Jtf Trailers Other models

The register lists here 16 versions with unladen weights from 3,280 to 10,560 kg and gross weights from 34,000 to 61,000 kg. Lengths range from 6,500 to 12,870 mm, widths from 2,460 to 2,500 mm.

With gross weights throughout above 34 tonnes the whole line-up sits in the heavy class O4 – axle modules and dolly combinations of the kind used to transport construction machinery, prefabricated elements and other bulky, heavy loads. Such special trailers are usually built in small numbers for individual hauliers or rental firms and supplement the ranges of the large heavy-haulage trailer makers in the register.

On used trailers of this kind, the condition and play of the axles and steering axles, the brake system across the whole combination, coupling points and locks between the modules, and cracks in the frame and semi-trailer brackets particularly count. Spares for axle modules are usually supplied by workshops specialising in heavy transport. Checking tyres and rims for load capacity, the condition of the locks and lashing points and comparing the axle loads with the vehicle papers are added to this.
