Torbarina T3 – long light trailer of EU class O2, 9.96 m long, with a 3,500 kg gross weight and 820 kg unladen weight, built in 2019
The Torbarina T3 belongs to the class of long, lightweight trailers built for bulky but comparatively light cargo such as boats or long, slender structural parts. With a gross weight of 3,500 kg it falls into EU trailer class O2, the group that, depending on towing vehicle and licence, can still be towed on a category B licence.

With a low unladen weight of 820 kg, payload comes to roughly 2,680 kg, spread over a length of 9.96 m. Width is 2.51 m. Four wheels on a 7.40 m wheelbase carry the load along the full length and, despite the low kerb weight, keep the axle load low.
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 four wheel bearings should be checked, as should possible damp or rust at the rear ends of the frame. The tyre valves and the spare-wheel mount, where fitted, are worth a look too, since both are easy to overlook during a quick inspection.
