It is 20 yrs old with wooden sides and floor. I have Googled this till Im blue in the face but can't find any info whatsoever on older models. The more recent HB505's seem to be 905 kgs, and the new 506's I think are 920kgs. Thats all I can find. Many thanks
 
I have one.......currently for sale...although my wooden sides have been wrapped in car grade, charcoal coloured vinyl. Saves on chipped paint etc.

Anyhoo.....I'm sure mine states the same weight on it. I can check in the morning for you.
 
try ringing one of their dealers - I had one like yours (but put an aluminium floor in it) until 2 yrs ago. Sorry can't remember the weight of it but most of the Ifor dealers still see them coming in for serice or part ex so should be able to help
 
i have a 12 year old one. wooden floor, but i don't think it has wooden walls. it's 1170kg unladen.

doesn't yours have a plate on the drawbar?

Gosh. I had no idea they were so heavy! If I wasn't sat in my dressing gown I'd nip out to the shed to see if mine has a weight plate on it somewhere.
 
Make a note of the chassis number from the plate on the drawbar and ring Ifor Williams for any info. If the plate is missing, the year of manufacture should be on the wheels (eg '86'), which is only helpful if they are the original wheels. I used to have a 1986 one with wooden sides and a replacement double ply floor with rubber matting glued down, and I vaguely think it was 895kg without the (full length) partition - but I may be thinking of something else.
 
I've just had a new trailer tonight, but I might ring to find out the weight ready for when I advertise my Ifor.
