Chieftrailer – other models: EU class O4 semi-trailers with gross weights of 25,000 to 45,000 kg, lengths of 8.4 to 12.35 m, unladen weights of 3,700 to 9,160 kg
This page gathers the semi-trailers of Chieftrailer the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations 1AFCST00, 1AFCST08 and 3AFCRT08 follow a uniform alphanumeric code, with the digits at the front and the two-digit suffix marking variants within the same range; all versions fall into EU vehicle class O4 for trailers over 10 t gross weight. As class O4 vehicles they run air brakes and require ABS or EBS; they are towed by a tractor unit, for which the driver needs a category CE licence, and the kingpin, 2 inches or, on very heavy versions, 3.5 inches in diameter, transfers the fifth-wheel load onto the coupling.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 3,700 to 9,160 kg, gross weights from 25,000 to 45,000 kg, lengths from 8,400 to 12,350 mm and widths of 2,550 mm.
With a span of 25 to 45 t gross weight, the range runs from lighter to very heavy semi-trailers for heavy and special transport behind correspondingly rated tractor units; the difference in length between the shortest and longest version, 8.4 against 12.35 m, points to distinct body types within the same collective page.
On used semi-trailers, frame and axle condition, the braking system, tyres and the fifth-wheel coupling, rust on the chassis rails and underrun guard, and the tightness of the sides and deck count; parts run through Chieftrailer and the usual trailer suppliers. Multi-axle chassis often use steered or liftable axles, which reduce tyre wear on bends and need regular checks of play and hydraulic tightness; as trailers in this weight class they are also subject to recurring roadworthiness testing.
