Jsv Trailer 3500L+: an EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, a 7,100 mm length and a 2,600 kg payload, registered in Finland
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the 3500L+ sits right at the upper limit of EU trailer class O2, which runs from 750 to 3,500 kg. The model designation 3500L+ builds that weight limit straight into the name, a common way for light trailers to signal their class to the buyer at a glance.

Empty, the trailer weighs only 900 kg, against a permitted gross weight of 3,500 kg, giving a payload of 2,600 kg - a high share, more than three quarters of the gross weight. At 7,100 mm long and 2,300 mm wide, it offers a generously sized loading area for a trailer of this weight class.
Class O2 trailers are fitted as standard with an overrun brake, mechanically activated through the drawbar when the towing vehicle brakes, rather than needing a dedicated air system as classes O3 and O4 do. Towing it needs no more than a category B licence in most EU states, provided the combined weight of the combination stays within the limits that apply there.
Buying a used trailer of this class, the overrun coupling matters most: it should compress and extend smoothly and not brake unintentionally when reversing. The drawbar and its pivot should be free of play, the frame free of rust, and with 2,600 kg of payload available, it is worth checking the tyres and their load rating as well as the condition of the lighting and the jockey wheel.
