Talbert TSO 1-50: an EU class O2 trailer from 2003 with a 3,500 kg gross weight, a 6.60 m length, a 2.20 m width and a low payload share
The TSO 1-50 from Talbert is a trailer built in 2003. With a gross weight of 3,500 kg it falls into EU trailer class O2, the trailers between 750 and 3,500 kg that usually run on overrun brakes behind cars and light vans. At 6.60 metres long and 2.20 metres wide, the TSO 1-50 is a long, narrow example of this class.

An unladen weight of 2,770 kg leaves only 730 kg of payload against the 3,500 kg gross weight, a low figure for the class. Such a comparatively heavy chassis with little payload points to a sturdy, robust build aimed at carrying compact equipment rather than light, bulky goods.
O2 trailers with such a low payload relative to their unladen weight are mostly used to carry compact, heavy equipment such as small construction machinery or towed vehicles, where a stable frame matters more than a high payload. In most EU countries an O2 trailer can be towed on a category B licence, as long as the combination stays under the gross weight limit that applies there.
On a trailer built this sturdily secondhand, check the condition of the lashing points and the load bed for deformation from point heavy loads. Also check the overrun brake, the condition of the axle bearings under the comparatively high unladen weight, and look for rust on the chassis rails. and signs of previous repair welds near the axle mounts.
