Omavalmiste PV 3500 – home-built EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 7,680 mm length, 2,550 mm width and an 850 kg unladen weight
Omavalmiste is not a manufacturer's brand in the Finnish vehicle register but the term for a home-built vehicle with no series producer; the name PV 3500 therefore comes from the builder or registrant rather than a factory. With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the trailer falls into EU class O2, the upper segment of trailers fitted with an overrun brake, running up to 3.5 tonnes.

At 7,680 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, the PV 3500 has an unladen weight of 850 kg, giving a payload of around 2,650 kg. Such unusual length for the class combined with a low unladen weight points to a light, open build, the kind used for carrying bulky but not especially heavy loads.
Class O2 trailers can already be towed on a category B licence in many countries, provided the combined train weight stays under the local limit there. The overrun brake works purely mechanically, through the thrust generated as the towing vehicle brakes, with no power supply of its own, which makes servicing and inspection simpler than with an air brake system.
For a home-built trailer of this kind, it is worth inspecting the welds of the hand-built chassis closely, checking unprotected sections for rust, and examining the overrun coupling together with the brake linkage. The tyres, sized for this length of build, and the completeness of the lighting system also deserve a careful look, since amateur builds often have outstanding work in exactly these spots.

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.
