At a width of 1,980 mm and a wheelbase of 4,660 mm, the 3EC3T5 has an unladen weight of 1,320 kg; against the gross weight of 3,500 kg that leaves a payload of 2,180 kg. Unusual for this weight class is the count of 6 wheels, meaning three axles instead of the one or two usually found on O2 trailers, which points to a more even load distribution or a more specialised use.
In class O2, the overrun brake is the usual type, and a category B licence is normally sufficient for towing, provided the combined weight of towing vehicle and trailer stays within the applicable limits. The three-axle layout mainly affects cornering behaviour and tyre wear rather than the towing licence class itself. Tyre size is chosen according to the load on each individual axle rather than the overall length of the vehicle.
When buying a three-axle unit of this size, check especially for even wear across all six tyres, the condition of the overrun device and its damper, and corrosion on the frame and axle mounts. The function of the lighting and electrical connector should also be checked. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are only available to a limited extent.
