Vredeveld ECO

The register lists here 13 versions with unladen weights from 1,940 to 4,243 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 5,000 kg, a length of 8,300 mm and widths from 1,840 to 2,520 mm.

Tipper trailers of this class are standard equipment on farms and contracting businesses for transporting and spreading soil, manure and bulk material, as well as in landscaping; the ECO range thereby covers the mid payload segment between single- and tandem-axle tippers.

Class O2 trailers such as the ECO range are towed on a ball coupling with a mechanical overrun brake, and a category B or BE licence suffices provided the combined train weight stays under the national limit. On tipping trailers of this kind, besides the brake system itself, the tightness of the hydraulic lines to the tipping ram deserves particular attention, since leaking lines can let the body drop uncontrolled.

On a used purchase, the condition of the tipping rams and hydraulic pump, rust on the sides and frame, the function of the overrun brake, axles and wheel bearings, and lighting and registration papers all count; parts and service run through Vredeveld and its dealers.
