actually carry depends, beyond gross weight, on nose weight and coupling type, which determine the right towing vehicle.
When buying such an old and heavy trailer, check especially for corrosion on the frame, cross-members and drawbar, the condition of axles and wheel bearings, the function and tightness of the compressed-air brake system, and the state of tyres and rims. The load-securing anchor points are equally important. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
