Rimo – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, Adero 2 and PL 3, 15,990 to 18,000 kg gross weight, 6,400 to 6,700 kg unladen weight
This page gathers the trailers listed in the register under the name Rimo, without assignment to a named range – the types Adero 2 and PL 3 stand for two heavy tandem-axle trailers of similar dimensions. Such registrations of individual trailers without range assignment are not unusual among smaller makers of heavy tandem-axle trailers.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 6,400 to 6,700 kg, gross weights from 15,990 to 18,000 kg, a length of 10,820 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
With gross weights of 16 to 18 tonnes, both versions fall into the heavy trailer category O4, above 10 tonnes; at a length of around 10.8 metres and a payload of 9.6 to 11.3 tonnes, these are multi-axle trailers for bulk or general freight in commercial haulage. Trailers of this weight class usually work in commercial haulage for general or bulk freight, often shuttling between several loading points.
On a used trailer of this size, the condition of frame and axles, the function and wear of the brake system, the state of suspension and tyres, and the tightness and structure of the body all matter. Corrosion of load-bearing parts is a common weak point on intensively used heavy trailers; parts usually run through specialist commercial-vehicle and trailer workshops. On tandem trailers of this size, it is also worth checking the condition of the tow coupling and the electrical plug connection.
