Gsh Other models

The register lists 3 versions with a kerb weight of 5,360 to 7,910 kg and a permissible gross weight of 20,000 to 38,000 kg. Lengths range from 8.95 to 10.10 m, widths from 2.50 to 2.55 m.

With gross weights of up to 38 tonnes, the GSH trailers belong to the heavy semi-trailer class used together with matching tractor units for hauling goods and materials. The compact lengths of around 9 to 10 m combined with high payload point to sturdy short semi-trailers. In permissible gross weight, the difference between the lightest and heaviest of the three versions is nearly twofold, pointing to different axle counts within the series.

When buying used in this weight class, the condition of the frame, side members and welds matters most, as they are heavily stressed under high payload. The brake system, axles and kingpin plate should be checked carefully, along with the condition and tightness of the bodywork. Spare parts for axles and brake components are available through the general commercial-vehicle accessories trade. On the fifth-wheel coupling, also check wear on the kingpin itself and on the coupling plate.
