Hs Trailer Other models

The register lists 6 versions here with kerb weights from 2,440 to 9,240 kg and gross vehicle weights from 18,000 to 52,000 kg. Lengths range from 5,400 to 18,030 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm – a wide span typical of heavy-haulage combinations.

Such trailers are common in Finnish timber, construction and heavy haulage, where long combinations of dolly and semi-trailer plus multi-axle trailers behind class N3 trucks make full use of the gross weights allowed on the Nordic road network; Finnish roads permit higher gross weights for such combinations than most central European countries.

When buying used, check the condition of axles, brake system and air suspension, rust on the chassis and coupling points, the tightness of the hydraulics, plus wear on tyres and brake linings; on dolly units also check the condition of the drawbar eye and the fifth-wheel coupling, and on all versions the function of the ABS and EBS brake electronics.
