Foro – other models: single-axle semi-trailers outside the named series, ARC 218 and ARC 28 types, 4,200–5,800 kg kerb weight at a uniform 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight
This page gathers the Foro trailers that the register could not assign to a named series. The type designations ARC 218, ARC 28 and REC 2-18 follow a uniform modular design with a constant gross vehicle weight, typical of standardised semi-trailer series. As a collection page, it gathers models that fall outside the series maintained separately in the register.

The register lists 5 versions here with kerb weights from 4,230 to 5,810 kg, a constant gross vehicle weight of 18,000 kg, lengths from 9,960 to 10,560 mm and a constant width of 2,550 mm.
With a uniform gross vehicle weight of 18 tonnes and lengths around 10 metres, the range sits in the classic bracket of single- to twin-axle semi-trailers for urban and regional freight, where the lower weight compared with multi-axle trailers allows tighter turning circles and lower toll costs.
When buying one of these semi-trailers used, check the kingpin and fifth-wheel plate for wear, the frame for rust and cracks around the axle mounts, the brake system with its pads and lines, and the landing legs with their crank mechanism. Parts for axles, brakes and lighting come from the general commercial-vehicle trade, and the condition of the load bed depends heavily on prior use. The registration papers and the validity of the roadworthiness inspection are also worth checking before purchase.

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.
