This review is of a model of a
Rogers 90T Beam Trailer.
It is in the colours
of De Beradinis.
Packaging
It comes in an outer shipping carton which encloses a
Heavy Haulage Replicas box with the Rogers name. The
model is held within a pair of factory sealed trays.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review model.
Included are tools and a bag containing a variety of
accessories and spare parts.
There is no information about the real trailer but a
comprehensive instruction sheet describes the
functionality of the model.
Detail
The underside of the trailer is fairly simple and
probably reflects the real trailer. The landing
leg has a metal pad and smooth hydraulic pistons.
The gooseneck has holes for the connection of hoses from
a tractor. The edges of the gooseneck bear the De
Beradinis phrase 'Florida's first call'. The top
surface is textured and has useable tie-down points.
On one side there is a spare wheel with securing chain
and on the opposite side the adjustment handle is
modelled.
The trailer beams have an excellent fine mesh platform
between them. There are useable tie-downs on the
inside and outside edges of each beam. Hoses run
down the inside and there are hose connections at each end.
The outside of the beams have excellent gold pin stripe
decoration.
The axles have detailed suspension modelling, and the
decorated wheels have tyres with a good tread pattern.
At the rear there are large soft mud flaps, nice lights
but no licence plate.
A variety of high quality accessories are provide
including wheel chocks, timbers, cones, a fire
extinguisher, and spare tyres. Oversize load signs
are included but it is not clear how these could be
mounted on the trailer. Of particular value are securing
chains in three different lengths, with binders.
Features
The wheels roll very well. The axle assemblies are
removable.
The landing leg can be lowered and it will support the
weight of the trailer.
The gooseneck can be detached and it is great that the
gooseneck handle actually works. Shims are
included to enable the gooseneck / deck angle to be
adjusted.
A different king pin can be fitted to the gooseneck.
Quality
This is high quality model, with a high
metal content.
The paint work and artwork are excellent.
Price
This is a very high quality model which is reflected in the
price.
Overall
Heavy Haul Replicas has quickly established a reputation
for excellent Mack truck models. This trailer
model maintains that standard. It looks great
paired up with a truck in the same livery.
Footnotes
This model appeared in June 2025. It was in an initial
run of 200 models.
