Roodberg Other models

The register lists here 17 versions with unladen weights from 2,380 to 77,620 kg and gross weights from 3,000 to 78,000 kg. Lengths range from 13,940 to 21,820 mm, widths from 2,400 to 2,840 mm.

The span runs from class O2 trailers to extremely heavy special transporters far above class O4 – long, multi-axle versions of the kind used for construction machinery, mobile plant and other bulky heavy loads. Such a wide spectrum from light to extremely heavy versions under one brand name is not unusual among smaller trailer builders who build one-off jobs for customers alongside series production.

On used trailers of this kind, the condition and play of the axles, the brake system across the whole length, cracks in the frame and ramps and hydraulic cylinders and lines particularly count on the heavy, long versions; on the lighter models, the drawbar, overrun brake and rust on the frame count. Spares are usually supplied by workshops specialising in heavy transport. Comparing the chassis number with the vehicle papers is also important, since conversions and special builds occur more often in such widely spread ranges.
