Maxey Trailers CARHAULER: O2-class car-hauler trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 1,225 kg unladen weight, 7,500 mm length and a tandem axle set
The Maxey Trailers CARHAULER reaches exactly the upper limit of EU trailer category O2 with a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the band for braked car trailers up to 3.5 tonnes. Trailers in this class are usually fitted with an overrun brake rather than their own compressed-air system.

At 7,500 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, the trailer weighs 1,225 kg unladen, leaving 2,275 kg of payload up to the permitted gross weight. The four wheels sit on two axles with an axle spacing of around 850 mm within the tandem group – a measure of the distance between the two axles, not the overall wheelbase of the trailer. That gives a payload share of around 65 percent of the gross weight.
The car-hauler layout relies on a long, flat load bed with loading ramps, the arrangement needed to carry a single car or small vehicle. Towing a braked O2 trailer up to 3.5 tonnes only requires licence category BE, provided the combined weight of towing vehicle and trailer does not exceed 4,250 kg. The coupling on a trailer like this is usually the European 50 mm ball-head to ISO 1103, regardless of the specific towing vehicle.
Buying a used car hauler means checking the load bed for warping, rust around the ramp mounts and the load capacity of the deck boards. Also check the overrun brake for smooth operation, the lighting and the tyres, which reach their full load capacity when a vehicle is loaded. After a test drive it is also worth checking that the wheel nuts are properly torqued and inspecting the tyre tread depth.

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.
