Kotschenreuther – other models: tipper semi-trailers and trailers from the Upper Franconian manufacturer outside the named ranges, unladen weights from 2,700 to 7,790 kg, gross weights up to 42,000 kg
Kotschenreuther is a vehicle builder from Marktredwitz in Upper Franconia, known above all for tipper semi-trailers and trailers for building-material and recycling transport. This page lists the versions the register could not assign to a named range, including type designations such as the AP, SP and TP series, whose number sequence gives the size or axle spacing.

The register lists here 18 versions with unladen weights from 2,700 to 7,790 kg, gross weights from 6,750 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 6,440 to 13,900 mm and widths from 2,180 to 2,600 mm.
Tipper semi-trailers and trailers in this weight class are common in building-material, earthmoving and recycling transport, moving grit, gravel, rubble and spoil in shuttle traffic between site, quarry or landfill; in Germany the segment is shaped, alongside Kotschenreuther, by manufacturers such as Meiller, Carnehl and Langendorf.
When buying used, tipper semi-trailers call for checking the tightness and condition of the tipping hydraulics, the condition of the side panels and load floor for possible corrosion from bulk goods, the axles and braking system, and rust on the chassis and underrun protection; parts for the tipping hydraulics and body are available through the manufacturer and the general commercial-vehicle parts trade.

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.
