The SZ GV 3500 dates from 2002 and has an unladen weight of 2,450 kg; against the gross weight of 3,500 kg that leaves a payload of 1,050 kg. It stands on six wheels at a width of 2,220 mm. The 545 mm spacing between axles, on a six-wheel trailer, does not describe the wheelbase of the whole trailer but the tight axle spacing within a multi-axle group, giving extra support points for a limited gross weight.
Towing it behind a car requires driving licence category B or BE, depending on the combination's gross weight. Six wheels on a tightly spaced axle group at only 3,500 kg gross weight suggest a trailer built for stability with a compact body rather than for light weight.
When buying a trailer with such a multi-axle group used, check the even condition of all six wheels and their bearings, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, and corrosion on the frame and drawbar. With closely spaced axles, it is also worth checking that all axles carry an even share of the load and none takes more than the others. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands.
