The 1971 Rigo RGT 18/22: a heavy six-wheel chassis with a gross vehicle weight of around 23.8 tonnes and a payload of only about 428 kilograms
The Rigo RGT 18/22 dates from 1971 and, with a gross vehicle weight of around 23,810 kg, belongs among the heavy commercial vehicles of its era, of the kind used at the time in construction and heavy haulage.

The chassis runs on six wheels, measures 2,500 mm in width and has a wheelbase of 4,540 mm. With a kerb weight of 23,382 kg, only a payload of around 428 kg remains against the gross vehicle weight, far below what a plain load carrier of this size could otherwise take on.
Such a small payload margin against a high gross weight is typical of chassis carrying a permanently fitted piece of working equipment that itself accounts for a large share of the weight, rather than open load space for varying cargo. The wide wheelbase and six wheels point to a stable platform built for steady running in a straight line rather than manoeuvrability. Spreading the weight across six wheels instead of four also reduces the load carried at each ground contact point compared with a chassis of the same gross weight on four wheels.
When taking on a vehicle like this, the condition of the frame and body mounting points, the tightness of the air brake system and the state of the axle bearings after decades of service all matter. Corrosion on load-bearing frame members and at the body attachment points deserves particular attention, as does the availability of spare parts for a vehicle of this age.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
