Brinkley Model Z 2670 – EU class O3 trailer: 6,348 kg gross vehicle weight, 4,865 kg unladen weight, 9.48 m long, 2,550 mm wide, built 2025
With a gross vehicle weight of 6,348 kg, the Brinkley Model Z 2670 falls into EU trailer class O3, the medium-weight trailers between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. This class, too, is required by law to carry its own air brake system, because the simple overrun brake used on lighter classes no longer works reliably at this weight.

The Brinkley Model Z 2670 was built in 2025 and has an unladen weight of 4,865 kg; against a gross vehicle weight of 6,348 kg, that leaves a payload of 1,483 kg. Overall length is 9,480 mm, width 2,550 mm. The wheelbase is 6,400 mm, spread across 4 wheels. The permitted top speed is 100 km/h.
Trailers in this weight class are used in commercial haulage and by larger operations that need more payload than a simple car trailer but not yet a full articulated combination. The air brake needs an intact connection to the towing vehicle's brake system and regularly maintained lines, cylinders and linings. The unladen weight, high relative to the payload, points to a reinforced chassis built for demanding loads.
When buying used, an air-braked trailer of this size lives or dies on the brake system: check lines, brake cylinders and linings for corrosion, leaks and wear. Inspect the frame and body for rust and cracks, along with axle bearings, suspension, tyres and tread depth, and lighting. That also means checking the spare-parts supply for brakes and axles.
