König Trailer T35 – O3-class trailer with 3,650 kg gross weight, 800 kg unladen weight and 6,450 mm length at the edge of the semi-trailer segment.
Between small trailers fitted with a simple overrun brake and heavy semi-trailers sits a class of medium-weight drawbar trailers that already need their own air or reinforced brake system and a multi-axle body, yet can still be pulled by ordinary tow vehicles without any additional professional licence.

The T35 carries a gross weight of 3,650 kg. Against an unladen weight of 800 kg that leaves a payload of 2,850 kg, a favourable ratio for a body length of 6,450 mm and a width of 2,370 mm, pointing to a light but load-bearing build suited to repeated loading and unloading.
At 3,650 kg gross weight the T35 sits just above the boundary of EU trailer class O2 and already belongs to class O3, which requires an air brake system from 3.5 tonnes upward. Towing it needs at least driving licence category BE depending on the combined weight of the outfit, plus a tow vehicle rated for that trailer weight.
When buying a used trailer from this borderline class, check the brake system closely, since depending on the year of manufacture either overrun or air brakes were fitted here – the operating principle should be clearly identifiable and the system leak-free. On the chassis and axle mountings, wear first shows up as play; on the drawbar, check the towing eye and ball coupling for slack, and inspect wheel bearings and tyres for age-related cracking.
