The 1 SAL 6.5 was built in 2017, is 8,050 mm long, 2,400 mm wide and has a wheelbase of 5,000 mm; it runs on four wheels. It has an unladen weight of 2,610 kg, which against a gross vehicle weight of 5,000 kg leaves a payload of 2,390 kg. Its top speed is limited to 90 km/h.
With four wheels on two axles and a wheelbase of 5,000 mm against an overall length of just 8,050 mm, the 1 SAL 6.5 carries its load compactly between the axles rather than on long overhangs, making it more manoeuvrable than longer trailers of its weight class. Its 90 km/h speed limit sits below the usual 100 km/h for trailers and affects the permitted speed of the whole combination.
When buying used, this trailer's air brake system is the main focus: check lines, brake cylinders and linings on both axles for corrosion, leaks and wear. Inspect the frame and axle bearings for cracks and rust, along with the suspension, tyres and tread depth, lighting and the coupling to the towing vehicle. With a build year of 2017, the vehicle is usually still in good condition, but service records are still worth checking.
