The Huffermann HRA 42.12 LS is a trailer from Huffermann (EU vehicle class O4), registered as built in 2017. It is 15,058 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, weighs 8,700 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 45,000 kg.
The Huffermann HRA 42.12 LS offers a payload of 36,300 kg – the gap between unladen and permitted gross weight. More than half of the gross weight is therefore available for cargo.
With a permitted gross weight of 45,000 kg the trailer exceeds the BE limit of 3,500 kg. It requires a C1E licence as long as the combination stays within 12,000 kg, otherwise CE – in practice behind a truck or an agricultural tractor.
Among the 57 trailers from Huffermann with a stated length, the Huffermann HRA 42.12 LS at 15,058 mm is among the longest (rank 5); the range runs from 5,050 to 15,450 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists one unit – one of the brand's most common models.
Huffermann HRA 24.70 – EU class O4 trailer: 30,000 kg gross vehicle weight, 25,006 kg payload, 9.38 m length, 5.40 m wheelbase, built in 2009.
With a gross weight of 30,000 kg, the Huffermann HRA 24.70 falls into EU trailer class O4, the heavy trailers and semi-trailers above 10 tonnes. Vehicles in this class take on loads in commercial goods transport that a single truck can no longer carry economically, running as a trailer behind a separate towing vehicle. They are used in long-distance haulage, construction traffic and the transport of machinery and bulk goods, where payload determines the economics of each run.

With an unladen weight of 4,994 kg, payload comes to 25,006 kg. At 9.38 m long, 2.53 m wide and with a 5.40 m wheelbase, the trailer sits on a compact but heavy-duty chassis built for heavy loads.
From class O3 upwards, trailers of this size are generally fitted with air brakes rather than the simple overrun brake used on light trailers. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category C1E or CE in the EU, depending on the combined train weight. The air brake system must be checked annually for function and leak-tightness as part of the periodic roadworthiness test.
When buying a used unit, check the leaf springs and their bushings: worn bushings or cracked spring leaves noticeably worsen road handling. Check the electrical connectors and lights for corrosion, check the brake linings and drums for wear, and inspect the frame beneath the load floor for rust perforation. A look under the tarpaulin or cover shows whether moisture has already got into the structure.

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.
