The Ra Pe VT-3500 is a car trailer from Ra Pe (EU vehicle class O2), registered as built in 2008. It is 8,020 mm long and 2,515 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 Ra Pe VT-3500 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 8 car trailers from Ra Pe with a stated length, the Ra Pe VT-3500 at 8,020 mm is among the longest (rank 1); the range runs from 5,345 to 8,020 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists 2 units – one of the brand's most common models.
Ra-Pe – other models: collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, AT, ATU, GEO, UKJ, UPT and VT series, 660 to 1,170 kg unladen weight, a constant 3.5 t gross weight
This page gathers the Ra-Pe trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The AT, ATU, GEO, UKJ, UPT and VT series each carry the suffix 3500 or 35, denoting the permissible gross weight class in kilograms; only the type AT-350 departs from this scheme in its code.

The register lists here 8 versions with unladen weights from 660 to 1,170 kg, a uniformly constant gross weight of 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,345 to 8,020 mm and widths from 2,050 to 2,560 mm.
With a uniform gross weight of 3.5 tonnes, the whole programme sits at the boundary of category O2, the classic field of braked tandem-axle trailers for transport, machinery and material haulage, which drivers with a regular category B licence can still tow in many countries. The uniform weight class points to a narrow model programme tailored to a single market segment, without outliers above or below. The solid, repeatedly duplicated construction of this class also makes it easier to compare offers from different sellers.
Buying used in this class, frame and axles matter most: corrosion on side members and axle mounts, the condition of the brakes and overrun system, tyre tread and the tightness of the load floor and side panels deserve inspection, together with registration papers. Parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the open trailer parts trade.

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.
