Broos – other models: EU class O2 trailers with a gross weight of 1,300 to 3,500 kg, unladen weights of 520 to 2,140 kg, widths of 2.15 to 2.46 m
This page gathers the Broos trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The models fall into EU vehicle class O2 for trailers with a gross weight of 750 kg to 3.5 t; the designations range from simple number codes to named versions such as VS1335. For a buyer, what matters on this collective page above all is that the spans given reflect the values actually captured in the register.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 520 to 2,140 kg, gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,150 to 2,460 mm.
Above 750 kg, an overrun brake is required throughout for this class; below that threshold, a trailer could also be driven unbraked. Towing only needs licence category B as long as the combination's gross weight stays below 3,500 kg, otherwise category BE becomes necessary.
Trailers of this class are used as transport, tipping and special-body trailers; the comparatively high unladen weight of some models points to a reinforced frame or a permanently fitted body rather than a plain platform version. The versions listed on this page show the range in which the maker operates outside its named model ranges.
On used trailers, axle and brake condition, rust on the frame and load bed, the overrun brake device, lighting and the tightness of permanently fitted bodies count; parts for axles and couplings are, in this class, generally available across manufacturers.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
