245N by Nash: EU class O3 trailer with a gross vehicle weight of 4,537 kg, a length of 8,480 mm and an unladen weight of 3,280 kg
With a gross vehicle weight of 4,537 kg, the 245N falls into EU trailer class O3, the medium-weight trailers between 3.5 and 10 tonnes. That puts it only just above the 3.5-tonne boundary with the light O2 trailers, ranking among the lighter trailers within its own class.

At a length of 8,480 mm and a width of 2,520 mm, the 245N has an unladen weight of 3,280 kg, giving a payload of 1,257 kg. The wheelbase is 5,640 mm. Unlike many lighter trailers of similar length, the unladen weight here makes up a large share of the gross weight, pointing to a robust, heavy frame rather than a build optimised for a low unladen weight.
As an O3 trailer, air brakes are required, and the towing vehicle needs a matching brake system with a two-line connection. The rig usually needs at least driving licence category C1E or CE, depending on the combined weight and the towing vehicle's own gross weight. The towing vehicle's brake system must be suited to the two-line air brake setup.
With such a heavy frame and comparatively low payload, it is worth checking how much of the payload is already used up by fittings such as side panels or bodywork before any actual cargo is loaded. Also check: condition of the brake system, bearing play on the axle, tyre condition, the coupling, and a valid roadworthiness inspection.
