The Majava M 8542 J 2 AKS is a car trailer from Majava (EU vehicle class O2), built from 2005 to 2006. It is 5,725 mm long and 2,345 mm wide, weighs 660 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 3,500 kg.
Subtracting the unladen weight from the permitted gross weight leaves the Majava M 8542 J 2 AKS with a payload of 2,840 kg. More than half of the gross weight is therefore available for cargo.
For the driving licence this means: category B allows combinations up to 3,500 kg, code 96 up to 4,250 kg permitted total mass. With a 3,500 kg trailer too little would remain for the towing vehicle even with code 96 – in practice a BE licence is needed, which covers trailers up to 3,500 kg. Being over 750 kg, the trailer must be braked, and the towing vehicle needs a braked towing capacity of at least 3,500 kg.
Among the 25 car trailers from Majava with a stated length, the Majava M 8542 J 2 AKS at 5,725 mm is among the shortest (rank 22); the range runs from 4,000 to 10,516 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists 2 units.
Majava – other models: the collective page for Finnish utility trailers outside the named ranges, the AKS code marking axle count, 420 to 1,760 kg unladen weight, up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight
This page brings together the trailers of the Finnish brand Majava that the register could not assign to a named range. In type designations such as M 210-500 J 2 AKS or VT 230-750 J 2 AKS 2000, the AKS code marks the number of axles: 2 AKS denotes twin-axle versions, 3 AKS three-axle ones. Alongside these the register also lists models with simpler names such as TA3500 and VT3500.

The register lists 22 versions here with unladen weights from 420 to 1,760 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,000 to 10,516 mm and widths from 1,980 to 2,600 mm.
The AKS system lets buyers read the axle count, and so the rough payload class, straight off the type designation, which makes it easier for Finnish farming and forestry operations to pick a trailer for the job at hand. The wide length range, from 4 to just over 10.5 metres, shows that both compact trailers and long transport platforms for machinery or long loads are sold under the brand.
When buying used, check the axles and wheel bearings, on the three-axle and larger versions particularly the function of steering or self-tracking axles, the condition of the frame and load platform, the coupling, and the brake system. On the long platform versions it is also worth checking the frame's torsional stiffness and the condition of the load tie-down points.

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.
