Tiki Rolling Unit CP550-DRB/DROP – EU class O2 trailer, 7.22 m long, 2.30 m wide, with a 3,500 kg gross weight, built in 2024
The Tiki Rolling Unit CP550-DRB/DROP belongs to the class of low-loader trailers built to carry machinery, vehicles or bulky equipment behind vehicles rated for the towed load. The DROP designation points to a lowerable loading platform, a common feature of this build that eases loading and unloading.

With a gross weight of 3,500 kg it falls into EU trailer class O2. It measures 7.22 m in length and 2.30 m in width, staying under the 2.55 m limit allowed for road vehicles. Its sturdy own construction shows in the unladen weight, which the register lists close to the gross weight — typical of low-loaders, whose frame and ramps already account for a large share of the rated capacity.
Low-loaders of this class run on an overrun brake, and the low deck usually calls for smaller wheels than a standard trailer, giving a tighter turning radius when manoeuvring but also a shorter stopping distance under light load. The lowered deck brings the cargo close to the road surface and lowers the loaded machine's centre of gravity.
When buying used, pay particular attention to the hydraulics or mechanism of the lowering platform, the ramps and their locking, and the overrun coupling. Check for corrosion on the low-slung side rails, worn ramp hinges and the function of the lashing points before buying, along with the condition of the comparatively small tyres.
