Dunlix ATR 3500/2 – EU category O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 860 kg unladen weight and 2,640 kg payload, at 6.40 m length and 2.60 m width
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the ATR 3500/2 sits at the upper edge of EU trailer category O2, covering trailers between 750 and 3,500 kg that are towed behind estate cars, pick-ups and light commercial vehicles. Trailers in this category are almost always fitted with an overrun brake that engages automatically through the drawbar when the towing vehicle brakes.

At an unladen weight of 860 kg, the payload works out at 2,640 kg, roughly three times the trailer's own weight, pointing to a light but load-bearing steel or aluminium build. The 6.40 m length and 2.60 m width give a large loading area suited to bulky rather than extremely heavy goods, such as machinery, containers or boat hulls.
Towing a trailer in this weight class typically requires category B plus the BE extension in many European countries once the combination of towing vehicle and trailer exceeds category B limits. Standard equipment for this design includes the overrun coupling with a parking brake for the detached state and a jockey wheel.
When buying used, check the overrun coupling and its damping, inspect the frame and axle mounting along the full length for corrosion, check the lighting system, and look at the tyres, which at 2.60 m width should show even wear on both sides. Side panels and the loading floor often carry pressure marks from bulky loads, which helps gauge how well the structure has held up.
