At a length of 8,650 mm, a width of 2,000 mm and a wheelbase of 5,700 mm, the BT 35 has an unladen weight of 945 kg; against the gross weight of 3,500 kg that leaves a payload of 2,555 kg. It runs on 4 wheels and is rated for 100 km/h. For a single model of this size, the ratio of unladen weight to payload shows how much the design is built around the load rather than its own structure.
Trailers in this class usually run an overrun brake: the towing vehicle's deceleration pushes the drawbar linkage together and applies the brake without any separate air system. Towing needs at least a category B licence, provided the combination's total weight stays under the statutory limit, otherwise category BE. Which towing vehicle actually fits depends, besides the gross weight, on the nose weight at the coupling and the type of coupling itself; together they set the practical limit for the load carried.
When buying used, check the condition of axles and wheel bearings, the function of the braking system, corrosion on the frame and drawbar, and the state of lighting, the electrical connector, tyres and rims. Equally important are the load-securing anchor points and even wear of the brake linings across all axles. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
