The DJPSANL dates from 2002 and has an unladen weight of 10,700 kg; against the gross weight of 31,000 kg that leaves a payload of 20,300 kg. Length is 13,100 mm, width 2,550 mm and wheelbase 8,900 mm. The ratio of unladen weight to payload is typical for this class and points to a versatile body that can carry both palletised goods and bulkier freight without exceeding its axle loads.
In class O4, a multi-axle compressed-air brake system is mandatory; the overrun brake of the lighter classes is not sufficient above 10 tonnes. Towing requires driving licence category CE, and the towing vehicle's permitted towed mass must be rated for the gross weight of 31 tonnes.
When buying used, the brake system matters most: check lines, brake cylinders and linings on all axles for corrosion, leaks and wear. Chassis and frame should be checked for corrosion and cracks, as should axle bearings, suspension, tyres with their tread depth, lighting and the coupling to the towing vehicle. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands; with a 2002 build date, it is also worth checking spare-parts availability and the general condition of wiring after two decades of service.
