Plandex PTL-1800: an EU class O4 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 19,000 kg, an unladen weight of 5,200 kg, a length of 10,200 mm and a 7,800 mm wheelbase, registered 2016 to 2021
With a gross vehicle weight of 19,000 kg, the Plandex PTL-1800 counts among the heavy trailers of EU class O4, above 10 tonnes. This class covers the upper end of road freight, from low-loaders for machinery transport to tippers and flatbed semi-trailers for bulk and building materials.

Registered between 2016 and 2021, the PTL-1800 has an unladen weight of 5,200 kg and, at a gross vehicle weight of 19,000 kg, reaches a payload of 13,800 kg. At 10,200 mm long, 2,550 mm wide, with a 7,800 mm wheelbase and eight wheels, it is built for a high ratio of payload to its own weight, as needed for curtain-sided or box bodies carrying light, bulky goods. Such a configuration suits curtain-sided or box bodies moving light, bulky freight across longer distances.
Because EU rules no longer permit an overrun brake above 10 tonnes of gross vehicle weight, a trailer of this class runs with an air brake system. The combination of towing vehicle and trailer must be matched to their combined train weight, driven with a category CE licence.
Before buying a trailer this old, check the frame for through-corrosion, above all at the axle mountings and tow coupling. The brake system and tyres age independently of mileage; standing damage and rubber age matter more here than tread. Lighting and the underrun guard must be complete, or the test centre will refuse the certificate.
