RICHARDSON Other models

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights of 600 to 1,080 kg, gross weights of 2,000 to 2,600 kg, a length of 4,500 mm and widths of 2,080 to 2,300 mm.

With gross weights of 2,000 to 2,600 kg at a comparatively compact length of around 4.5 m, the Richardson trailers belong to the upper mid class of category O2 and offer a high ratio of payload to unladen weight, of the kind needed for hauling machinery or heavy items on a short load bed. This combination of a short bed and high load capacity is typical of trailers for construction machinery and compact equipment.

On a used trailer of this load capacity, check the condition of the overrun brake and braking system, axles and wheel bearings, the load bed and tie-down points, and corrosion on the frame and longitudinal members. On versions built for hauling construction machinery, it is also worth checking the loading ramps and their locking mechanism. Spare parts are available through the general trailer trade.
