Chéreau – further models: French collector page of refrigerated semi-trailers outside the main series, 5.4 to 12.19 t kerb weight, 18 to 43 t gross vehicle weight
Chéreau (Jean Chéreau S.A.S.) is a French manufacturer of refrigerated box semi-trailers based in Machecoul in the Loire-Atlantique region, and has for decades been one of Europe's leading suppliers of temperature-controlled trailers. This page gathers Chéreau models outside the named series; the type codes (CD, CRD, CSD, S, C) in the maker's programme denote different insulation and body designs, usually supplemented by a figure for body length and equipment level.

The register lists 65 versions with kerb weights from 5,400 to 12,190 kg. Where recorded, the gross vehicle weight ranges from 18,000 to 43,000 kg, lengths from 9.17 to 14.29 m and widths from 2.55 to 2.60 m – dimensions matching the European standard for three-axle refrigerated semi-trailers.
Refrigerated semi-trailers of this type carry food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive goods in long-distance European haulage; Chéreau competes here with Schmitz Cargobull, Krone and Lamberet as specialised suppliers of refrigerated vehicles.
When buying used, check the condition of the insulation panels (moisture, delamination), the refrigeration unit including the evaporator, door seals, axles, brakes and air suspension, plus the body floor (slip resistance, forklift damage); spares are available through Chéreau's European service network.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
