Rudy Dierckx – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, from the 2.2000 to the RD BT 2002, 380–2,310 kg unladen weight, 1,350–3,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers the trailers of the Rudy Dierckx brand that the register could not assign to a named range. The fourteen types listed run from the 2.2000 and AZ 1500 through the BT series (BT 1401A, BT 2000T, BT 3102, BT 3503, BT1701A, BT2002, BT2702, BT2702A) to the R27 series (R27T, R27TA) and two models listed generically as RD and RD BT 2002. By gross weight the types fall into EU vehicle class O2, that is between 750 kg and 3.5 tonnes.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 380 to 2,310 kg and gross weights from 1,350 to 3,500 kg. Length runs from 6,330 to 8,820 mm, width from 1,770 to 2,540 mm.
The BT series, with eight of the fourteen types, forms the core of the programme, and with designations from BT 1401A to BT 3503 evidently covers several payload classes within one series; lengths of up to 8.8 m at a gross weight of up to 3.5 tonnes point to a light, elongated build.
Class O2 trailers such as the BT and R27 types are towed on a ball coupling with a mechanical overrun brake, and a category B or BE licence suffices in most countries provided the combined train weight stays under the national limit. On the long, light versions, a tandem axle on rubber suspension spreads the load evenly across the elongated load bed.
On a used purchase, the condition of the drawbar and overrun brake, corrosion on the chassis and side boards, tyre condition and the soundness of the long load beds all count; spare parts run through the open trailer-parts trade.

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.
