Hueffermann HMA: six class O4 hook-lift trailers from Neustadt (Dosse), unladen weight 3.67 to 7.07 t, gross vehicle weight 20 to 30 t, lengths 9.05 to 11.80 m
The HMA range from Hueffermann in Neustadt (Dosse) comprises class O4 hook-lift trailers: they carry swap containers loaded and unloaded by a hook-lift system, giving a hook-lift lorry an additional load area via the trailer. The versions listed in the register, from HMA 18.24 to HMA 30.96L, cover different payload and length steps of the range.

The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights from 3,670 to 7,072 kg, gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 30,000 kg, lengths from 9.05 to 11.80 m and widths from 2.44 to 2.53 m.
Hook-lift trailers of this kind are common in waste, recycling and construction-site traffic, where a vehicle with swap-body equipment moves several containers between different work sites and the trailer doubles the towing vehicle's transport capacity. The combination of lorry and trailer allows a full container to be left at one site while an empty one is taken away at the same time, without a second vehicle having to call.
When buying used, what counts on hook-lift trailers is the condition of the hook arm, rollers and guide rails, wear on chains or cables, corrosion on the chassis from contact with bulk material and building rubble, and the function of the container lock; axle load capacity and the condition of the braking system should be checked. Checking that the chassis number matches the registration papers, and reviewing the service book, also belong to the pre-purchase inspection.

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.
