Jansen System DA RH 50 – EU category O4 heavy-load trailer: 50,000 kg gross weight, 41,220 kg payload, 13.69 m length, built 2019.
With a gross weight of 50,000 kg, the Jansen System DA RH 50 sits well above the 10-tonne threshold of the EU trailer category O4, in the segment of heavy-load trailers for carrying large single loads. Trailers of this size work in commercial heavy haulage and often carry construction machinery or plant components.

With an unladen weight of 8,780 kg, the payload comes to 41,220 kg, more than four times its own weight, a ratio that points to a very lightweight frame construction combined with correspondingly high load capacity, typical of low-loader designs. At 13.69 m long and 2.52 m wide, the DA RH 50 is a long trailer within its class.
Heavy-load trailers of this size run an air brake system across several axle groups. Towing in a combination requires licence category CE in the EU. The light frame construction combined with high payload is typical of low-loaders, whose low deck height makes it easier to load tall or bulky machinery without exceeding the combination's overall height.
When buying such a lightly built heavy-load trailer, the frame deserves especially careful checking for twisting and cracking, since the low unladen weight points to a thin-walled construction working under heavy load. The checklist should also cover the axle groups for even wheel-load distribution under load, the brake system for even action, and the deck for wear from the machinery it carries.
