Ravens Other models

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 6,000 to 6,960 kg, a gross weight of 43,000 kg, lengths from 12,540 to 13,210 mm and a width of 2,540 mm.

At a gross weight of 43 tonnes, both versions sit well above the threshold of trailer category O4, which starts above 10,000 kg; this is the range occupied by semi-trailers for heavy and construction haulage, where a payload of around 36 to 37 tonnes makes up most of the gross weight. Such trailers usually run in the commercial fleets of construction, earthmoving or heavy-haulage operators.

On a used semi-trailer of this size, the condition of frame and axles, the function and wear of the brake system, the state of the kingpin bearing and air suspension, and the tightness and structure of the body all matter; corrosion of load-bearing parts and worn axle bearings are common weak points on intensively used heavy trailers. Parts for axles, brakes and air suspension usually run through specialist commercial-vehicle and trailer workshops.
