Tijtrans STB-361 – EU class O2 trailer with a 3,500 kg gross weight, 870 kg unladen weight, three-axle running gear and 2.06 m width, built in 2002
The Tijtrans STB-361 belongs to the class of light multi-axle trailers built for hauling machinery, vehicles and general cargo behind cars and light commercial vehicles. With a gross weight of 3,500 kg it falls into EU trailer class O2, the group that, depending on the towing vehicle and licence held, can still be towed on a category B licence.

With an unladen weight of 870 kg, payload comes to roughly 2,630 kg. Width is 2.06 m, well under the 2.55 m limit allowed for road vehicles. The running gear rolls on six wheels spread across several closely spaced axles, a layout that reduces axle load under dense cargo rather than aiming purely at higher total capacity.
Class O2 trailers usually run on an overrun brake: when the towing vehicle brakes, the trailer pushes forward against the coupling, which triggers its own brake — a mechanically simple, low-maintenance system. The multi-axle layout needs careful adjustment of the brake linkage on every axle so all wheels brake evenly instead of loading each other unevenly.
When buying used, check the overrun coupling and its handbrake cable, look for play and corrosion at the axle stub ends, and confirm all wheels brake with equal force — uneven lining wear points to a skewed linkage adjustment. The chassis and coupling head should be free of cracks and deep rust, especially around the welds at the axle mounts.
