With a gross weight rating of 20,000 kg, the Raskone 2-AK-PP belongs to EU trailer category O4, the heavy trailers above 10 tonnes fitted with compressed-air brakes and ABS or EBS. The classification into this vehicle category follows the EU type-approval regulation (EU) 2018/858.

At a length of 6,850 mm, short relative to its gross weight, and a width of 2,490 mm, the unladen weight of 3,800 kg leaves a payload of 16,200 kg. That leaves roughly 81 per cent of the gross weight rating available as payload.
Such a short, heavy build at a high gross weight rating is typical of trailers carrying compact, dense loads with a low centre of gravity, such as construction machinery, bulk material in containers or steel parts, rather than bulky volume goods. Running the towing vehicle calls for licence category CE. The tyres and wheels fitted must be rated for the approved top speed and the registered axle load. Registration also depends on a valid approval certificate matching exactly the values stated here.
Buying a trailer this compact and heavy used, it is worth checking the brake system and its lines, the condition of the axle bearings and suspension under the high axle load, corrosion in the chassis rails around the axle mounts, and whether the tyres' load rating matches the registered axle load. A complete inspection and service record makes judging the trailer's condition considerably easier.
