This page gathers the Huffermann vehicles the register could not assign to a named range. Huffermann Fahrzeugbau is a German manufacturer of skip loaders, hooklift equipment and swap-body systems for container and skip transport; the model list reflects this in the numerous HKA, HMA, HPA, HRA, HSA, HSF, HSK, HTA, HTM, HTSA and LBA type series, each followed by a multi-digit type number.

The register lists 31 versions here with unladen weights from 2,300 to 10,360 kg and gross vehicle weights from 12,000 to 47,000 kg. Lengths run from 5,050 to 15,250 mm, widths from 2,260 to 2,550 mm.

Hooklift and skip-loader vehicles of this kind serve the waste management industry, construction sites and municipal fleets, where they swap containers and skips, competing with other German builders of roll-off and skip-loader systems.

When buying used, this vehicle class calls for checking the condition of the hook arm, rollers and hydraulic rams, corrosion on the frame and mounting brackets, the function of the locking mechanism, and the brake system and overrun coupling; on heavily used vehicles the wear on the slide rails says a great deal about prior service. Spare parts come through the manufacturer and workshops specialising in hooklift technology.

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.
