Laresko 2VOVML 12-20 – O4-class semi-trailer with 32,000 kg gross weight, 9,320 kg unladen weight, 13,800 mm length and 9,140 mm wheelbase for long-haul transport.
Long-haul semi-trailers are typically long, mostly multi-axle bodies that rest on the tractor unit's fifth wheel via a kingpin, transferring part of their weight directly to the tractor. They form the numerically largest segment of heavy trailer vehicles in European road freight, carrying everything from palletised goods to machinery loads.

The 2VOVML 12-20 carries a gross weight of 32,000 kg. Against an unladen weight of 9,320 kg that leaves a payload of 22,680 kg. Over a body length of 13,800 mm and a width of 2,600 mm, that load sits on a 9,140 mm wheelbase, a ratio of axle spread to overall length typical of a long, multi-axle semi-trailer.
At 32,000 kg gross weight the 2VOVML 12-20 falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. Towing it requires driving licence category CE, a tractor unit with a matching fifth wheel, and an air brake system, standard for this class.
When buying a used semi-trailer of this size, the long chassis deserves particular attention: sagging and cracking appear first midway between the axles and around the kingpin area. Axle suspension, the brake system and even wear across all tyres should be checked carefully given the high payload, along with the air line seals along the full length of the trailer. Uneven tyre wear on one side often points to a bent axle.
