Gross weight stands at 3,500 kg and unladen weight at 1,395 kg, giving a payload of 2,105 kg. At a width of only 1,800 mm the trailer is clearly narrower than the 2,550 mm permitted for trailers, pointing to a narrow-track design meant for a boat, motorcycles or a single bulky item rather than a wide closed body. The axle spacing of 3,250 mm fits a compact single-axle or closely spaced two-axle layout.

Trailers of this weight class are accordingly fitted with an overrun brake as a rule; the permitted top speed of 100 km/h presupposes that this brake system has been tested and approved accordingly. Towing it behind a car needs licence category B or BE depending on the combination's gross weight.

On a used trailer this narrow, what counts is the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on the frame and drawbar, and the tyres and rims. On narrow trailers it is also worth checking whether the deck still carries the mounts suited to its intended purpose, such as a boat or motorcycles. On such a narrow trailer, it is also worth checking the ball coupling, which comes under greater strain with uneven loading.
