Sport O Med SOM (2004): a three-axle trailer with a gross weight of only 3,500 kg, a width of 2.55 m and six wheels, where the narrow spacing lies inside the triple-axle group.
The SOM trailer from Sport O Med was registered in 2004. With three axles and at the same time a gross weight of only 3,500 kg, this is an unusual but deliberate design for the class: three axles instead of two spread the same load over more wheels, lowering the load on each axle and tyre.

At a gross weight of 3,500 kg, an unladen weight of 1,740 kg and a payload of 1,760 kg, a width of 2.55 m and six wheels on three axles, the stated spacing of 531 mm sits within one axle group: a wheelbase for the whole trailer cannot be this figure at three axles and this size, it instead describes the tight spacing within the triple-axle group.
Despite three axles the SOM stays in EU class O2 at 3,500 kg. The third axle here does not serve to raise the permitted gross weight, but rather load distribution and driving stability, for instance when crossing soft ground or ramps with a limited axle load, where a narrow footprint per axle matters.
Buying a used three-axle trailer of this kind means checking that all three axles compress evenly under load: if one axle sits noticeably higher or lower than the other two, that points to damaged or worn suspension. Equally important is checking the tight axle spacings for stone-chip and grounding damage, since the limited clearance between the axles leaves them particularly exposed.

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.
