This page gathers the Valkenaers models the register could not assign to a named series: the MT 12 and the PCF MT9. Valkenaers is a Belgian body builder whose chassis and bodies are listed in the register under short type codes such as MT; body builders of this kind typically take a series-built chassis from a commercial-vehicle maker and fit it with a customer-specific body, without manufacturing the engine or drivetrain themselves.

The register lists 2 versions here with a four-cylinder engine of 2,446 cm³ displacement, kerb weights from 3,120 to 3,360 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg and widths of 2,180 to 2,280 mm.
With a kerb weight close to the 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight, these chassis are left with only a small remaining payload, typical of heavy, permanently fitted bodies such as those used in municipal or workshop settings; such vehicles are rarely meant to carry changing heavy loads, but rather to permanently carry the body itself with its tools, equipment or fixed installations.
When buying used, check the condition of the frame and body mounting, corrosion on the chassis and underfloor, the function of brakes and suspension given the small remaining payload, the condition of hydraulic or electrical connections to the body, and the service history; chassis and drivetrain parts usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops, with body parts available directly from Belgian body builders.
