This page gathers the Samro semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Samro is a French semi-trailer builder whose model designations such as SD28MH, SB233 or CD18MHPE point to reefer and deep-freeze versions as well as curtainsider semi-trailers, which sit side by side in the range for refrigerated and dry haulage.

The register lists here 103 versions with gross weights from 10,000 to 65,000 kg; lengths range from 6,410 to 15,240 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.

With its semi-trailers, Samro serves the French and Western European haulage market, in which national suppliers also play a role alongside large makers such as Schmitz Cargobull and Krone, particularly in refrigerated and deep-freeze transport.

As class O4 semi-trailers, the heavier versions need an air brake system and driving licence category CE for towing; the connection to the tractor unit runs through a fifth-wheel coupling and kingpin. Reefer semi-trailers additionally carry their own refrigeration unit with diesel drive or mains power, serviced separately from the vehicle's own running gear.

On reefer semi-trailers, what counts is the tightness of the insulation and the condition of the refrigeration unit; generally, axles, brakes, kingpin and frame rust, and a complete inspection history; spare parts for a French specialist brand can sometimes only be obtained outside France through the maker or specialist dealers.

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.
