RKP – other models: the collective page of heavy trailers and semi-trailers outside the named ranges, gross weight from 13,400 to 48,000 kg, widths up to 3,200 mm
This page gathers trailers and semi-trailers of the RKP brand that the register could not assign to a named range. RKP is one of the Dutch trailer and semi-trailer builders for heavy road haulage; the type codes in the holdings combine an axle count (two, three or four axles) with a weight-class or range number, plus abbreviations such as KA, RA, PU or VL for different body and axle variants whose exact meaning cannot be conclusively established from the register alone.

The register lists here 153 versions with unladen weights from 1,350 to 13,400 kg, gross weights from 13,400 to 48,000 kg and widths from 2,360 to 3,200 mm.
With gross weights consistently above 13 tonnes, RKP sits in the segment of heavy semi-trailers and tandem-axle trailers for long-haul and heavy transport, comparable with other mid-sized semi-trailer builders in the Benelux countries.
When buying used, what counts is the condition of the frame and axle assemblies (rust, wear on bearings and suspension), the braking system (ABS/EBS, drum or disc), the condition of the curtain, sides or tipping body, the operation of the landing legs and kingpin, and complete inspection records; on the wider versions, additionally the validity of any oversize-load permits.

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.
