Ruysschaert – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, RVK and SR 9 TP, 6,970 to 13,336 kg unladen weight, 9,750 to 15,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Ruysschaert trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. Listed here are the RVK and the SR 9 TP, two trailers with short type codes carried in the register without further explanation.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 6,970 to 13,336 kg, gross weights from 9,750 to 15,000 kg, lengths from 10,050 to 12,100 mm and widths from 2,460 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights of roughly 10 to 15 tonnes, the versions sit at the transition from the medium-duty to the heavy-duty segment typical of site, machinery and semi-trailers in long-haul traffic. Lengths of over 10 metres and widths of up to 2.55 metres match the frame of long transport trailers. Trailers in this weight range, depending on the body fitted, see use both on construction sites and in long-haul transport. Buyers pay particular attention to axle load rating and the condition of the suspension.
On a used example of such a trailer, the condition and wear of the axles and brakes, the function of the suspension, rust on the frame and drawbar or kingpin, and the state of tyres and rims all count. The electrics and lighting should be checked for completeness, and parts for such brands usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops.

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.
