Jpm Trailers Centre Axle Three Axle: a three-axle centre-axle trailer in EU class O4 with a 27,000 kg gross weight and a 22,260 kg payload
The model name Centre Axle Three Axle already describes the design: a centre-axle trailer whose axles sit in the middle of the body rather than spread front and rear, built here with three axles. With a gross weight of 27,000 kg, it falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers above 10 tonnes.

Empty, the trailer weighs 4,740 kg, against a permitted gross weight of 27,000 kg, giving a payload of 22,260 kg. At 9,990 mm long and 2,540 mm wide, it offers a long, load-rated deck on three centrally placed axles.
The central axle layout carries the load mainly through the axles themselves, while the drawbar nose weight stays low - unlike a semi-trailer, which passes much of its load to the tractor unit through the fifth-wheel coupling. From class O3 upward, a compressed-air braking system is mandatory, here spread across three axles, and driving such a combination requires a category CE licence in most EU states.
Buying a used three-axle centre-axle trailer, even wheel loading matters most: a warped frame or unevenly worn axles show up as one-sided tyre wear across the group. The braking system on all three axles should engage evenly, and the drawbar and its pivot should be free of play and cracks. The tow hitch and its locking mechanism are worth a close check too, since they carry the full pulling force of a loaded three-axle unit.
