At a length of 9,400 mm and a width of 2,600 mm, the 800 MT has an unladen weight of 2,100 kg, giving a payload of 1,400 kg. For a trailer right at the border of class O3, this unladen weight is comparatively moderate, leaving more of the allowance for cargo rather than for the trailer's own structure.

O2 trailers can be towed on driving licence category BE, as long as the gross combination weight of towing vehicle and trailer stays within the limits of that category, a real constraint for many passenger cars. The overrun brake works without its own air supply and is triggered mechanically through the drawbar as the towing vehicle brakes, acting on the brakes of both wheels.

When buying a used trailer with an overrun brake, the overrun mechanism itself belongs on the checklist: smooth operation, the return spring, and the condition of the breakaway cable for emergency braking. Also check the drawbar, bearing play on the axle, the lighting system, the frame for surface rust, and the tightness of the brake lines.
