Model Forum / General / Models / June 2010Richmond SR2 Radial Arm Drill
Can anyone give me the weight of a Richmond SR2 Radial Arm Drill - assessing transport and seeing if it's able to go on my max load 2.5 ton Ifor Williams trailer. TIA AWEM >Can anyone give me the weight of a Richmond SR2 Radial Arm Drill - >assessing transport and seeing if it's able to go on my max load 2.5 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >AWEM Just asked the lads in the Labs at work, who have one. We reckon somewhere between a ton and a ton and a half. It'll go on the trailer until you go around the first corner if you're not careful.

I reckon it's definately a table down to the floor job to keep the c of g as low as possible. A 2.2 ton tractor was rather interesting dragging it back from Suffolk the other month!

A 2.2 ton tractor on a decent trailer must make a load not far shy of 3 tons. I remember my Volvo strained somewhat at a 1.5. ton CVA on a big trailer but that was a petrol engined towcar!

The TD5 Disco coped though I kept under 40 all the way back making me very popular!!! AWEM >Just asked the lads in the Labs at work, who have one.

I would think 1.5 is probably a bit mean for a radial arm drill, but your 2.5 ton trailer should be adequate weight wise.

Some low down weight could help.  SignatureNeil - reverse 'ra' and delete 'l'.

Anyone (Mark??????) got access to a manual for the Richmond SR2 ? AWEM |
