The most common sizes of truck body I've come across on rigid vehicles, 7.5t-12',  16t- 21 or 24' (Four wheelers),  26t-28'-30' (6 and 8 wheelers)

    Artic trailers most common size bed length is 33'-  40'-  and 45'. Sorry it's all in feet but I'm sure it wont take you long to convert it to metric. (I'm old)

    If you are going to couple the trailer to a truck, either a four or six wheeler, you have to remember the maximum length for a vehicle allowed on the roads in your area or country. Here I think the maximum combined length is 58 feet or thereabouts.

If you are in any way confused about the sizes, contact me again and let me know in more detail what you have in mind.
