Skt 3500 Hydro: light tipper trailer, built 2024, gross weight 3,500 kg, EU category O2, high payload for a low unladen weight
The model designation 3500 Hydro points to two features at once: a gross weight of 3,500 kg at the upper limit of EU category O2, and a hydraulically operated function, common in tipper trailers for raising the load bed.

At a length of 4,800 mm and a width of 2,530 mm, the trailer, built in 2024, weighs only 965 kg unladen. Its payload of 2,535 kg thus makes up more than 70 percent of the gross weight, a high share for a trailer this size, achieved by a design built for low own weight and for bulk materials.
Category O2 trailers run with overrun brakes rather than an air brake system. In many European countries a trailer of this weight class can be towed with a category B driving licence, provided the combined gross weight of towing vehicle and trailer stays within the locally applicable limit. A hydraulic tipping function additionally requires an electrical connection on the towing vehicle for the pump and controls.
Buying a tipper trailer used, the hydraulics come first: the cylinder for leaks, the hoses for chafing, and the pump for its behaviour on start-up. With a low unladen weight and a high payload, the load bed itself is also worth checking, for sagging in the floor and for the side panels, which carry the greatest load with bulk materials. The tipping hinges at the rear also wear faster on a light trailer used often, so play there is worth checking alongside the hydraulics.

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.
