Baeten – other models: the collective page of the Belgian bodybuilder, tanker, tipper and municipal bodies on third-party chassis, four-cylinders of 1,957 to 2,500 cm³, gross weight of 4,800 to 6,100 kg
Bäten (Baeten) is a Belgian bodybuilder that mounts commercial bodies such as tanker, tipper and municipal bodies onto bought-in chassis from various lorry makes, which is why the engine and drivetrain of the models listed here come from the respective base vehicle rather than from Bäten's own production. Model names such as BR 5450, FP 4701 or RD 6100 S are Bäten's internal type designations for the various body variants.

The register lists here 6 versions with four-cylinder engines of 1,957 to 2,500 cm³, unladen weights from 3,230 to 4,940 kg, gross weights from 4,800 to 6,100 kg, lengths from 7,000 to 8,100 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,550 mm.
As a bodybuilder, Bäten is known in Belgium and neighbouring countries chiefly among municipalities, haulage firms and trade businesses that need a series-production chassis with a specialist body rather than a complete vehicle from a lorry maker; the vehicles on this page fall in the light to medium payload class.
On Bäten bodies, the condition and tightness of the body itself, such as the tank, tipper side panels and hydraulic cylinders, count, while the usual check points of the respective chassis maker apply to the engine, gearbox and braking system; parts for the body run directly through Bäten, and for the chassis through the base brand.
