The register lists a six-cylinder engine for this 1972 R134X4. Against an unladen weight of 17,890 kg stands a gross weight of 18,250 kg, giving a payload of around 360 kg. The wheelbase is 3,800 mm, the vehicle is 2,490 mm wide and runs on four wheels.
With a gross weight of 18,250 kg, the R134X4 falls into EU vehicle class N3, the category of heavy goods vehicles above 12 tonnes, for which a speed limit of 90 km/h applies across the European Union. The very low calculated payload of just 360 kg against a gross weight of over 18 tonnes shows that practically the entire weight allowance goes to the animals, bedding and the equipment livestock transport requires, such as ventilation and partitions. Driving it requires a category C licence in the EU as well as additional certification for transporting live animals.
Buying a used livestock transporter like the R134X4 means paying particular attention to the ventilation, floors and partitions in the load area, since damp and animal waste attack metal and wood hard. Also check the brakes and axles under heavy load, and look for corrosion on the frame and body, as well as the condition of the waste drainage system and the lighting in the load area.
