Vandborg T3240: heavy EU class O4 trailer with a 24,000 kg gross weight, just 5,180 kg unladen weight and around 18,820 kg payload for dense, compact loads
With a gross vehicle weight of 24,000 kg, this trailer from Vandborg falls into EU trailer class O4, the category of heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes fitted as standard with an air brake system. Registration requires a number plate and a recurring technical inspection of the chassis, axles and braking system.

The T3240 has an unladen weight of 5,180 kg, giving a payload of around 18,820 kg at full gross weight, a high ratio of payload to such a light structure. At a length of 9,490 mm and a width of 2,530 mm, the deck footprint stays within the road dimensions permitted without a special permit.
Trailers of this weight class and build carry dense, compact loads such as steel, stone or construction machinery, where a small deck area carries a large weight. The towing vehicle requires driving licence category CE, and the air brake system acts on every axle, checked separately at each roadworthiness inspection.
When buying used, check the chassis around the axle mounts and the deck for deformation and cracks, since such a high payload on a light structure leaves marks where loads are transferred. Brake pads, drums or discs and the air-line hoses should be inspected along with tyre condition and the working order of the lashing points. The air-line connector heads, the load-sensing brake valve and the suspension on every axle also belong on the pre-purchase checklist.
