Kässbohrer – other models: the collective page of semi-trailers outside the named ranges, from tipper and silo to low-loader and tanker, 1.79 to 17.87 t unladen weight, 3,500 to 74,000 kg gross weight

This page gathers the Kässbohrer-brand semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Kässbohrer is a long-established German vehicle maker from Ulm whose name today stands chiefly for semi-trailers. The model names usually state the body type directly in English or German: tipper for the tipping trailer, lowbed for the low-loader, tankauflieger for the tanker, frigo for the refrigerated box, kippsilo and silolegend for the silo semi-trailers, and truck transporter for the vehicle transporter.

The register lists here 45 versions with unladen weights from 1,790 to 17,870 kg and gross weights from 3,500 to 74,000 kg. Lengths run from 9,100 to 14,180 mm, widths from 2,350 to 2,600 mm.

The wide span of gross weight from 3.5 to 74 tonnes shows the breadth of the Kässbohrer programme: from light trailers through the classic semi-trailers for tipper, silo and tanker bodies to multi-axle heavy-haul and abnormal-load trailers for construction machinery. Kässbohrer ranks among the established German makers in the silo and bulk-goods semi-trailer segment.

On a used semi-trailer, the checks differ by body type: on tippers, the tightness of the hydraulic ram and the tipping body and corrosion on the hinges; on silo and tanker semi-trailers, the tightness of the vessel and the condition of the loading and unloading fittings; on low-loaders, the ramps and lashing points. On all versions, the brake system, axle assemblies, kingpin and landing legs, and the frame for corrosion should be checked; spare parts run through the Kässbohrer service network and the independent 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.
