Schoeler WKS 4200: EU class O2 trailer with a gross weight of 3,500 kg, a length of 6,000 mm and four wheels, built in 2024.
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the WKS 4200 sits at the upper limit of EU trailer class O2, which runs up to 3,500 kg and is usually still fitted with an overrun brake rather than air brakes. Most trailers still towable on a category BE licence fall into this class.

Built in 2024, the model carries a payload of around 1,130 kg against an unladen weight of 2,370 kg. At 6,000 mm long, 2,450 mm wide, with four wheels and a 3,970 mm wheelbase, the trailer is built rather long for an O2 trailer, pointing to use with bulky but not extremely heavy loads such as machinery or small vehicles.
Class O2 trailers are usually fitted with a hydraulic or mechanical overrun brake that engages automatically when the towing vehicle brakes. Towing generally requires only a category BE licence in most European countries. The combination of four wheels and a length over 6 m also allows the load to spread across two axles rather than concentrating on a single, more heavily loaded one.
Buying a trailer this new, the main focus is checking for transport or first-use damage: paint, side panels and load bed for scratches or dents, the overrun mechanism for smooth operation, and the lashing points for secure fastening. Even on a new trailer, the lighting function and correct fitting of the number plate are worth checking.
