750kg laden seems to ring a bell but may not be correct
here we go
Type 01: unbraked trailers - max. 750kg gross trailer weight or half the towing vehicle's kerb weight - whichever is less.
Type 02: trailers on overrun brakes - max. 3500kg gross trailer weight
1982 regulations demand that all trailers, including unbraked ones, must be clearly marked with their maximum gross weight in kg. This may be checked
at any time by the police at a weighbridge. Since 1st January 1997, all unbraked trailer plates must show the year of manufacture

but important to remember the kerb weight part as most tow cars arent over 1500kgs.
