Henschel – other models: the collective page of the Kassel trucks outside the named ranges, HS100 to HS140, 5.4- to 11.9-litre engines, built until the Daimler-Benz takeover in the early 1970s

This page gathers the Henschel trucks the register could not assign to a named range. Henschel of Kassel built trucks alongside locomotives and heavy engineering from the early 20th century and was for decades among the established German commercial-vehicle makers. In 1969 Daimler-Benz acquired a majority stake in the company, and by the mid-1970s truck production had been fully absorbed into the Mercedes-Benz range, ending the Henschel marque. The HS100, HS140 and H261 types listed in this register stand for the marque's medium and heavy ranges from this late period.

The register lists here 11 versions with displacements from 5,429 to 11,943 cm³, four to six cylinders, unladen weights from 3,480 to 10,404 kg, gross weights from 7,490 to 22,000 kg, lengths from 5,600 to 6,750 mm and widths from 2,120 to 2,500 mm.

Henschel trucks were among the established heavy commercial vehicles in West Germany during the 1950s and 1960s, competing with MAN, Magirus-Deutz and Krupp. With the Daimler-Benz takeover the independent marque disappeared, and many surviving examples are now part of vintage-vehicle collections.

On these historic trucks, check rust on the frame and cab, the engine's overhaul history, the drum brake system, and the mounting and corrosion of the cab suspension; since the marque's production ended, parts can now only be sourced through vintage-commercial-vehicle specialists and clubs.
