Wecon Other models

The register lists here 31 versions with unladen weights from 2,560 to 8,180 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,000 to 36,000 kg, lengths from 8,500 to 13,900 mm and widths from 2,410 to 2,600 mm.

With gross vehicle weights up to 36 tonnes and lengths up to almost 14 m, these vehicles belong among the heavy semi-trailers for long-haul and special transport; the range's span covers different bodies for goods haulage and serves hauliers and transport firms that rely on sturdy, low-maintenance semi-trailers for cross-border traffic.

As class O4 semi-trailers, the Wecon types need an air brake system with air suspension and driving licence category CE for towing; the connection to the tractor unit runs through a fifth-wheel coupling and kingpin. Rear and side underrun guards are a legal requirement on semi-trailers of this size and serve to protect smaller vehicles in a collision.

When buying a used semi-trailer of this size, what matters is the condition of frame and kingpin, the condition and tread depth of the tyres, the function of the braking system and air suspension, the condition of the underrun guard and landing legs, and rust on load-bearing components; parts such as axles, brake components and suspension elements are available through the general commercial-vehicle trade.
