O3: Trailers with a maximum weight of 3500 kg - 12000 kg
O4: Trailers with a Maximum Weight greater than 12000 kg

Dimensionally, the restriction of width 2550 mm, height 4000 mm and length 12000 mm is mentioned in the legislation. You should choose a trailer with a maximum weight suitable for the load you will carry. For special loads, production can also be made outside the mentioned dimensions, but such vehicles must obtain a route permit every time they enter the traffic.

Auto + trailer cannot exceed 18.75 m (if we are talking about one trailer). However, it is not the length but the weight that usually poses the biggest problem. Here we have distinctions whether the trailer has a brake coupling or not. But that's already a longer story :)

The maximum dimensions of a trailer that can be attached to a passenger car depend on the regulations of each country, as well as the maximum load capacity and towing power of the car. For example, in Poland, a trailer pulled by a passenger car can have a maximum width of 2.55 meters and a length of 12 meters. However, it is important to check the traffic regulations in each country, as they may vary.

The size of the trailer that can be attached to a passenger car depends on several factors, including the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle, the weight and dimensions of the cargo, and the type of trailer. According to, to determine the right size trailer, you need to find the GVWR of the vehicle you plan to use to tow the trailer and consider your specific needs, such as what you are towing, whether your haul can be exposed to the elements, and how far you plan to travel. The average car is about 6 feet wide and 15 feet long, so you need a car hauler that is at least 7 feet wide and 17 feet long to give yourself a bit of clearance all the way around, according to. The two most popular trailer sizes for hauling a single vehicle with room to spare are 8.5' X 20' and 8.5' X 24', according to. It is important to stay under 80% of your max towing capacity, and choosing a trailer that exceeds your vehicle’s towing capacity will stress the vehicle’s engine, transmission, and brakes beyond their design limits, according to

2.55 m wide (with a protruding load of up to 23 cm on each side) and 16.5 m long (car + trailer). And importantly, remember to tow a lightweight trailer (with a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 750 kg), and there must also be an entry of the permissible total mass in section O.2 of the registration certificate. In general, it is necessary to check the registration certificate so as not to be surprised during a road inspection.

The question is probably not formulated correctly because it is not about how big but about what weight/mass it can have. Each trailer has a registration document and specific parameters, and the car also has a registration document and parameters, and the driver also has a driving license and specific parameters/categories, and everything has to match. A two-axle trailer requires an "E" category in the driving license, while a single-axle trailer requires a "B" category.
