Raf RA: the trailer range with around 20 to 30 t gross vehicle weight, 1.68 to 7.05 t unladen weight and 8.55 to 12 m length, in versions such as K, KD, KDT, AS, SD and PD
Raf RA denotes a range of trailers whose model list gives a numbered base series from RA 20 to RA 30 plus numerous versions such as K, KD, KDT, AS, YD, SD and PD; the spelling in the list alternates between RA and the long form R.A., but consistently denotes the same range.

The register lists 32 versions here with unladen weights from 1,680 to 7,050 kg at gross vehicle weights of 20,000 to 30,000 kg. Lengths run from 8,550 to 12,020 mm, widths from 2,460 to 2,600 mm.
With a gross weight between 20 and 30 t, the RA range sits among classic tandem and tridem-axle trailers for commercial vehicle use and competes with other European builders of similar trailer classes; the relatively narrow length range of 8.55 to 12 m shows that the range rests on a uniform base design with variable equipment.
When buying used, this range calls for checking the condition of the frame and axle mounts, corrosion on load-bearing parts, the function of the brake system and overrun coupling, and tyre and wheel bearing wear; on the various K and D versions it is also worth comparing the equipment actually fitted against the registration documents. Spare parts come through workshops specialising in this trailer class; on older examples the frame is also worth checking for cracks around the axle mounts.

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.
