Rivakka Other models

The register lists here 4 versions with unladen weights from 840 to 1,014 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,400 to 6,484 mm and widths from 2,240 to 2,390 mm.

With a uniform gross weight of 3.5 tonnes, all four versions sit at the upper edge of trailer category O2; with unladen weights under 1,100 kg, this leaves a payload of around 2.5 tonnes, typical of skidding trailers for hauling round timber from the forest to the forest road. In Finland, such trailers mostly run behind agricultural tractors in part-time forestry work and at forestry contractors. Such a uniform gross weight is typical of forestry trailers designed around a single type-approval category.

On a used skidding trailer, the condition of the loader crane, where fitted, corrosion and wear of the stake bunk structure, the condition of the axle and brakes, and the tightness of the hydraulic lines all matter. The PTO and hydraulic couplings to the tractor and the condition of the stakes and chains are also worth checking before purchase; parts usually run through the Finnish forestry-equipment trade.
