Cuppers LVO

The register lists here 9 versions with unladen weights from 2,960 to 13,660 kg, gross weights from 8,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 8,150 to 14,050 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,600 mm.

The range therefore covers both the class of medium-duty trailers up to 10 tonnes and heavy semi-trailers over 10 tonnes; the wide weight span within a single type designation points to a modular programme in which axle count and chassis length are matched to the desired capacity. The heavier types from LVO 12-18 with gross weights from 18 to 27 tonnes form the most densely populated group within the range.

On a used purchase, on the lighter LVO types the condition of the axles and the towing gear count, on the heavy semi-trailers additionally the kingpin housing and chassis torsion, and on all versions the brake system, the load area or side boards, and rust on load-bearing parts. On the lighter models, tyre and lighting condition are also worth checking, on the heavy ones wear on the brake linings.
