Ebert DAT24000 – heavy EU category O4 trailer with a 30,000 kg gross weight, 6,950 kg unladen weight, 23,050 kg payload, 13.50 m length and a 10.22 m axle spread
At a gross weight of 30,000 kg, the DAT24000 belongs to EU trailer category O4, the heavy trailers above 10 tonnes towed in freight transport behind suitably rated tractor units. Trailers in this category carry compressed-air brake systems with multi-axle brake distribution.

At an unladen weight of 6,950 kg, the payload comes to 23,050 kg. At 13.50 m the DAT24000 counts among the longer trailers in its category, and the 10.22 m axle spread takes up most of that length, pointing to an axle arrangement that carries load across almost the full length of the vehicle. At 2.75 m width, the DAT24000 exceeds the general 2.55 m envelope for road vehicles, which is not unusual for heavy special-purpose trailers in this weight class.
Towing combinations in this weight class require a category CE licence. The load-dependent brake adapts braking deceleration to the loading state, and with such a long axle spread the axle load is spread more evenly along the vehicle than on shorter trailers of the same weight class.
When buying used, because of the long axle spread the axle bearings, the suspension trailing arms and the frame in the mid-section deserve particular attention, along with checking the air lines for leaks along their full length, the side marker lights across the long body, and the tyres for even wear across all axles.
