Rogers – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, ELECTRONIC 6T and TRANSPORTER RECOVERY, 6,200 to 12,580 kg unladen weight, up to 40,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Rogers trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. Listed here are the ELECTRONIC 6T and the TRANSPORTER RECOVERY, two low-loader trailers for hauling and recovering heavy vehicles and machinery. Rogers builds such heavy-duty low-loaders in Albion, Pennsylvania, USA, where recovery and low-loader trailers for trucks, construction machinery and military vehicles form the core programme.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 6,200 to 12,580 kg, gross weights from 11,534 to 40,000 kg, lengths from 9,270 to 10,200 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,900 mm.
With gross weights of up to 40 tonnes, both versions fall into the heavy-haulage segment needed for transporting construction machinery, commercial vehicles and disabled trucks. The wide track of over 2.4 metres and the comparatively short length under 10.2 metres point to low-lying load beds with a tight turning circle, as needed by recovery vehicles and low-loaders for concentrated loads.
On a used example of such heavy low-loaders, the condition and load rating of the axles, the function of ramps, winches and lashing points, the state of the hydraulics on lowering beds, and rust on the frame and kingpin all count. The brake system and lighting should be checked for the high payload, and parts for US-built trailers usually run through specialist heavy-haulage workshops.
