Voka 3500T (built 1995) - an EU class O2 trailer: gross weight 3,500 kg, kerb weight 720 kg and width 2,400 mm, overall length 4.01 m
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the 3500T falls into EU trailer class O2, which covers trailers from 750 to 3,500 kg. Trailers in this class mostly run on an overrun brake and are towed by cars or light commercial vehicles. The type designation 3500T refers directly, through the number 3500, to the gross weight of 3,500 kg.

The gross weight is 3,500 kg and the kerb weight is 720 kg, which leaves a payload of 2,780 kg. At a length of 4.01 m and a width of 2,400 mm, this single model's footprint takes shape.
Trailers of this size carry general cargo, small equipment or materials in trades and agriculture. The overrun brake engages automatically as the towing vehicle brakes, with no drive of its own. Lighting, coupling and nose weight must suit the class of towing vehicle the trailer is paired with. On the road, a valid periodic roadworthiness inspection is mandatory, as is working lighting, regardless of how old the chassis itself is.
Buying used, the overrun brake mechanism deserves a close look: the damper, the handbrake cable and the reversing linkage should move freely and without play. Check the chassis for rust at the welds and around the axle mount, and the tyres for age and flat spots from standing still. The ball or eye coupling, lighting and electrical connector to the towing vehicle deserve the same attention as the condition of the sides or the load floor. Checking any surviving service records alongside the condition of the brake drums or discs and the wheel bearings rounds off a thorough inspection before any purchase.
