Kempf SP – tipper semi-trailer from the Bad Marienberg manufacturer: five versions with 34,000 to 46,000 kg gross weight and 12.3 to 14 m length
Kempf Fahrzeugbau has built trailers, semi-trailers and superstructures in Bad Marienberg in the Westerwald region for more than 70 years, with a focus on tipper vehicles for construction, recycling and agriculture. The SP range covers tipper semi-trailers in the register, whose designations such as SP 34/3, SP 35/3, SP 39/3, SP 39/9 and SP 46/3 are graded by volume and axle count.

The register lists 5 versions with unladen weights from 6,830 to 7,710 kg, gross weights from 34,000 to 46,000 kg, lengths from 12,300 to 14,000 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
Tipper semi-trailers of this size carry bulk materials such as gravel, sand, excavated soil or recycled material between quarries, building sites and processing plants; competing with larger makers such as Meiller or Carnehl, Kempf positions itself as a specialist in light, usually aluminium bodies that allow more payload at the same gross weight. In the recycling and earthworks trade too, where the vehicles are loaded and unloaded frequently, the combination of low unladen weight and robust construction is one of the brand's selling points.
When buying used, the tipping body and its seals, the hydraulic cylinders and lines, and the tailgate and its locking deserve particular attention; the frame under the tipping body should be checked for corrosion and deformation caused by abrasive bulk materials, as should the axles, brakes and floor plates for rust-through.

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.
