Riba – other boat trailers: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, with the BV, BT and BU codes and size classes from 850 to 2600, 220 kg to 2.3 tonnes unladen weight
This page gathers Riba trailers the register could not assign to a named range – mostly light boat and leisure trailers, as the model name BOOTTRAILER (boat trailer) in the register shows. The type codes BV, BT and BU at Riba denote different boat-trailer ranges, the four-digit number attached (850 to 2600) varies with the trailer's size.

The register lists here 189 versions with unladen weights from 220 to 2,290 kg, gross weights from 850 to 5,200 kg and widths from 1,550 to 2,550 mm. By gross weight, the models fall into classes O1 to O3 (up to 750 kg, up to 3.5 t and up to 10 t gross weight); an overrun brake is required above 750 kg unladen weight, and a continuous braking system above 3.5 t gross weight.
Boat trailers such as Riba's serve the leisure and watersports market, standing there alongside specialist suppliers such as Marlin and Boatmate for the road transport of motor and sailing boats up to the medium size class.
On used boat trailers, corrosion on the frame and axle matters above all (particularly at risk from contact with salt and fresh water when launching), along with the condition of the rollers or bunks, wheel bearings and brakes, and the lighting system, which is vulnerable with frequent water contact; a galvanised or stainless frame and regularly greased bearings are decisive checkpoints on viewing.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
