Gofa DB – silo and tank semi-trailers from Goch: 19 models, unladen weight 5,480 to 9,360 kg, gross vehicle weight 20 to 45.5 tonnes
Gofa Gocher Fahrzeugbau, based in Goch on the Lower Rhine, builds silo, tank and gas vehicles for transporting cryogenic and non-cryogenic media; since 2011 the company has belonged to the US Chart Industries group. The DB range covers semi-trailers for bulk goods, whose designations such as DB 25, DB 30/1 or DB 40000/4 refer to loading volume and axle configuration.

The register lists 19 versions of the DB range with unladen weights from 5,480 to 9,360 kg and gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 45,500 kg. Four of the models also carry lengths from 10,200 to 12,000 mm, while widths run from 2,450 to 2,500 mm.
With 19 listed variants, DB is the most finely staged range in the register among the silo and tank semi-trailers covered here, spanning a wide field from the lighter 20-tonne semi-trailer to the 45.5-tonne version. With this spread, Gofa positions itself between the classic bulk-goods silos for dry material and the tank and gas vehicles of parent company Chart Industries.
On a used silo or gas vehicle of this type, the tightness of the vessel, valves and lines, the condition of the insulation, the compressed-air or compressor system, and corrosion on the frame and suspension all matter. The axles, braking system and kingpin belong in the check, and for pressure and gas vessels the date of the next recurring vessel inspection as well.

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.
