Ravo
Alkmaar, Netherlands


    Ravo is primarily known as a manufacturer of road sweepers. However, the company did offer the American Gar Wood "900" series rear loaders in The Netherlands during the 1980s. These were presumably built under license (from Sargent Industries, or Edelhoff), or may have been imported from Germany with Ravo badges applied. With the rights for the LP-900 being acquired by FAUN in 1989, the Ravo models eventually were discontinued.
