The Majava M 8535 J LJ is a car trailer from Majava (EU vehicle class O2), built from 1998 to 2001. It is 4,875 mm long and 2,300 mm wide, weighs 300 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 1,300 kg.
Payload for the Majava M 8535 J LJ, i.e. permitted gross weight minus unladen weight, is 1,000 kg. More than half of the gross weight is therefore available for cargo.
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 2,200 kg. Code 96 on a B licence raises the limit to 4,250 kg (towing vehicle up to 2,950 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 1,300 kg.
Among the 337 car trailers from Majava with a stated length, the Majava M 8535 J LJ at 4,875 mm is among the shortest (rank 274); the range runs from 2,600 to 11,750 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists 3 units.
Majava trailers up to 3.5 t – class O2: Finnish trailers in the register, type codes such as M 200-500 J 2 AKS, weights from 170 to 1,860 kg
Majava is a Finnish trailer maker; the brand name is the Finnish word for beaver. Model names in the register often follow the pattern of the letter M followed by two numbers for the width and length of the body plus a code such as J 2 AKS or LJ for the axle and drawbar version, for example M 200-500 J 2 AKS. In the O2 vehicle class – trailers with a gross weight of 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes – the range covers a wide span from small to large transport trailers.

The register lists 434 versions with unladen weights from 170 to 1,860 kg and gross weights from 850 to 3,475 kg. Lengths are recorded for 343 models and range from 2,600 to 11,750 mm, widths from 1,410 to 2,600 mm.
As a Finnish manufacturer, Majava is geared to the requirements of the Nordic market, with trailers for private and commercial transport of boats, machinery and vehicles, built to cope with gravel roads, snow load and long winters. The wide range of registered body widths and lengths reflects a catalogue built largely to order, with the axle and drawbar code marking each configuration rather than a handful of fixed standard sizes.
When buying used, check the condition of the floor and frame for rust, the overrun brake mechanism with its linkage, axles and suspension, the electrics and lighting, and tyre age. On the long versions over 10 metres, it is also worth checking the frame for twist and the load tie-down points.
