Acmar AC14E2 – narrow EU category O2 trailer built in 2018: 3,500 kg gross weight, 1,400 kg unladen weight, 1,560 mm width, 3,700 mm axle spacing, 100 km/h top speed
At a width of only 1,560 mm, the AC14E2 is clearly narrower than the 2,550 mm permitted for trailers.

Gross weight stands at 3,500 kg and unladen weight at 1,400 kg, giving a payload of 2,100 kg. The narrow track combined with an axle spacing of 3,700 mm fits a trailer built for a single narrow but long item – such as a boat or watersports equipment – rather than a wide closed body.
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg the trailer falls into EU category O2 and is accordingly fitted with an overrun brake as a rule; the permitted top speed of 100 km/h presupposes a correspondingly tested brake system. 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. With an axle spacing of 3,700 mm, comparatively long for such a narrow trailer, it is also worth checking for warping at the centre of the frame and whether the mounts for the cargo it carries are still sound rather than improvised later. Given the narrow track, it is also worth checking the mudguards and their mounting, which come under particular strain with wheels set close together. The springs are also worth checking, since a narrow chassis like this one often carries uneven side loading in everyday use.
