Gross weight stands at 3,500 kg and unladen weight at 985 kg, giving a payload of 2,515 kg, around 72 per cent of the gross weight. At a length of 7,000 mm and a width of 2,250 mm, this ratio results in a lightly built trailer with a comparatively large deck, of the kind needed for general cargo, furniture or building materials.
Trailers of this weight class are accordingly fitted with an overrun brake rather than an air system as a rule. Towing it behind a car needs licence category B or BE depending on the combination's gross weight; at full load the tow vehicle's permitted nose weight on the towball should also be observed.
On a used trailer of this kind, 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 deck, and the tyres, lighting and electrical plug. Given such a large deck on a light frame, it is also worth checking for sagging in the floor boards and the frame's longitudinal members. Given the trailer's age, the wiring loom for the lights is worth a look too, since original cabling from 2013 is a common failure point on trailers of this size.
