Gross weight stands at 3,500 kg and unladen weight at only 900 kg, giving a payload of 2,600 kg, around 74 per cent of the gross weight. At a length of 7,750 mm and a width of 2,550 mm the trailer uses the maximum width permitted for trailers, pointing to a wide, open deck for pallets or bulky goods rather than a narrow special-purpose load.

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.

On a trailer built in 2001, 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. At full width, it is also worth checking whether the deck still lies flat and whether the side stakes or boards, if fitted, are still securely mounted. Given the trailer's age, the drawbar coupling head and its wear indicator, where fitted, are also worth checking, since play in an older coupling head is a common source of snaking during towing. With the full width in use, it is also worth checking the trailer coupling for even wear, which can develop from off-centre loading.
