With an unladen weight of 1,600 kg, that leaves a payload of 5,400 kg. The dimensions are 10,830 mm in length and 2,460 mm in width. The wheelbase is 7,500 mm. The trailer runs on 6 wheels.
Fifth-wheel or drawbar load and the design of the coupling decide which tractor unit suits a trailer like this. That places the trailer, in commercial use, between light car trailers and heavy semi-trailers.
On a viewing, the brake cylinders, lines and the air system's tightness are among the first points to check. Lighting, wiring harness and plug connectors are common weak points on older trailers. Tyres and rims should be checked for age and even wear, especially if the trailer has stood unused for a while. On bodies with tarpaulins or side boards, the condition often only shows up on close inspection for leaks and deformation. Paperwork and the validity of the roadworthiness test belong to every viewing. The brake system and brake lines deserve particular attention, as this is an area often neglected in everyday use.
