Fynkar K324T – heavy EU class O4 trailer on a three-axle group: 24,000 kg gross weight, 18,440 kg payload, built in 2017.
With a gross weight of 24,000 kg, the Fynkar K324T falls well within EU trailer class O4, above the 10-tonne threshold for heavy trailers. Built in 2017, it is one of the newer vehicles in its weight class in the register.

With an unladen weight of 5,560 kg, payload comes to 18,440 kg, more than three-quarters of the gross weight. The trailer runs on twelve wheels, meaning a three-axle group; the axles within that group sit around 2.76 m apart, much closer together than the vehicle's overall wheelbase. At 9.40 m long and 2.55 m wide, this points to a compact but heavy chassis for dense loads.
As a three-axle O4 trailer, the K324T runs with air brakes and usually with air suspension on the axle group, as is common on heavy trailers to spread axle load evenly. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category CE in the EU, depending on the combined train weight.
When buying a three-axle heavy-duty trailer, check the axle load distribution when loaded, the air suspension bellows for cracks and leaks, and the brake drums or discs for even wear across all three axles. Also check the frame around the axle group for fatigue cracks from the concentrated load, the tyres for even wear within the closely spaced axle group, and the coupling and electrical connectors for secure, corrosion-free contact.
