Van Berne PB – other models: the collective page for Dutch trailers outside the named ranges, from the PB 35 to the PB Variant 3500, 1,580 to 1,910 kg kerb weight, 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, category O2
Van Berne is a Dutch trailer manufacturer whose PB range is gathered here outside the named versions. The type designations follow a simple pattern: the PB prefix is sometimes followed by Variant or Var, and always by the number 3500, which matches the gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg; shorter forms such as PB 35 denote the same weight class in an abbreviated form. Alongside the full form PB Variant 3500, the register also lists the shorter forms PB Var: 350 and PB Var:3500 for comparable versions.

The register lists six versions here with kerb weights from 1,580 to 1,910 kg at a uniform gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, placing all of them in category O2 (trailers from 750 kg to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight). Widths range from 2,300 to 2,530 mm, and lengths from 4,750 to 6,140 mm.
Trailers of this weight class carry vehicles, machinery or general cargo in both commercial and private use, placing the brand in the same market segment as many Dutch trailer builders whose registration data is held by the RDW. They are used both by private owners for transporting vehicles and materials and by trade businesses for tools and machinery.
When buying a used O2 trailer of this kind, the condition of the axles and overrun brake, rust on the chassis and drawbar, and the condition and load capacity of the tyres deserve attention. Spare parts for brakes, lighting and axles are available through the general trailer parts trade, as are the jockey wheel and coupling head.

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.
