Fischerleitner Voran – an EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 3,430 kg kerb weight and a 4,600 mm wheelbase built for light transport work behind cars and light vans
The Fischerleitner Voran belongs to EU trailer class O2, which covers gross vehicle weights up to 3,500 kg. Trailers in this class can still be towed on a category B or BE licence and are usually fitted with a mechanical overrun brake that acts on the wheel brakes through the drawbar as soon as the towing vehicle slows down.

At a gross weight of 3,500 kg and a kerb weight of 3,430 kg, the payload comes to only around 70 kg. For a sturdily built trailer of this size that is no contradiction; it simply shows that most of the weight sits in the body itself. At 6,980 mm long, 2,460 mm wide and with a 4,600 mm wheelbase on four wheels, the trailer is laid out for bulky rather than heavy loads.
Class O2 trailers are used mainly behind cars and light commercial vehicles, wherever the load takes up more space than it weighs. The overrun brake transmits braking force purely mechanically through the drawbar, without its own compressed-air or electrical supply, which keeps the design simple but calls for regular care of the mechanism.
When buying used, check the chassis and the drawbar first, as corrosion and play in the overrun mechanism show up there before anywhere else. Brake rods and cables should move freely, the wheel bearings should show no play, and the lighting together with the connector to the towing vehicle should work. Tyres with adequate tread depth and a sound, undamaged body round off the inspection.
