With an unladen weight of 1,400 kg, payload comes to roughly 2,100 kg, spread over a length of 11.44 m. Width is 2.16 m. Six wheels on a 6.75 m wheelbase carry the load along the full length and, despite the low gross weight, keep the load per wheel low, as is typical for long, narrow cargo.

For this type of build, length rather than weight drives the design: a long but light load needs a frame that resists bending while staying as light as possible, so the payload is not eaten up by the trailer's own weight. Class O2 trailers run on an overrun brake.

When buying a trailer this long, it is especially worth checking for twisting and cracking in the side rails, since the long span creates high peak stresses. The overrun coupling, the lighting run along the full length and the condition of the six wheel bearings should be checked, as should possible damp or rust at the rear ends of the frame. It is also worth testing the lighting system and its plug connector to the towing vehicle, since contact corrosion here is a common source of faults.
