With an unladen weight of 2,300 kg, payload comes to only 1,200 kg, around a third of the gross weight. At 7.06 m long, 2.55 m wide and with a 6.00 m wheelbase on four wheels, the trailer is unusually long and heavily built for its weight class, pointing to a sturdy frame designed for bulky rather than heavy loads. Its design top speed is 90 km/h, lower than the 100 km/h usual for trailers, a limit sometimes set for trailers with a particular axle or tyre rating.
Class O2 trailers are generally fitted with an overrun brake rather than an air system. Towing it behind a car needs licence category B or BE depending on the combination's gross weight; on such a long trailer, it is also worth watching stability in corners and lane changes, since a long wheelbase reduces the trailer's tendency to sway from side to side at speed.
On a used trailer of this kind, what counts is the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on the frame and deck, and the tyres, lighting and electrical plug. Given such a long and sturdy frame for its class, it is also worth checking for sagging and earlier repairs to the side members, and testing the coupling head for play after nearly three decades of use.
