Kögel – other semi-trailers: the collective page of semi-trailers from Burtenbach outside the named ranges, with the AW, AWE, GN and SN codes, 3.5 to 66 tonnes gross weight, curtainsider and box bodies

This page gathers Kögel semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Kögel, founded in 1934 in Burtenbach, Swabia, is one of the big German semi-trailer makers and known above all for its Cargo curtainsider range. The codes recorded in the register such as AW, AWE, GN and SN denote older and parallel type ranges for trailers with different bodies – tarpaulin, box and flatbed – the following number (usually 18 to 24) roughly denoting, by the maker's logic, the axle-load or floor-height class in tonnes, W and E standing for swap body or extended equipment.

The register lists here 174 versions with unladen weights from 1,370 to 11,810 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 66,000 kg, lengths from 3,930 to 14,300 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,775 mm.

Alongside Krone, Schmitz Cargobull and Schwarzmüller, Kögel is one of Europe's leading semi-trailer makers and is widely represented in German long-haul transport with its curtainsider and box-trailer ranges; the high gross weights in the register also reflect special and heavy versions for combined transport.

On used Kögel trailers, corrosion on the frame and side members, the condition of the tarpaulin and roof bows on curtainsiders, the axles, brakes (usually disc brakes with EBS) and air suspension matter, and on box trailers the tightness of the roof and walls, and on refrigerated bodies the cooling unit; parts run through the Kögel service network and independent trailer workshops.

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.
