At a length of 9,750 mm and a width of 2,550 mm, the empty chassis weighs just 5,000 kg, leaving a payload of 32,000 kg – more than six times its own weight. This combination of a light chassis and high load capacity is typical of flatbed and low-loader trailers built to carry construction machinery, steel or bulk material. The 8,150 mm wheelbase spreads the axle load along the full length. The trailer was registered in 2007.
Trailers in this class run on air brakes on all axles and need a towing vehicle with a sufficiently high permitted trailer load and a matching compressed-air supply. The low unladen weight combined with a high permitted payload calls for a sturdy yet light frame construction, needed for economical transport of heavy goods.
When buying used, the condition of the frame matters most: on a light chassis with a high permitted payload, overload damage first shows up as cracks in the longitudinal beams and axle mounts. Equally important are the brake drums or discs, the tightness of the air lines, and the condition of the load bed, which is heavily stressed by frequent contact with construction machinery and bulk material.
