Torbo – compact EU class O2 trailer, 5.90 m long, with a 3,500 kg gross weight and 2,420 kg unladen weight, built in 2024
The Torbo belongs to the class of compact multi-purpose trailers built for tools, machinery and building material in both commercial and private use. 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 an unladen weight of 2,420 kg, payload comes to roughly 1,080 kg. Length is 5.90 m and width 2.05 m. The comparatively high unladen weight relative to its length points to a robust build meant for sustained heavy use rather than a light transport design.
Class O2 trailers run on an overrun brake: when the towing vehicle brakes, the trailer pushes forward against the coupling, triggering its own brake — a mechanically simple, low-maintenance system that has been standard on rugged working trailers for decades.
When buying used, check the overrun coupling and its handbrake cable, look for corrosion on load-bearing frame parts and the deck floor, and check the condition of the tyres and wheel bearings. On a rugged working trailer like this, scrapes and dents on the side panels are also worth noting as a sign of past use. 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. The condition of the mudguards and the lashing points along the frame is worth a look as well, since both take steady wear in daily use.
