Sdc Trailers Limited Other models

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 5,690 to 28,000 kg, permissible gross weights from 33,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 8,960 to 14,040 mm and a constant width of 2,550 mm.

With gross weights up to 42 tonnes the programme sits entirely in the semi-trailer class above 10 tonnes, as used in European long-haul transport for general road freight, from general cargo to palletised goods. Buyers here are mainly haulage firms, construction and recycling operations, and rental fleets that rely on standardised axles and brake components from European suppliers.

Buying used, what counts is the condition of the kingpin and landing legs, the brake system and brake discs, axle alignment and bearings, and corrosion on the frame; spares for the standard axles run through the European commercial-vehicle accessory trade, also for the two- and three-axle versions. It is also worth checking the condition of the ABS or EBS electronics, the tightness of the wiring harnesses, and the lubrication and wear of the fifth wheel or axle stub ends.
