At a gross weight of 3,500 kg, an unladen weight of 1,700 kg and a payload of 1,800 kg, a length of 7.73 m, a width of 1.83 m and a wheelbase of 5.44 m on two axles, the trailer is notably long and narrow at the same time; this proportion is typical of bodies built to carry people or bulky exhibits rather than compact cargo.

The 25 km/h limit takes the trailer outside the requirements that apply to regular road traffic, for instance for the brake system and lighting; it formally remains in weight class O2 up to 3,500 kg, but in practice is moved like a site or off-road trailer, usually within a company yard or over short distances to its place of use.

Buying a used trailer of these proportions means checking the floor and side walls first, since these carry more load when used as a stage or passenger space than an ordinary load bed. On a 2014 build it is also worth checking the axle bearings and tyres, since a vehicle limited to 25 km/h is often fitted with smaller wheels not designed for higher speeds.
