Krone SDC – range of semi-trailers from Spelle, standard class from 24 to 43 tonnes gross weight, unladen weight 3,900 to 5,860 kg, lengths up to 13.41 m

Krone, a commercial-vehicle maker from Spelle in the Emsland, runs its standard semi-trailers in the SDC range. The type designation combines the code SDC with the two-digit axle-load figure, for example SDC 24 or SDC 27, plus suffixes such as ELTU, ELTU2 to ELTU5 for electronic trailer control and braking systems in successive development stages.

The register lists here 27 versions with unladen weights from 3,900 to 5,860 kg and gross weights from 24,000 to 43,000 kg, at lengths from 11,000 to 13,410 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,550 mm.

The SDC range thus sits in class O4 of heavy standard semi-trailers, as towed behind tractor units in European long-haul transport for general palletised and general-cargo haulage. As the standard model of one of Europe's largest semi-trailer ranges, the SDC shapes the look of many haulage fleets. The vehicles are usually used in rotation with tractor units from different operators, so the maintenance condition can differ considerably between individual examples.

On a used example, rust on the chassis rails, the condition of axles, the braking system and suspension, kingpin and landing legs, and, depending on the body, the curtain and frame or box body count; on electronically controlled versions also the function of the trailer electronics. Spare parts run through the Krone dealer network.

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.
