The register lists here 11 versions with unladen weights from 6,000 to 11,000 kg, gross weights from 30,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 12,000 to 14,040 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.

Trailers of this weight class are the working tool of long-haul haulage and freight forwarding: they run behind tractor units carrying general cargo, part loads, building materials or swap bodies, moved for decades in shift operation, which is why wear on the running gear and brakes is correspondingly high.

On a used example, the condition of axles, brakes (ABS/EBS function) and kingpin, rust and cracks on the frame and landing legs, the state of the tarpaulin or sideboards and the tyre tread depth all count; spare parts for axles and brakes usually run through brand-independent suppliers such as BPW or SAF. Also worth checking are the coupling head, wheel chocks, tyre age and whether the chassis number matches the registration documents.
