Indicative Dimensions 

Indicative Chamber Dimensions

 

  • Length: 13.30 - 13.41 meters
  • Width: 2.46 - 2.48 meters
  • Height: 2.60 - 2.65 meters (interior - slightly less than tarpaulin trailers due to insulation)
  • Capacity: ~88 m³ (approximately 33 Euro-pallets)

Indicative Dimensions of Mega Trailer

 

  • Length: 13.60 meters
  • Width: 2.47 - 2.48 meters
  • Height: 3.00 meters (internal usable height - for higher volume)
  • Capacity: ~100 m³ 

Indicative Dimensions Standard Semi-Trailer (Standard Tautliner/Curtainside)


  • Length: 13.60 - 13.62 meters
  • Width: 2.45 - 2.50 meters (external), 2.48 m (internal)
  • Height: 2.50 - 2.70 meters (internal usable)
  • Capacity: ~90-92 m³ (approximately 33-34 Euro-pallets)

Indicative Dimensions of Special Semi-Trailers


  • Length: The total length of the combination (tractor unit + semi-trailer) can exceed 16.5–20+ meters.
  • Width: The standard width is 2.55 meters, but for special transports (overweight/oversized) it can reach or exceed 3–4 meters.
  • Height (from the ground): In low-loader semi-trailers, the platform height is very low (often below 1 meter) to allow the transport of tall machinery.

Basic Restrictions (European Standards)

    • The European standards for semi-trailers are mainly defined by Directive 96/53/EC (and its subsequent amendments), which sets the maximum permissible dimensions and weights for circulation within the EU. Turnitin +11. Maximum Dimensions
      • Total Vehicle Length: For articulated vehicles (tractor unit + semi-trailer), the limit is 16.50 metres.
      • Width: The maximum width is 2.55 metres, with the exception of thermally insulated bodies (refrigerated vehicles), where up to 2.60 metres is allowed.
      • Height: Although there is no strictly uniform limit across the EU (many member states have their own limits), the typical maximum height for unrestricted circulation is 4.00 metres. Turnitin +1
      2. Weights and Axles
      • Maximum Weight (MAMFO): For a combination with 5 or 6 axles, the upper limit is usually 40 tonnes (or 44 tonnes for combined transport).
      • Axle Load: The drive axle must not exceed 11.5 tonnes.
      3. Technical Specifications
      • Turning Radius (Circle): The vehicle must be able to fit within a ring with an outer radius of 12.50 metres and an inner radius of 5.30 metres.
      • Safety Systems: The presence of EBS braking systems and stability control systems in accordance with EU standards is mandatory.
