The
Nooteboom Supertrailer ASDV-40-22 Drawbar Trailer is a
simple transport for up to approx. 32 tonnes of payload.
They are often used by companies that transport their
own equipment, such as earthmoving and road construction
machinery, containers and building materials.
This version of the model is one of the Nooteboom Red
Line series. It represents the 4-axle version of
the real trailer with an excavator trough option.
Packaging
The model comes in a Nooteboom branded box and it is
held between expanded polystyrene trays.
The review model had no
defects or missing pieces.
Included parts are marker boards and deck width
extension beams.
Detail
The small tyres are mounted on detailed wheels with
plastic wheel half-arches. There is a spare wheel held
in a frame. Detailing underneath includes a box and
rear landing legs. The axles and suspension are
modelled with both front and rear assemblies being
substantially plastic.
The drawbar is spring loaded. The front of the deck has
a plastic insert with diamond plated texture, and
there are
replica timber inlays which have individual boards
detailed. Side bumper bars are soft plastic.
The main deck has realistic tie-down loops which are
separate parts. The width extension brackets are
nicely modelled and include the Nooteboom name.
The two
ramps at the rear are fairly simple and have
replica timber inlays. Nice straps secure them in
position.
The detailing at the back includes lights and
graphics.
Features
The front two axles steer and achieve a
decent angle.
The rear landing legs can be folded and lowered.
The drawbar can lowered on its spring.
The tie down loops can be rotated into position.
The ramps can be lowered but they did not quite reach
the ground on the review model.
Marker boards can be fixed for a wide load or stored at
the front of the trailer.
The deck width can be extended. The width extension
planks have grooves which interlock with the support
brackets to provide a secure fixing.
Quality
This is a nice quality trailer with a relatively high
plastic content.
The paintwork and graphics are
very good.
Price
The model is reasonable value considering the size.
Overall
This is a good looking trailer model in 1:32 scale.
It poses well with other model and it would be really
good with a 1:32 tipper truck model to pair with.
Footnotes
The model was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in
2019 and became available in May 2020. It
was also produced in other colours.
