Wacker Neuson HSH 700G (built 2007) - an EU class O2 trailer: gross weight 3,500 kg, kerb weight 3,400 kg and width 2,008 mm, overall length 5.5 m
Wacker Neuson is a manufacturer of construction machinery and equipment based in Munich, Germany, known chiefly for compaction technology, concrete technology and compact equipment for building sites. With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the HSH 700G 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. With a payload of only 100 kg, the gross weight allowance is almost entirely taken up by the kerb weight itself.

The gross weight is 3,500 kg and the kerb weight is 3,400 kg, which leaves a payload of 100 kg. At a length of 5.5 m and a width of 2,008 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.
