Netam Fruehauf trailers over 10 t (Class O4) – the French brand carrying on the name of semi-trailer pioneer Fruehauf: 295 versions, gross weights up to 45 t

Class O4 groups, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight over 10 tonnes. The name Fruehauf goes back to August Fruehauf of Detroit, who around 1914 was the first to realise the semi-trailer principle with a detachable trailer towed behind a car, founding the Fruehauf Trailer Company from it – for a long time the world's largest trailer maker. In France the brand name has been carried on for decades by a succession of companies; Netam, a French maker of box and tanker semi-trailers, appears in the register under the double name Netam Fruehauf. Details of the founding year and exact brand licensing cannot be reliably established from the register data alone.

The register lists 295 versions with unladen weights of 2,300 to 29,150 kg and permissible gross weights of 12,000 to 45,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for only 66 of the 295 models, ranging from 1,273 to 14,700 mm, and width for all 295 from 300 to 3,000 mm.

In France and the neighbouring francophone markets, the brand competes with the European industry giants Schmitz Cargobull and Krone as well as with specialist French makers such as Lecitrailer.

On used trailers, what counts is the condition of the axles (BPW/SAF) and EBS braking system, air suspension, frame corrosion, the kingpin and landing legs; on box trailers, the tightness of walls and roof; on tankers, the tightness and inspection certificates of the tank; and an unbroken inspection history; given the small number of recorded length values, it is also worth checking the vehicle registration document.

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.
