The T.E.C. TD 6 WELTBUMMLER 490 TR is a caravan from T.E.C. (EU vehicle class O2), built from 1991 to 1994. It weighs 846 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 1,170 kg.
The T.E.C. TD 6 WELTBUMMLER 490 TR offers a payload of 324 kg – the gap between unladen and permitted gross weight. For a caravan this covers everything that travels along: gas bottles, awning, water, crockery and luggage; retrofitted equipment such as a motor mover or air conditioning reduces the margin further.
Under EU licensing rules, a category B licence allows a combination of towing vehicle and this trailer up to 3,500 kg permitted total mass – so the towing vehicle may weigh at most 2,330 kg. Code 96 on a B licence raises the limit to 4,250 kg (towing vehicle up to 3,080 kg); beyond that a BE licence is required. Being over 750 kg, the trailer must be braked, and the towing vehicle needs a braked towing capacity of at least 1,170 kg.
T.E.C. trailers up to 3.5 t (Class O2) – box trailers with KING/TOUR/TRAVEL equipment lines for travel use: 406 versions, unladen weights 532 to 1,790 kg, gross weights 800 to 2,500 kg
Class O2 groups together, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight from 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes. T.E.C. can only be identified in the register through its model names; these mostly follow a pattern of a three-digit number and a letter code such as T, TK, TN or P1, supplemented by equipment lines such as KING, TOUR and TRAVEL as well as the name "WELTBUMMLER" (German for globetrotter) – designations pointing to box trailers for holiday and leisure luggage rather than pure load trailers. The register provides no manufacturer details on location or founding.

The register lists 406 versions with unladen weights from 532 to 1,790 kg and permissible gross weights from 800 to 2,500 kg. Lengths are recorded for 87 of the 406 vehicles and range from 5,350 to 9,150 mm, width for all 406 versions from 2,000 to 2,700 mm.
With an unladen weight consistently above 500 kg and a relatively narrow gross-weight span up to 2.5 tonnes, the T.E.C. range is clearly geared towards closed box trailers, heavier than open flatbed trailers, of the kind used for holiday and club luggage, trade-fair needs or small stock storage.
For a used box trailer of this type, check the function and adjustment of the overrun device including the handbrake, the condition of the brake linings, rubber torsion axles for cracks and settling behaviour, the tightness of the roof and body walls, and frame and floor corrosion. A functioning lighting system and tyre age regardless of tread depth belong on the checklist just as much as the condition of door hinges and seals on the box bodies.

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.
