Broshuis 2AA-5 – EU class O3 trailer: 8,000 kg gross vehicle weight, 2,680 kg unladen weight, 3,200 mm wheelbase, 2,200 mm wide, built 1958
With a gross vehicle weight of 8,000 kg, the Broshuis 2AA-5 falls into EU trailer class O3, the medium-weight trailers between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. This class, too, is required by law to carry its own air brake system, because the simple overrun brake used on lighter classes no longer works reliably at this weight.

The Broshuis 2AA-5 was built in 1958 and has an unladen weight of 2,680 kg; against a gross vehicle weight of 8,000 kg, that leaves a payload of 5,320 kg. Width is 2,200 mm. The wheelbase is 3,200 mm. The permitted top speed is 100 km/h.
Trailers in this weight class are used in commercial haulage and by larger operations that need more payload than a simple car trailer but not yet a full articulated combination. The air brake needs an intact connection to the towing vehicle's brake system and regularly maintained lines, cylinders and linings. The ratio of unladen weight to payload is within the usual range for this class.
When buying used, an air-braked trailer of this size lives or dies on the brake system: check lines, brake cylinders and linings for corrosion, leaks and wear. Inspect the frame and body for rust and cracks, along with axle bearings, suspension, tyres and tread depth, and lighting. With a build year of 1958, budget for a limited spare-parts supply for brakes and axles too.

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.
