At 5,200 mm long and 1,820 mm wide, the PC 2.1 weighs 1,400 kg unladen, leaving 2,100 kg of payload up to the permitted gross weight. The wheelbase across the four wheels of its two axles is around 3,700 mm, more than two-thirds of the overall length. That gives a payload share of around 60 percent of the gross weight.
With its comparatively narrow width and balanced ratio of unladen to payload weight, a trailer of this size suits trades, landscaping or the transport of smaller machinery and materials. Towing it only requires licence category BE, as long as the combination with the towing vehicle does not exceed 4,250 kg. The coupling on a trailer like this is usually the European 50 mm ball-head to ISO 1103, regardless of the specific towing vehicle.
When buying used, check the overrun brake for smooth operation, the axle bearings for play and the load bed for warping or rust. The lighting system and the load-securing points should also be checked for function and strength. After a test drive it is also worth checking that the wheel nuts are properly torqued and inspecting the tyre tread depth.
