At a length of 11,060 mm, a width of 2,550 mm and a wheelbase of 7,860 mm, the S342 has an unladen weight of 12,500 kg; against the gross weight of 42,000 kg that leaves a payload of 29,500 kg. It runs on 6 wheels. The low share of unladen weight in the payload points to an open or lightweight load area rather than a heavy enclosed body.
In class O4, a multi-axle compressed-air brake system is standard, and towing requires a category CE licence. With a payload of this size, nose weight and coupling type determine which towing vehicle is actually suitable, and the distribution of axle loads governs how the load may be placed. The choice of correct tyre and rim size likewise follows from the axle load rather than from the overall length of the vehicle.
When buying used, check the condition of axles and wheel bearings, the tightness and function of the compressed-air brake system across all axles, corrosion on the frame, and the state of tyres and rims. With such a high payload it is also worth checking for visible frame deformation from past overloading. Two examples of this type are registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
