Saris trailers up to 3.5 t (Class O2) – the Dutch trailer builder with ALU/C/F type series for flatbed, box and boat transport: 346 versions, unladen weights 183 to 2,400 kg, gross weights up to 3.5 t

Class O2 groups together, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight from 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes. Saris is a Dutch trailer manufacturer with a broad range that can be read in the register from letter codes such as ALU (light-alloy versions), C (box trailers, for example C1350 to C3500) and F (open flatbed trailers), each followed by a number that visibly denotes the weight or size class. The register occasionally also lists model names of other brands, such as Biilmann, which may point to past acquisitions or cooperation, though this cannot be clarified in detail.

The register lists 346 versions with unladen weights from 183 to 2,400 kg and permissible gross weights from 819 to 3,500 kg. Lengths are recorded for 136 of the 346 vehicles and range from 2,650 to 8,590 mm, width for all 346 versions from 1,470 to 2,560 mm.

With over 340 versions and an unladen weight starting at under 200 kg, Saris is among the more broadly positioned trailer manufacturers in the register, whose range spans from small, handcart-like single-axle units to larger box and boat-transport trailers – a full assortment typical of the Dutch market.

For a used trailer of this type, check the function and adjustment of the overrun device including the handbrake, the condition of the brake linings, rubber torsion axles for cracks and settling behaviour, frame and floor corrosion, and a functioning lighting system. For the light-alloy versions (ALU), also check for corrosion at rivet joints, for closed box trailers the tightness of the body walls, plus tyre age regardless of 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.
