Trailer reliability supports harvest
24th April 2025
Richard Western says its commitment to excellence is reflected in repeat orders for its SRT24 construction trailers and BWT20 beet trailers.
Both trailers are built on a 300mm deep, 150mm wide, 10mm S355MC formed Double C Section chassis, ensuring “exceptional rigidity” – ideal for tipping platforms on uneven terrain.
The suspension features a three-leaf spring set, designed for larger-diameter off-road wheels, paired with BPW axles and a patented rear steering kingpin design.
With 650/55R26.5 178D-rated wheels, they can handle 7,500kg at speeds of up to 65kph.
The drawbar can be either mechanically or hydraulically sprung.
The tipping system features a single tipping cylinder with 100% efficiency as the ram pressure is applied vertically.
A standard 0.75in tipping hose ensures faster tipping turnarounds – crucial for contractors.
With a 150mm taper, pressed floor, and reinforced side panels, the trailer bodies promise exceptional strength and reliability.
The heavy-duty tailgate features a soft stop when opening and a mechanical lock when closed, ensuring secure operation.
Richard Western trailers undergo shot blasting, two-pack primer and a high-quality two-pack topcoat, providing a long-lasting finish.
