It has an unladen weight of just 560 kg, giving a payload of around 2,940 kg, a very high share for this weight class. At a length of 7,350 mm and a width of 2,240 mm, this is a long, light build suited to bulky but not especially heavy cargo. Such a low tare weight is possible with simple, open platform builds without fixed bodywork, the kind typically used for long material or agricultural and forestry equipment.

A low tare weight combined with a large deck suits agricultural or forestry equipment, round timber or similar goods, where deck area rather than raw weight drives the design. Such a trailer is usually towed with driving licence category B or BE, depending on the combination's permitted gross weight. Spare parts for axles, the overrun coupling and lighting are widely available for this common trailer class, independent of the original manufacturer.

When buying used, a chassis this light needs particular attention to twisting and cracks in the main beams, since thin-walled structures suffer more under uneven loading. The overrun brake, axle suspension and the condition of the deck boards or platform belong on the checklist, along with tyre condition and lighting. The coupling head with its wear-indicator ring, the overrun brake's breakaway cable and a working light socket also belong on the pre-purchase checklist.
