HO 45' Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer Smooth Side (ATH-2605)
HO-scale 45-foot Fruehauf Z-Van Smooth-Side Trailer is a detailed model designed to enrich HO layouts with authentic highway freight. The Z-Van lineage began as a 40-foot trailer and later expanded to 45 feet, with the smooth-side version representing the era’s modern construction.
Historically, refrigeration equipment, varied landing gear, and door rod configurations were options for these trailers. The model reflects three distinct body styles—ribbed-side, beaded-side, and smooth-side—providing versatility for road or rail scenes from the 1970s through the 2000s. It pairs well with an HO tractor on highways or can be placed in freight yards to convey period-correct, everyday operations.
