Sbm Euromix 400C – EU class O4 trailer with a 40,000 kg gross weight and a concrete mixing-plant body for use on the building site
With a gross weight of 40,000 kg the Euromix 400C falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers above 10 tonnes. The model name points to a mixing plant, used to produce concrete or similar construction mixes directly on site.

Unladen weight is 39,120 kg, just 880 kg below the gross weight. That small margin is typical of vehicles where the mounted mixing equipment itself forms part of the vehicle's mass, leaving almost no room for extra material on the chassis. Building material for such plants is usually delivered separately and mixed only at the plant, rather than carried as cargo.
Class O4 requires an air-brake system with its own supply line from the towing vehicle, spread across several axles at this high a gross weight. For a mobile mixing plant, the stability during mixing operation and the separate technical approval of the plant itself, independent of the vehicle registration, also matter. Tractor unit and trailer must be joined by a coupling rated for this high axle load.
Buyers should check the mixing drum or mixing plant for wear, tightness and proper function of the drive and dosing technology, as well as the chassis, every axle and the brake system including lines and actuators. Supply and discharge lines for water and aggregate should be checked for leaks. A current roadworthiness certificate for both the chassis and the mixing plant is also worth checking.
