RIEDLER 1/14 dropside flatbed trailer from CARSON

RIEDLER 1/14 dropside flatbed trailer

CARSON 500907624

Kit reproduction, in metal, to be assembled and painted, of a 2-axle trailer for transporting building materials, from "Riedler Fahrzeugbau", by CARSON.

As with the original, the model's attractive finish and appearance make it an incomparable companion.

In combination with the Volvo FH16 Grumier ref: KCTA56360 from TAMIYA, fitted with one of the 2 dropside platforms designed by Carson ref: PCCA500907509 or ref: PCCA500907510, this articulated set will have nothing to envy the original. The solid steel frame, combined with the steel tray structure, provides a payload of around 5.5kg.

The detailed aluminum side panels feature engraved surfaces on both sides, and are made functional by sturdy hinges. Powerful neodymium magnets are used to lock the side panels in place; these virtually invisible magnets are set into the thickness of the side panels.

The wooden floor supplied in this kit illustrates the care taken to finish this tray, and can be aged and modified as required.

An optional accessory kit ref: ACCA500907623 is available, including a spare wheel and its support, 2 compressed air tanks and a tie-down chain.

The trailer can also be fitted with 2 square spotlights ref:PCSH39179 on either side of the license plate.

For use with the Volvo FH16 Grumier TAMIYA, the CARSON hitch ref: ACCAC500907182 is required.
