Serrus Other models

The register lists here 9 versions with unladen weights from 5,260 to 11,520 kg and gross weights from 20,000 to 50,000 kg. Most models carry lengths from 13,950 to 15,520 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm – dimensions typical of three-axle semi-trailers and heavy trailers.

Trailers and semi-trailers of this weight class serve heavy transport in construction, agriculture and recycling, where tipper bodies and sturdy chassis run in continuous use. The letter-and-number type logic follows the pattern of short technical codes common in the Netherlands. Buyers from construction and recycling firms tend to favour sturdy, repair-friendly chassis over pure weight saving.

Buying used, tipper models call for checking the hydraulic ram, tipping body and seals, all models for rust on the frame and chassis rails, the condition of axles, brakes and the overrun brake device, and tyres and lighting. Parts for axles, brakes and couplings run through the general commercial-trailer parts trade. A service book and inspection history give additional insight into maintenance condition and accident-free use.
