At a gross weight of 34,500 kg, an unladen weight of 7,900 kg and a payload of 26,600 kg, a length of 13.75 m, a width of 2.55 m and a wheelbase of 9.02 m on three axles, the length exceeds the roughly 13.6 m standard length usual in many EU states for a single semi-trailer.

With a gross weight well above 10,000 kg the trailer falls into EU class O4 with air brakes. Because its length exceeds the common standard length, operating it requires a separate permit or classification as abnormal-length transport depending on the state of registration; the three axles with a 9.02 m wheelbase spread the high payload over the full length of the vehicle.

Buying a semi-trailer this long means checking the frame for deflection along its full length, since long constructions are subject to stronger bending cycles under changing loads than short ones. Equally important is checking all three axles for even running and the documentation for any permit required for the excess length. Uneven tyre wear on the rearmost of the three axles is common on long semi-trailers and points to a steering-axle or suspension fault that is worth pricing into any offer.
