Kuiper Other models

The register lists here 26 versions with unladen weights from 3,250 to 25,040 kg, gross vehicle weights from 10,900 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 7,650 to 13,980 mm and widths from 2,350 to 2,550 mm.

With lengths of nearly 14 metres and gross weights up to 39 tonnes, the Kuiper versions belong to the heavy segment of low-loaders and semi-trailers for construction-machinery and heavy-goods transport, a field where numerous specialist suppliers serve the European market alongside large international makers; demand comes chiefly from earthmoving, plant hire and equipment transport.

When buying used, on these heavy versions what counts most is the condition of the frame and load bed for cracks and deformation, the function of the axles, steering axles and braking system, and corrosion on load-bearing parts; on semi-trailers also the condition of the kingpin mount and the ramps or loading rails. Spare parts for axles and the braking system are available through the heavy-trailer specialist trade.
