Krone SDP – the collection page for Bernard Krone's heavy semi-trailer series from Werlte, 4.5 to 8.9 t unladen weight, up to 43 t gross weight, widths up to 2.6 m

The SDP series belongs to Bernard Krone's semi-trailer programme, built by its commercial-vehicle division Krone Trailer in Werlte in the Emsland region; the group began in 1906 as an agricultural machinery maker and has built truck trailers and semi-trailers for decades. Within the SDP series, the digits after the code (20, 22, 24, 27 or 30) denote the body size, while suffixes such as ELB, ELG, ELP or ELNZ mark individual equipment variants. One version is expressly built for piggyback (Huckepack) transport of swap bodies.

The register lists 36 versions with an unladen weight from 4.5 to 8.92 t and a gross weight from 27 to 43 t. Widths range from 2.46 to 2.6 m.

These figures point to heavy semi-trailers for long-haul and heavy-duty use, of the kind found in combined transport and in general cargo and building-material haulage. The SDP series thus sits alongside Krone's better-known curtainsider and box-body ranges in the heavy end of its semi-trailer programme.

When buying used, axles, brakes and air suspension deserve particular attention, along with cracks and corrosion on the frame and the kingpin mounting. On piggyback versions, the swap-body locking mechanism should be checked for function. Wiring, lights and the connections to the tractor unit should also be inspected, along with tyre condition; spare parts are available from Krone dealer workshops and semi-trailer specialists.

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.
