Baveck OPL 7001

The register lists here 29 versions with unladen weights from 590 to 6,390 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,300 to 28,000 kg and widths from 1,320 to 2,550 mm; length is recorded for ten models and ranges from 3,650 to 9,200 mm.

With gross weights from 1,300 to 28,000 kg, the range spans from EU trailer category O2 to category O4. On the Haspelwagen, the weight of the cable drum acts as a concentrated load on the rotating mount rather than being spread evenly across a deck, so axle load on these trailers depends more on drum size than on the chassis's own kerb weight.

Haspelwagen serve for winding, unwinding and transporting large cable drums in cable-laying and civil engineering work; the brand's other series cover, with gross vehicle weights up to 28 tonnes, a broad spectrum of special haulage.

When buying a used Haspelwagen, what matters above all is the condition and function of the drum mount and the winding drive, and on the other series the condition of frame, axles and braking system as well as rust on load-bearing parts; parts for this class of special vehicle are sourced through Baveck and specialist commercial-vehicle dealers.
