The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights from 4,820 to 7,330 kg, gross vehicle weights from 11,700 to 43,000 kg, lengths from 13.50 to 13.95 m and widths from 2.50 to 2.57 m.
Kögel is among the major European semi-trailer makers, and with the SN range covers the classic long-haul size at full combination length, which forms the standard in European road freight for curtainsider and box semi-trailers. In long-haul use such a semi-trailer typically works for several years in two-shift operation before moving into the used market for shorter, regional routes.
When buying used, what counts in this semi-trailer class is the condition of the kingpin, landing legs and axle assemblies, corrosion on the chassis and side members, the function of the braking system, and the condition of the curtain or body and lighting; a current inspection report should be in place before purchase. Checking that the chassis number matches the registration papers, and reviewing the service book, also belong to the pre-purchase inspection.

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.
