Htf HZCT – closed box semi-trailers: 14 models, unladen weight 6,220 to 9,560 kg, gross vehicle weight 20 to 45 tonnes, lengths up to 13,850 mm
H.T.F. builds closed box semi-trailers in the Netherlands for general road haulage. The HZCT range covers semi-trailers with a fixed box body, whose designations such as HZCT 22, HZCT 30S or HZCT 39 correspond, with rising number, to larger and heavier versions; several models are additionally fitted with a tail lift.

The register lists 14 versions of the HZCT range with unladen weights from 6,220 to 9,560 kg and gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 45,000 kg. Six of the models also carry lengths from 13,700 to 13,850 mm, while widths run from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights up to 45 tonnes and lengths around 13.7 to 13.85 metres, HZCT covers the class of standard box semi-trailers for European general-cargo and distribution traffic. The fixed box body protects the load from the weather and allows loading through side or rear doors, and with a tail lift, level with the ground without a ramp as well. Hauliers and logistics providers moving palletised goods between depots and retail distribution centres commonly run such box semi-trailers in daily shuttle traffic.
On a used box semi-trailer, the tightness of the roof and side walls, the condition of the doors and seals, the floor for sagging and rot, and, on equipped models, the function of the tail lift all matter. The axles, braking system and kingpin belong in the check, along with the date of the last roadworthiness inspection and the condition of the lighting system.

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.
