Rtb RTB2602 – EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, an unusually long 8.82 m body and a limited 90 km/h top speed
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg the RTB2602 sits at the top of EU trailer class O2, which runs up to 3.5 tonnes. Trailers in this class usually still use the simple overrun brake and can be towed by vehicles with a matching hitch rating, without needing a heavy-vehicle licence.

The body is an unusually long 8.82 m for this weight class and 2.55 m wide. Unladen weight is 1,210 kg, leaving a payload of 2,290 kg. The 5.77 m wheelbase on four wheels spreads the load over a long base, of the kind needed for bulky but light cargo such as boats, vehicles or leisure equipment. Top speed is capped at 90 km/h.
Class O2 typically uses an overrun brake, which engages automatically through the drawbar when the towing vehicle brakes, without needing its own air supply. The combination of great length and moderate weight is typical of haulage trailers whose cargo needs a lot of space but not much mass. The tractor's nose weight and hitch ball must match the trailer's coupling for the combination to be road-legal.
Buyers should check the overrun mechanism including the brake linkage and handbrake, the suspension along the full length, and the chassis for sagging caused by the body's length. The load bed should be checked for distortion and moisture damage, the tyres for even wear on both axles. Lighting, the electrical plug to the tractor and a current roadworthiness certificate are also worth checking.
