At 11,549 mm long and 2,530 mm wide, the RS 200 PL is built for a towing vehicle that drives the sweeping and clearing units through a power take-off or its own hydraulic circuit. Such great length combined with a comparatively narrow width is typical of towed equipment meant to sweep the full width of a runway behind a tractor unit.
Airport equipment of this kind is subject not only to EU trailer class O4 but also to the individual airport's own operating requirements for winter service and runway clearance, such as response time and working width. Class O4 requires an air brake system, which at the speeds typical on the apron ensures safe stopping during convoy work.
When buying used snow-clearing equipment, check the sweeping rollers and brushes for remaining length and even wear, examine the hydraulic hoses and cylinders for leaks, and check the power take-off connection for play. Given the harsh winter duty, the air brake and the chassis around the attachment points also deserve a close inspection.
