Petz PER 60: an EU class O3 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 6,200 kg, an unladen weight of 5,900 kg and only around 300 kg of payload, built in 2001
With a gross vehicle weight of 6,200 kg, the Petz PER 60 falls into EU trailer class O3, the range between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. Trailers in this class need their own, usually air-operated brake system and are mostly used behind lorries and lighter towing vehicles in commercial transport.

The 2001 PER 60 has an unladen weight of 5,900 kg and, at a gross vehicle weight of 6,200 kg, only around 300 kg of payload, well below what the class as a whole allows. At 8,650 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, this points to an already heavy body that takes on only a small additional load. Such a small margin above its own weight suggests a purpose-built body rather than a general-purpose load carrier.
For trailers between 3.5 and 10 tonnes of gross vehicle weight, EU rules require a dedicated brake system, usually air-operated, since a simple overrun brake is generally no longer sufficient for this class. Such a trailer is towed by a vehicle that brings enough braking power and permitted trailer weight for the combined train weight.
On a trailer of this age, check the frame and axle mountings for through-corrosion first, and the welds for cracks. The brake system and brake lines need a tightness check, and the tyres should be judged on ageing rather than tread depth alone. Incomplete lighting or a damaged underrun guard regularly lead to rejection at the roadworthiness test.

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.
