Stolpe Essern BT-1: an EU class O2 trailer from 2010 with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 8.78 m length and six wheels on a 6,800 mm wheelbase
The BT-1 from Stolpe Essern is a trailer built in 2010. With a gross weight of 3,500 kg it falls into EU trailer class O2, the group of trailers between 750 and 3,500 kg that usually run on overrun brakes behind cars and light vans. At 8.78 metres long, the BT-1 is one of the longer examples in this class, built for bulky rather than heavy loads.

An unladen weight of 780 kg leaves a payload of 2,720 kg against the 3,500 kg gross weight, a high figure for the class. The 6,800 mm wheelbase spread across six wheels explains the length: the axles sit far apart so the long body does not sag. At 2.35 metres wide, the trailer stays within the usual road width for this class.
Trailers of this build and length mainly carry long, light loads such as pipes, profiles, boat hulls or building elements, where deck area matters more than weight. In most EU countries an O2 trailer can be towed on a category B licence, as long as the combination stays under the gross weight limit that applies there.
On a used trailer with such a long frame, check the main chassis rails first: sagging, rust pockets and old welds around the axle mounts point to past overloading. Also check even tyre wear across all six wheels, the lights working over the full length, and the condition of the coupling and jockey wheel.

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.
