This Henschel box semi-trailer marks the beginning of a successful post-war business: In 1949, the brothers Heinrich and Rudolf Bruns established a business for plumbing and sanitary installations in Lengenermoor. When the brothers ventured into their own production of steel heating boilers in the late 1950s, they were in need of transport capacities. The mighty Henschel bonnet truck, whose twin-axle box semi-trailer shows an early heating boiler for use in a domestic central heating system, serves as a reminder of this period. WIKING thus complements the product selection with a twin-axle box semi-trailer that is decked out with engravings on the side doors. It has been modelled after the authentic box semi-trailer with only one axle. The lorry-trailer combination with the Henschel serving as a tractor unit comes off as both powerful and contemporary. The lorry makers from Kassel used this striking bonnet truck as their launch vehicle that would propel them into the decade of post-war reconstruction. While the cab seems to be slightly crouching behind the engine projection, the imposing marker poles highlight visually how much power this long bonnet truck can generate. The elaborate engravings of rear window and roof fans and those found on the radiator grille and bonnet of the tractor unit are well proportioned. The radiator grille naturally includes the typical Henschel star and has even been inserted as a separate piece. The design is rounded out by the Henschel lettering and the elevated bonnet buckles. The box semi-trailer has been treated to the bicolour design option – with rear doors that can, of course, be opened.
