Danson Aps Dk 3-AKSLET 30 T – EU class O4 trailer: 30,000 kg gross vehicle weight, 5,060 kg unladen weight, 6 wheels, built 2008
With a gross vehicle weight of 30,000 kg, the Danson 3-AKSLET 30 T falls into EU trailer class O4, the group of heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes operated in heavy haulage with their own air brake system. Vehicles like this run on several axles so the high gross weight spreads across permitted axle loads.

The 3-AKSLET 30 T was built in 2008 and has an unladen weight of 5,060 kg; against a gross vehicle weight of 30,000 kg, that leaves a payload of 24,940 kg. It runs on 6 wheels at a width of 2,550 mm.
With roughly one-sixth unladen weight to five-sixths payload, the 3-AKSLET 30 T is built for high loads at a comparatively low weight of its own, as seen on simple platform or tipping semi-trailers for bulk goods. The air brake has to work evenly on every axle so the combination comes to a safe stop at full load.
When buying used, an air-braked trailer in this weight class lives or dies on the brake system: check lines, brake cylinders and linings on every axle for corrosion, leaks and wear. Inspect the chassis and frame for rust and cracks, along with axle bearings, suspension mounts, tyres and tread depth, lighting and the coupling to the towing vehicle. With a build year of 2008, also check the condition of the axle suspension and its mounting points after many years of heavy-haulage service.
