Klaus SAL 2,4: an EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 6.22 m length and a tandem axle group spread over 4.95 m
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the SAL 2,4 falls into EU trailer class O2, the typical size for trailers behind cars and light commercial vehicles between 750 kg and 3.5 tonnes. At 6.22 m long it is a comparatively elongated build for its weight class, pointing to bulky rather than heavy loads.

At a kerb weight of 1,450 kg, the payload works out to 2,050 kg, more than the trailer's own weight. The four wheels are spread across a tandem axle group with a 4.95 m spacing, almost as long as the overall build itself – the two axles sit far apart rather than close together, spreading the load along the whole length instead of concentrating it at one point. The width is 2.28 m.
Despite the tandem axle group, the SAL 2,4 stays in class O2 and so almost always runs on an overrun brake rather than an air system. Widely spaced axles like these are typical of long platform or stake bodies used for building components, pipes or agricultural equipment, and improve tipping stability with long loads.
When buying used, the two widely separated axle mounting points on the frame deserve particular attention, since torsion over the long span can crack the welds. The condition of the overrun mechanism, brake cables and the leaf springs on both axles, which carry uneven loads when the trailer is loaded unevenly, are equally worth checking.

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.
