Netam Fruehauf VPR

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 7,650 to 11,350 kg against gross weights from 30,000 to 39,000 kg. Lengths range from 13,120 to 14,000 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.

With unladen weights from 7.65 tonnes and lengths up to 14 metres, the VPR range is among the heavier and larger semi-trailers in the Netam Fruehauf programme and is built for long-haul transport of general cargo, pallets and building materials. Semi-trailers of this kind are often used in drop-and-swap operations, where a single tractor unit serves several semi-trailers over the course of a day.

When buying used, the fifth-wheel plate and kingpin for wear, axles, suspension and brakes, the frame for distortion and corrosion, and the condition of the deck and body all matter; a complete inspection history is especially important on older semi-trailers of this range. It is also worth checking lighting, electrical connectors and tyre tread depth. Spare parts run through the Dutch semi-trailer trade.
