Benhur – other models: the collective page of cargo and water trailers outside the named ranges, from the one-tonne cargo version to the Waterwagen, 540 to 1,340 kg unladen weight

This page gathers the Benhur trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The model names show two lines of use: cargo versions such as 1 Ton Cargo, Ben Hur Cargo and G 518 Ben Hur Cargo for general haulage, and the water-carrying variant Ben Hur Water and the tank version called Waterwagen. The Dutch model name Een Ton for the one-tonne version confirms the brand's Dutch home market.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 540 to 1,340 kg, gross weights from 1,000 to 1,950 kg and widths from 1,750 to 1,900 mm; one model carries a length of 3,680 mm.

With cargo and water trailers in the same line-up, Benhur serves two typical needs of small farms and service businesses: general material haulage and the water supply on the yard or building site, for which the Waterwagen serves as a mobile tank. Both lines appear to share a common base chassis in the range up to just under two tonnes gross weight.

On a used cargo version, rust on the frame and sides and the condition of the overrun coupling and axle count; on the water-trailer variant, the tightness of the tank, the condition of the drain tap and filler neck, and corrosion on metal parts in contact with the tank also matter. Wheel bearings and lighting should be checked on both lines regardless of the model.

What to check before buying

  • Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
  • Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
  • Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
  • Compare the chassis number with the papers.
  • Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
