Peterson 5700-C: an EU class O4 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 37,000 kg, an unladen weight of 35,060 kg and only around 1,940 kg of payload, built in 2012
With a gross vehicle weight of 37,000 kg, the Peterson 5700-C counts among the heavy trailers of EU class O4, above 10 tonnes. This class covers the upper end of road freight, from low-loaders for machinery transport to tippers and flatbed semi-trailers for bulk and building materials.

The 2012 5700-C has an unladen weight of 35,060 kg and, at a gross vehicle weight of 37,000 kg, only around 1,940 kg of payload. Such a small margin between unladen and gross weight is typical of heavy special-purpose bodies whose own construction already accounts for most of the permitted weight, as with low-loaders for compact, very heavy loads. Only a small margin then remains for payload.
At this weight class, the brake system works on compressed air rather than an overrun mechanism, as EU rules require above 10 tonnes of gross vehicle weight. Towing such a trailer behind a suitable towing vehicle requires a category CE licence, and both vehicles must be compatible in their braking systems.
On a vehicle of this age, it is worth looking closely at the axles, suspension and brake system, since wear shows up there first. The frame should be free of through-corrosion, especially at welds and axle mountings. Tyres age through standing time regardless of tread, and lighting and the underrun guard must be complete for the roadworthiness test.

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.
