Huffermann HMA – heavy-duty trailer range for long-haul transport: unladen weight 2,984 to 7,114 kg, permissible gross weight up to 30,000 kg, lengths up to 12,050 mm

Huffermann is among the German manufacturers of heavy-duty trailers for road haulage and swap-body systems, and the brand is particularly known for hooklift and skip-loader technology, used to lift swap containers on and off lorries and trailers. The HMA range spans versions from the plain designation HMA to four-digit variants such as HMA 1820, HMA 2424 and HMA 30.96, which differ in body style and dimensions.

The register lists 10 versions with an unladen weight of 2,984 to 7,114 kg and a permissible gross weight of 18,000 to 30,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,080 to 12,050 mm with widths of 2,450 to 2,550 mm.

Trailers of this size supplement articulated tractor units or rigid trucks in long-haul transport to form so-called road trains, in which the towing vehicle and the trailer can be loaded independently of each other. They compete with comparable ranges from other German and European trailer builders and are used mainly by haulage companies and fleet operators in general cargo and swap-body traffic.

When buying a used trailer, it is worth checking the frame for corrosion and cracked welds, particularly around the axle suspension and the coupling. The braking system, overrun brake and tyres should be checked for wear, as should the lighting system and the cable runs along the frame. On curtainsiders or flatbeds, leaks often show up as damp patches inside; spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the general trailer parts trade.

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.
