OPLV 7000 by Mulbun: EU class O3 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 7,000 kg, a length of 6,550 mm and an unladen weight of 2,390 kg
With a gross vehicle weight of 7,000 kg, the OPLV 7000 falls into EU trailer class O3, the medium-weight trailers between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. Within that class it sits closer to the upper than the lower limit, well above the 3.5-tonne threshold that separates it from class O2.

At a length of 6,550 mm and a width of 2,220 mm, narrow for this class, the trailer has an unladen weight of 2,390 kg and a payload of 4,610 kg. The wheelbase is 4,350 mm. Its compact dimensions combined with a comparatively high payload suggest a short body built for general cargo or equipment transport rather than bulky loads. The narrow width also makes it easier to use on tighter roads.
As an O3 trailer, air brakes are required, and the towing vehicle must have a matching brake system with a two-line connection. The rig usually needs at least driving licence category C1E or CE, depending on the towing vehicle's own weight. The towing vehicle's brake system must also be suited to the two-line air brake setup.
On a compact trailer of this build, check the frame corners for twisting, since short, narrow bodies distort more easily under uneven loading than long ones. Also check: condition of the brake system, bearing play on the axle, the tightness of the air brake connections, and the condition of the side panels.
