Rootselaar – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, 3A3S and SPY, 13,340 to 14,780 kg unladen weight, 41,000 to 44,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Rootselaar trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. Listed here are the 3A3S and the SPY, two heavy semi-trailers whose short codes appear in the register without further detail.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 13,340 to 14,780 kg, gross weights from 41,000 to 44,000 kg, lengths from 11,610 to 13,100 mm and a width of 2,520 mm.
With gross weights of 41 to 44 tonnes, both versions fall into the upper heavy-duty segment of semi-trailers needed for bulk goods, construction machinery or heavy transport in long-haul traffic. Lengths of up to 13.1 metres and a uniform width of 2.52 metres match the frame of long, three-axle semi-trailers. Such semi-trailers typically operate in swap traffic between several tractor units in long-haul transport. Buyers pay particular attention to axle load rating and the condition of the frame.
On a used example of such a heavy semi-trailer, the condition and wear of the axles and brakes, the function of the air suspension, rust on the frame and kingpin, and the state of tyres and rims all count. The electrics and lighting should be checked for completeness and function, and parts for such brands usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops.
