Its immediate neighbours are the RAC-20T2B below it with 4,600 kg and the RO-28T1AHG above it with 4,965 kg.

This page gathers the Ekw trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations follow the pattern RO, RC0 or RAC followed by an axle count from T1 to T4 and further letter codes for the particular version; the range spans lighter semi-trailers through to heavy multi-axle low-loaders for transporting construction machinery and heavy loads.

The register lists here 46 versions with unladen weights from 4,570 to 21,760 kg, gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 70,000 kg, lengths from 7.60 to 13.74 m and widths from 2.46 to 2.55 m.

Semi-trailers in this weight class are used in construction machinery and heavy transport, where excavators, dozers and other construction equipment need to be moved between sites. The wide span from 20 to 70 t gross vehicle weight shows that both two-axle and multi-axle low-loader versions belong to the range. Such semi-trailers are typically operated by heavy-equipment rental firms and haulage companies serving several building sites at once.

When buying used, what counts is the condition of the frame and side members for cracks and corrosion, especially near the axle mounting and the fifth-wheel plate, the condition of the brake system and drums given the high axle loads, the function of the hydraulics on lowering low-loaders, tyres and axle bearings, and the kingpin and drawbar eye for wear. Spare parts for older model years can be hard to find.

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.
