Built in 1986, the model carries a payload of around 13,320 kg against an unladen weight of 5,040 kg. At 10,070 mm long, 2,500 mm wide and with a 7,500 mm wheelbase, the build is suited to long, bulky loads typical of building-material and machinery haulage rather than high volumes of light goods.
Class O4 trailers generally run on air brakes fed from the towing vehicle's coupling line. Towing requires a category CE licence in most European countries. The long wheelbase against a comparatively narrow width points to a classic flatbed or platform trailer rather than a box body.
Buying a used trailer of this age, check the main chassis members and cross braces for cracks and corrosion, along with the axle suspension and wheel bearings for play. The air brake system, including lines, brake cylinders and coupling heads, should be tested for leaks, and the load bed deserves a look at wear and structural soundness after decades of use. Given the model's age, replacement parts for the axle assembly and brake valves are worth sourcing from a specialist rather than assuming factory support.
