The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 680 to 2,820 kg, gross weights from 1,400 to 6,750 kg, lengths from 7,300 to 10,520 mm and widths from 1,760 to 2,550 mm.

The boundary between the two classes sits at a gross weight of 3,500 kg: up to that point a plain overrun brake is permitted, above it only with separate type approval. Towing the lighter versions only needs licence category B, while the versions above 3.5 tonnes require a correspondingly upgraded tow vehicle with licence category C1E or BE.

With gross weights up to 6.75 tonnes, the span runs from the classic O2 class into the range of light O3 trailers for transporting materials, machinery and long goods in commercial use, a segment served by many small and mid-sized European trailer builders.

On a used purchase, the axles and brake system appropriate to the weight class, corrosion on the frame, the load deck, the tyres and lighting, and the match between the type plate and the gross weight all matter. Spare parts run through the general trailer trade.
