This page gathers the Ova trailers the register could not assign to a named range – Dutch semi-trailers among which the tipper version forms the core of the brand. Model codes such as 28 AK 80 or 40 OK 90 give the payload class in tonnes, AK and OK mark different tipping-body designs.

The register lists here 22 versions with unladen weights from 4,210 to 9,410 kg, gross weights from 12,000 to 43,000 kg, lengths from 8,700 to 13,800 mm and widths from 2,460 to 2,590 mm.

Tipper semi-trailers of this size haul gravel, sand, excavated earth and bulk material between quarry, building site and transfer yard and are the backbone of Dutch and Belgian earth-moving transport. Haulage usually runs over short distances between extraction site and building site, which is why manoeuvrability and payload matter more than range or top speed.

On tipper semi-trailers, the condition of the tipping body and the tightness of the side boards, the hydraulic cylinders and pump of the tipping function, frame and axles and the brakes count; rust on the body from abrasive bulk material is the most common finding. The landing legs and kingpin with its coupling also deserve inspection, especially where the tractor unit changes frequently. Parts for hydraulics and body usually run through the manufacturer or specialist tipper workshops.

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.
