The register lists here 20 versions with unladen weights from 5,280 to 15,250 kg and gross weights from 20,000 to 50,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,310 to 13,940 mm, widths from 2,520 to 2,575 mm.

With gross weights throughout above 20 tonnes the whole line-up sits in the heavy class O4 – long, wide trailers of the kind used to transport construction machinery, containers and other heavy, bulky 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, the brake system, cracks in the frame and ramps and, where fitted, hydraulic cylinders and lines particularly count. Spares 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.
