The register lists 12 versions with kerb weights from 4,250 to 10,340 kg and gross vehicle weights from 18,000 to 45,000 kg. Lengths run from 8,400 to 11,396 mm and widths from 2,520 to 2,550 mm.
Tipping semi-trailers such as the SKS-HS range carry sand, gravel, excavated soil and similar bulk goods and are unloaded through a hydraulically raised tipping body at the rear or to the side. Alongside Meiller, Kempf and Fliegl, Langendorf is one of the established German manufacturers of this design and mainly supplies construction and recycling companies. Tipping semi-trailers of this design have shaped construction-site traffic in Germany and neighbouring countries for decades, shuttling between quarry, building site and landfill.
When buying used, the tipping cylinder, tipping body and the bearings of the tipping axle should be checked for wear and leaks, along with the frame, brakes, air suspension and kingpin. Corrosion of the body caused by abrasive bulk goods is a common weak point; spare parts are available through the German commercial-vehicle trade, and partly directly from Langendorf.

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.
