Kögel SPKH – semi-trailer from the Burtenbach manufacturer: five versions with 25.5 to 39 t gross weight and around 13.9 m length
Kögel Trailer of Burtenbach, Bavaria, is one of Europe's major manufacturers of semi-trailers and chassis for trade, industry and freight forwarding. The SPKH range covers the brand's own semi-trailer line in the register; the models SPKH 18, SPKH 24, SPKH 24 P and SPKH 27 are built on a shared frame around 13.9 m long, typical of the European standard semi-trailer. Kögel positions the SPKH range in the market segment of classic curtainsider and platform semi-trailers for European long-haul transport.

The register lists 5 versions with unladen weights from 6,000 to 8,000 kg, gross weights from 25,500 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 13,925 to 13,950 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
Semi-trailers of this frame length form the standard vehicle of European road freight for general cargo, pallets and mixed loads; here Kögel competes with manufacturers such as Schmitz Cargobull and Krone, with the brands differing mainly in frame construction, unladen weight and equipment details.
When buying used, check the frame and side members for cracks and corrosion, the axles, brakes and tyres, the condition of the tarpaulin or body depending on the version, and the kingpin and landing legs; on older model years of this range it is also worth checking brake lining wear and the function of the lighting system. On curtainsider versions, the tarpaulin and its tensioning mechanism should also be checked for tears and function.

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.
