Kögel – other models: German semi-trailers of the S/SN/SNCO series, from curtainsiders to box bodies, gross weights up to 45,000 kg
Kögel is a German semi-trailer manufacturer based in Bavaria; this collective page gathers models outside the named series. S and SN denote semi-trailers, the figure, usually 18 or 24, the payload class in tonnes, SNCO marks curtainsider versions with a sliding tarpaulin — tautliner is the English term for this —, while GN and AW mark curtain-side and box-body builds respectively.

The register lists 59 versions with kerb weights from 1,900 to 9,600 kg and gross weights from 3,500 to 45,000 kg. Widths run from 2,350 to 2,600 mm; the longer models carry recorded lengths up to 14,550 mm, typical of classic three-axle semi-trailers.
Semi-trailers of this type form the backbone of European road freight, from the classic tarpaulin trailer and tautliner to box bodies for temperature-sensitive cargo. Kögel ranks among the established German semi-trailer makers, supplying hauliers and fleet operators across Europe.
When buying used, check the frame and axle units for rust and wear; on curtainsiders, also check the sliding tarpaulin, the tensioning ratchets and roof bows. The brake system, kingpin and landing legs should be inspected, along with the tyres and lighting system. Spare parts for axles, brakes and tarpaulins are available from the manufacturer and independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.

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.
