Van Hool 3B – three-axle semi-trailers from Koningshooikt: unladen weight 4,820 to 9,530 kg, gross weight 36,000 to 39,000 kg, length 8,500 to 14,020 mm, width 2,520 to 2,600 mm
Van Hool is a Belgian vehicle manufacturer based in Koningshooikt, known chiefly for buses and commercial trailers. The 3B range gathers the company's three-axle semi-trailers in the register; the four-digit model numbers such as 3B 0011 and 3B 2007 distinguish different builds within the range.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 4,820 to 9,530 kg, gross weights from 36,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 8,500 to 14,020 mm and widths from 2,520 to 2,600 mm.
With three axles and gross weights close to the European maximum, the 3B range is built for heavy long-haul work, where the extra axle compared with twin-axle semi-trailers spreads the axle load better and allows higher payloads with less wear on the road surface. The wide span in length covers both shorter special bodies and long standard semi-trailers, of the kind needed in European long-haul transport between haulage bases of different sizes.
When buying used, check the condition of the chassis and side rails, all three axles along with the braking system and air suspension, and the function of the landing legs and kingpin. On the longer versions it is also worth checking the chassis for sag and the evenness of tyre wear across all three axles, since uneven wear can point to faulty axle alignment after years of heavy service.

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.
