Krone SZC: six class O4 semi-trailers from Werlte, unladen weight 2.70 to 4.60 t, gross vehicle weight 20 to 34 t, lengths 6.77 to 12.57 m

The SZC range from Krone in Werlte, Emsland, covers class O4 semi-trailers. The versions listed in the register, from SZC 16 to SZC 20 Z, differ markedly in length and gross weight, running from shorter, lighter to long, heavy variants of the range. As with many semi-trailer ranges, equipment details such as axle count, braking system and underrun protection vary by order year and customer specification.

The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights from 2,700 to 4,600 kg, gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 34,000 kg, lengths from 6.77 to 12.57 m and widths from 2.47 to 2.55 m.

Krone is among the largest European semi-trailer makers; with the SZC range the Werlte plant covers a size bracket below full long-haul length, suited to shorter runs and adjusted load volumes. In long-haul use such a semi-trailer typically works for several years in two-shift operation before moving into the used market for shorter, regional routes.

When buying used, what counts in this semi-trailer class is the condition of the kingpin, landing legs and axle assemblies, corrosion on the chassis and body panels, the function of the braking system, and the condition of tyres and lighting; a current inspection report should be in place before purchase. Checking that the chassis number matches the registration papers, and reviewing the service book, also belong to the pre-purchase inspection.

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.
