Louis Broel SKM-4M: EU class O2 trailer with a permissible gross weight of 3,500 kg, unladen weight of 3,250 kg and payload of 250 kg at 6,040 mm length and 2,440 mm width
At a permissible gross weight of 3,500 kg, the SKM-4M from Louis Broel belongs to EU trailer class O2, the bracket up to 3,500 kg in which trailers are usually fitted with an overrun brake and towed behind cars or light commercial vehicles. Trailers of this size are mostly car trailers used for transport, removals or small machinery, easy to hitch and unhitch without special equipment.

At a length of 6,040 mm and a width of 2,440 mm, the trailer has an unladen weight of 3,250 kg; against the permissible 3,500 kg that leaves a payload of 250 kg. The wheelbase between the outermost axles is 4,060 mm. It runs on 4 wheels.
Trailers in this class are usually fitted with an overrun brake rather than air brakes under EU rules. Towing with a car regularly requires driving licence category BE, since the combined weight of tow vehicle and a fully loaded trailer exceeds the limit for category B. Lighting and number-plate illumination must carry EU type approval, and a fixed drawbar with a jockey wheel are standard equipment in this class.
A used-trailer check should focus on the overrun brake: it must engage and release smoothly, with no corrosion in the coupling head. Add to that tyre condition, since rubber perishes with age even at low mileage, play in the wheel bearings, the condition of the deck and frame, and a valid roadworthiness inspection. The check should also cover the jockey wheel and breakaway cable, the mounting of the number plate and reflectors, and a chassis number plate matching the documents.

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.
