Htf Other models

The register lists here 112 versions with unladen weights from 3,420 to 12,680 kg and gross weights from 15,000 to 42,000 kg; widths range from 2,290 to 2,600 mm. Lengths range from 9,100 to 14,040 mm. At gross weights above 10 tonnes, the EU trailer class O4 applies throughout, requiring a compressed-air braking system and a towing vehicle with a CE driving licence.

The weight classes – unladen weights running into several tonnes against gross weights up to 42 tonnes – clearly place the HTF trailers in the segment of heavy semi-trailers and low-loader trailers for long-haul and heavy transport, not among light car trailers.

On used trailers of this class, what counts above all is the condition of axles, brakes and the overrun device, rust on frame and longitudinal members, the tightness of tarpaulins or tipper bodies, and a complete inspection history; since the maker cannot be identified more closely from the register, an independent technical inspection by an expert is advisable before buying.
