Fruehauf – other models: the collective page of trailers and semi-trailers from the inventor of the semi-trailer, 1914, outside the named ranges, gross weight up to 45,000 kg, lengths up to 14,320 mm

This page gathers trailers and semi-trailers of the Fruehauf brand that the register could not assign to a named range. August Fruehauf is regarded as the inventor of the semi-trailer: in 1914 he built the first trailer in Detroit that transfers its load onto the tractor unit via a fifth wheel instead of carrying it entirely itself – the principle that still defines the articulated lorry today. In Europe the brand long operated as an independent manufacturer with French production, recognisable from type codes such as ONCR, ONCZ or DF and from special bodies such as dollies and the BDF swap-body system.

The register lists here 139 versions with gross weights up to 45,000 kg, lengths from 4,940 to 14,320 mm and widths from 1,980 to 3,340 mm.

Fruehauf thus stands for the founding era of semi-trailer building, whose basic principle has been adopted by practically every manufacturer today – from Krone through Schmitz Cargobull to Kögel.

When buying used, what counts is the condition of the frame and fifth-wheel plate (wear, cracks), the axles and braking system, the condition of the curtain or box bodies, the operation of the landing legs and, on dollies, the tow eye and coupling; on older model years, additionally complete inspection records and the parts supply, which varies greatly by year and prior owner.

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.
