It has an unladen weight of 12,840 kg, giving a payload of around 98,160 kg at full gross weight. At a length of 18,550 mm and a width of 3,150 mm, it clearly exceeds the 2.55 m width permitted on public roads without a special permit, placing it in the abnormal-load category that requires a permit.

Trailers of this size carry single, indivisible loads such as transformers, wind-turbine components or construction-machinery parts that cannot be split across several journeys. Journeys at this width require a special permit under the relevant national rules for abnormal and heavy loads, often with escort vehicles and route checks. Spare parts for brake drums or discs, suspension components and lighting are available through the general parts trade for this vehicle class, independent of the original manufacturer.

When buying used, the main chassis and axle assemblies deserve particular attention, since at this weight class any deformation is a safety issue. The checklist should include the air brake system with all lines and valves, tyre condition, and any steered axles, hydraulic or mechanical, fitted to the trailer. Checking the lashing points for wear and cracking is equally important.
