Geser GFB 185K – heavy EU class O4 trailer with balanced proportions: 18,000 kg gross weight, 13,270 kg payload, 8.45 m length, built in 2009.
With a gross weight of 18,000 kg, the Geser GFB 185K falls well within EU trailer class O4, above the 10-tonne threshold for heavy trailers. Its proportions are unremarkable for the class, without any single dimension standing out from the others.

With an unladen weight of 4,730 kg, payload comes to 13,270 kg, almost three-quarters of the gross weight. At 8.45 m long, 2.60 m wide and with a 5.00 m wheelbase, the GFB 185K sits on a chassis with proportions typical of its weight class, built for a balanced ratio of unladen weight to payload.
Class O4 trailers are generally fitted with air brakes. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category C1E or CE in the EU, depending on the combined train weight, plus a professional driver qualification for commercial long-haul work. Built in 2009, the GFB 185K has already-established, mature brake technology, without the newest electronic assistance systems of the latest trailer generations.
When buying a trailer built in 2009, check the axles and brakes for wear and play, check the air lines for leaks at the coupling heads, and look for rust on the frame, especially at the axle mounts. Also check the load floor for wear from changing goods, the lighting system for completeness and function, and the brake system's connecting lines for brittle spots near the coupling.
