Sackmann SPV 12 – EU class O3 trailer with a 6,040 kg gross weight and an unusually long 14 metre body for its weight class
With a gross weight of 6,040 kg the SPV 12 falls into EU trailer class O3, the band between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. Trailers in this class run air brakes and are pulled by medium-duty tractor units, often for long but light loads that need floor space rather than high mass.

The body is an unusually long 14 m for this gross weight and 2.55 m wide. Unladen weight is 4,450 kg, leaving a payload of 1,590 kg – low relative to the length, pointing to a light but spacious structure. The 7.65 m wheelbase spreads the weight over the full vehicle base.
Class O3 requires an air-brake system with its own supply line from the towing vehicle, backed up by a mechanical parking brake. The ratio of great length to moderate weight is typical of haulage trailers with light but far-spread cargo, such as vehicles, boats or equipment. Tractor unit and trailer must be joined by a coupling rated for the axle load, with a matching nose weight.
Given the body's length, buyers should particularly check the chassis for sagging and twisting along its full extent, and the brake system including lines and actuators. The body should be checked for distortion, corrosion and the condition of the side panels, the tyres for even wear. Lighting, the electrical connection to the tractor unit and a current roadworthiness certificate are also worth checking.
