Talson Other models

The register lists here 45 versions with unladen weights from 5,440 to 16,270 kg, gross weights from 20,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 9,920 to 14,040 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm – dimensions that place the trailers in vehicle class O4 (over 10 t) and match the European articulated-lorry limit of roughly 40 to 44 tonnes combined weight.

Semi-trailers of this size are standard equipment in European long-haul transport and vehicle transport, where Talson holds a smaller position specialising in special bodies alongside the big series makers such as Schmitz Cargobull, Krone and Kögel.

When buying used, what matters is the condition and rust of the chassis, especially the kingpin and coupling plate, the function of the air suspension and brake system (EBS), the condition of the tyres and electrical connectors, and on vehicle-transport trailers also the hydraulics and tread surfaces of the loading ramps; a valid roadworthiness inspection is basic equipment. Spares for chassis and axles usually run through common commercial-vehicle suppliers such as BPW or SAF.
