Fxkögel T 24 – heavy EU class O4 trailer, compact for its weight: 30,000 kg gross weight, 23,400 kg payload, 9.25 m length, built in 1971.
With a gross weight of 30,000 kg, the Fxkögel T 24 falls well within EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. Built in 1971, it is one of the older vehicles in its weight class in the register.

With an unladen weight of 6,600 kg, payload comes to 23,400 kg, more than three-quarters of the gross weight. At 9.25 m long and 2.50 m wide, the T 24 is comparatively short for its high gross weight, pointing to a compact heavy-duty trailer for dense, concentrated loads rather than a long volume vehicle.
Class O4 trailers run with air brakes. For a vehicle from the early 1970s, that means noticeably simpler brake technology than today's O4 trailers, without ABS and without electronic brake-force control, but with robust, mechanically serviceable equipment. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category CE in the EU.
For a heavy-duty trailer more than 50 years old, the frame construction takes centre stage: check the longitudinal beams and cross members for rust-through, especially at welds and axle mounts. Check axle bearings, brake linkage and brake drums for wear, and check the lighting system for up-to-date retrofitting. Given the high payload for such a short length, it is also worth checking for deformation caused by concentrated heavy loads.
