At a length of 11,750 mm, a width of 2,550 mm and a wheelbase of 7,250 mm, the GTL24/3AB has an unladen weight of 16,840 kg; against the gross weight of 36,500 kg that leaves a payload of 19,660 kg. A payload share of more than half the gross weight points to a design built for dense, heavy loads rather than bulky, light goods.
In class O4, a multi-axle compressed-air brake system is mandatory, and towing requires a category CE licence. For a trailer of this age, it is also worth noting that older vehicles are regularly retrofitted or checked against currently applicable inspection rules, for instance for the braking system.
When buying a trailer more than four decades old, check especially for corrosion on the frame and suspension, 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 given the high payload, and the condition of the drawbar and its mounting should also be checked closely. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
