Kässbohrer – other semi-trailers: the traditional Ulm manufacturer under the Turkish Tirsan Group, from LB (low bed) through APT (flatbed) to Metago/Metago Pro (box semi-trailer), 830 kg to 17.44 t kerb weight
Kässbohrer was founded as a vehicle works in Ulm, Württemberg, and for a long time built buses, trailers and semi-trailers; the semi-trailer business now trades as Kässbohrer Transport Technik and has belonged to the Turkish Tirsan Group since 1998, which continues the brand in the semi-trailer and trailer segment. The model codes in the register follow a modular system: LB stands for the low-bed semi-trailer, APT and ATP for flatbed semi-trailers, Metago and Metago Pro for box semi-trailers with sliding curtain or fixed body, KIPPSILO and LOWBED describe special conversions for bulk goods and heavy haulage.

The register lists 113 versions here with kerb weights from 830 to 17,440 kg, gross weights from 1,100 to 58,000 kg, lengths from 5,105 to 19,880 mm and widths from 2,200 to 3,150 mm.
With this span, Kässbohrer covers the whole semi-trailer market from the light car transporter to the extendable low-bed semi-trailer for heavy haulage, spanning construction, heavy-lift and general cargo transport.
On used semi-trailers of this class, what counts is the kingpin and coupling plate, the condition of axles, brakes and air suspension; on low-bed semi-trailers the extension mechanism and lowering hydraulics; on box semi-trailers the seal and sliding curtain; spare parts run through Tirsan/Kässbohrer and the open semi-trailer trade.

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.
