Langendorf SKS: six class O4 tipping semi-trailers from Waltrop, unladen weight 4.58 to 8.78 t, gross vehicle weight 24 to 39 t, lengths 8.40 to 10.55 m
The SKS range from Langendorf in Waltrop comprises class O4 tipping semi-trailers. The versions listed in the register, from SKS 18/24 to SKS 25/31, carry two numbers in the type designation like the maker's other ranges, distinguishing the body size by model; the SKS HS 24/27 variant marks a separate equipment level.

The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights from 4,580 to 8,780 kg, gross vehicle weights from 24,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 8.40 to 10.55 m and widths from 2.50 to 2.55 m.
Tipping semi-trailers such as the SKS range are common in building-material and earthworks haulage, where a shorter overall length compared with box semi-trailers gives better manoeuvrability on building sites and in tight gravel pits. Compared with a classic tipper lorry, the tipping semi-trailer allows greater load capacity with the same tractor unit, since the tractor's own weight is not burdened by a tipping body of its own.
When buying used, what counts on tipping semi-trailers is the condition of the tipping body and hydraulic cylinders, corrosion and deformation of the body floor from abrasion by bulk material, the tightness of the hydraulic system, and the condition of axles, brakes and the kingpin; 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.
