Nooteboom OVB – low-loader semi-trailer series: from the 32- to the 86-tonne version, 7,420 to 18,240 kg unladen weight, 2,480 to 2,550 mm width
OVB denotes semi low-loaders at Nooteboom, semi-trailers with a lowered load floor for transporting construction machinery and heavy loads. Nooteboom, based in Wijchen in the Netherlands, is among the oldest and best-known European manufacturers of low-loaders and special transport vehicles. The number sequence in the type name, for instance OVB 48 03 V or OVB 55 03 V, denotes payload or construction size, with the suffix V marking a version variant. Depending on payload, two to several steerable axle lines are used, allowing tight turning radii on building sites.

The register lists 24 versions with an unladen weight of 7,420 to 18,240 kg and a gross weight of 32,000 to 86,000 kg. Widths range from 2,480 to 2,550 mm.
Semi low-loaders of this type carry excavators, wheel loaders and other construction machinery requiring a low loading height and compete with other European low-loader manufacturers in comparable weight classes up to 86 tonnes gross weight. The lowered load floor also allows transport where bridges or tunnels limit the clearance height.
When buying used, check the frame and the lowered load floor for cracks and deformation, as well as the ramps, axles, brake system and kingpin connection for wear. On steered axles, additionally check the hydraulic or mechanical steering system. It is also worth checking the ramp locking mechanism during transit and the function of the working lights. Spare parts and servicing for ramps, axles and steering are offered by Nooteboom through its dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.

- 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.
