Hts – other models: the collective page of semi-trailers outside the named ranges, from the 200 and 300 types to the Translift and Trumlift for 40-foot ISO containers, 3.2 to 16.7 t unladen weight
This page gathers the Hts trailers the register could not assign to a named range – Dutch semi-trailers marketed under the Hts and Hts-Nch brands. The three-digit types such as 216, 327 and 343 order the ranges of the programme, the Translift and Trumlift versions for 40-foot ISO containers are built for combined transport with swap bodies.

The register lists here 29 versions with unladen weights from 3,200 to 16,720 kg, gross weights from 16,000 to 43,000 kg, lengths from 8,570 to 13,860 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
The container chassis serve transhipment between rail, port and road, the other semi-trailers classic long-haul transport – a field also occupied by the Dutch builders Pacton, Broshuis and LAG. Both vehicle types share frame and axle technology, which makes parts supply easier across model years and tractor-unit brands, from lighting to brake shoes.
On the container chassis, the condition of the twistlocks, lifting mechanism and hydraulics count, on the classic semi-trailers the frame, axles, brakes and kingpin; rust on cross members and side rails is the costliest finding on all versions. Parts for axles, brakes and lighting run through the open trailer parts trade, on the chassis also the lashing and lifting chains and their inspection tags, since a failed chain can drop a loaded container.

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.
