Arbgem DB/HHF – other models: the collective page of the types 409, L 407 D, LF 408 G and LF 409 outside the named ranges, 2,172 to 2,376 cm³ displacement, four cylinders and a gross weight of 3,500 kg
This page gathers the vehicles of the register group 'Arbgem DB/HHF' the register could not assign to a named range: the types 409, L 407 D, LF 408 G and LF 409. The designations follow a three-digit pattern in which the first digit gives the weight class and the second and third the engine or equipment variant, supplemented by letter suffixes for body or drive variant. Similar type patterns, with digits and letters following one another, were used by many European makers of light trucks and vans in this period.

The register lists here 4 versions with 2,172 to 2,376 cm³ displacement from four cylinders. Unladen weights range from 2,500 to 2,858 kg, the gross weight is 3,500 kg, widths range from 2,030 to 2,180 mm; one length is recorded at 6,150 mm.
With a gross weight around 3.5 tonnes and displacements of 2.2 to 2.4 litres, these vehicles sit in the light-van and small-truck class, widespread in the 1960s and 1970s in trades, commerce and municipal services. Such small trucks often served as the basis for box bodies, flatbeds or small tipper bodies in local delivery and trade transport.
On vehicles of this class and age, corrosion on the frame, cab floor and load bed, the condition of clutch and gearbox, the tightness of the braking system and the availability of spare parts count, which for such old small trucks is usually only found second-hand or as a reproduction.
