Tauras Other models

An unladen weight of 900 kg leaves a payload of 2,600 kg against the 3,500 kg gross weight. The small gap between axles within the axle group points to closely set axles, as used on triple-axle units to spread the load evenly on soft or uneven ground. At 2.06 metres wide, the TAURA 3513 is narrower than most trailers in its class.

Triple-axle O2 trailers spread the load over more contact points than single- or twin-axle trailers and suit terrain or cargo where an even spread of pressure matters, for instance livestock trailers or trailers for agricultural and forestry equipment. In most EU countries an O2 trailer can be towed on a category B licence. Livestock trailers and trailers for agricultural or forestry equipment commonly use this three-axle layout across the EU.

On a triple-axle trailer, check that all three axles track evenly: uneven tyre wear points to a bent frame or worn bearings. Also check the overrun brake, the brake linings on all axles, and the welds around the closely set axle mounts for cracking caused by the concentrated load.
