Teknocar T2GP47: compact heavy-haulage EU class O4 trailer with a 47,000 kg gross weight, 8,550 mm length, 6,100 kg unladen weight and 40,900 kg payload
The T2GP47 belongs to the group of heavy, compactly built trailers for road freight. With a gross weight of 47,000 kg the vehicle sits in EU trailer class O4, well above the 10-tonne threshold for heavy trailers. Such a high weight class combined with a short overall length is typical of trailers built to carry heavy, dense cargo over short distances, such as bulk material or massive individual parts.

Empty, the trailer weighs 6,100 kg and is rated to run at a gross weight of up to 47,000 kg, giving a payload of 40,900 kg. At only 8,550 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, this makes for a compact unit with an unusually high payload share relative to its own size, a trait seen in tank semi-trailers and heavy-haulage trailers.
As an O4-class vehicle, the T2GP47 carries a dual-line compressed-air braking system, mandatory from class O3 upward. The combination of short length and high gross weight makes the trailer suited to concentrated, heavy cargo, while long-distance runs with light, bulky freight are rather atypical for this build.
When buying one secondhand, the frame and axle suspension deserve particular attention, since the high payload carried over a short length concentrates stress into narrower peaks at the axles. The air braking system should be checked for airtight lines and coupling heads, and tyres and rims for even wear, since a short wheelbase can load individual axles unevenly.
