Fsn SP8/7.2E – heavy EU class O4 trailer, right at the O3/O4 boundary: 10,700 kg gross weight, 7,900 kg payload, 7.45 m length, built in 1995.
With a gross weight of 10,700 kg, the Fsn SP8/7.2E sits just above the 10-tonne threshold in EU trailer class O4. Vehicles of this size sit at the boundary between the medium-weight O3 trailers and the heavy semi-trailers and trailers of long-haul transport.

With an unladen weight of 2,800 kg, payload comes to 7,900 kg, almost three-quarters of the gross weight. At 7.45 m long, 2.52 m wide and with a 4.35 m wheelbase, the SP8/7.2E is a comparatively compact vehicle for its weight class, built for dense, concentrated loads rather than bulky volume goods.
From class O3 upwards, trailers are generally fitted with air brakes rather than the simple overrun brake of light trailers; the SP8/7.2E falls just into the next class up, O4. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category C1E or CE in the EU, depending on the combined train weight.
When buying a 30-year-old, compact heavy-duty trailer, check the axles and brakes for wear and play, check the air lines for leaks at the coupling heads, and look for rust on the frame, especially at the axle mounts. Given the high payload for such a short length, it is also worth checking the frame for deformation caused by concentrated heavy loads, and inspecting the wiring and lighting for age-related brittleness in the insulation.
