Kit Manufacturing Road Ranger: a light EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 860 kg kerb weight and a tandem axle group
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the Road Ranger sits in EU trailer class O2, the band between 750 kg and 3.5 tonnes that covers the great majority of privately and commercially used light trailers. Trailers in this class are towed behind cars, estates and light commercial vehicles and are built for easy handling rather than industrial-scale loads.

At a kerb weight of 860 kg, the payload works out to 2,640 kg, over three times the trailer's own weight. The four wheels sit as a tandem axle group with an axle spacing of 870 mm, a close, typical figure for two-axle light trailers that keeps the axle group compact and manoeuvrable. The 2.40 m width matches the frame usual for this class.
Class O2 trailers almost always run on an overrun brake: when the towing vehicle brakes, the trailer pushes forward onto the coupling, which automatically applies the trailer's own brake. The tandem axle group spreads the load across two axles, giving better driving stability than a single-axle trailer at the same gross weight.
When buying used, the overrun mechanism itself is worth checking: play in the linkage, the condition of the brake cables and how freely the pulleys move all show whether the brake still works reliably. On the tandem axle group, check the wheel bearings, leaf springs and the mounting points on the frame for rust, since the closely spaced axle group is exposed to high alternating loads in service.

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.
