Schmitz Cargobull AKO 18 – box-trailer range from the German maker of Horstmar/Altenberge: nine versions, 5,700 to 6,650 kg unladen weight, 18 to 24 tonnes gross weight
The AKO 18 range brings together box trailers from the German manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull of Horstmar/Altenberge. AKO stands for Anhänger Koffer (box trailer); the model list shows the COOL suffix in almost every case, along with refrigeration-unit codes such as FP45, FP60 or FPK60, indicating insulated, refrigerated box bodies for temperature-controlled goods. The additional digits after FP or FPK denote the power class of the respective refrigeration unit.

The register lists 9 versions with unladen weights from 5,700 to 6,650 kg at gross weights from 18,000 to 24,000 kg. Lengths range from 9,100 to 9,700 mm, widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
With an insulated box body and refrigeration unit, the AKO 18 range belongs to the trailers for temperature-controlled transport, as widely used in food and pharmaceutical haulage on intra-European and regional distribution routes.
When buying a used refrigerated trailer of this type, the condition and tightness of the insulated box body, the function and operating hours of the refrigeration unit, the condition of doors and seals, and rust on the frame and axle mounts all matter. Axles, brakes and tyres belong to the standard check; spare parts for the body and axles run through Schmitz Cargobull and the general commercial-vehicle parts trade, and for the refrigeration unit through the respective unit manufacturers.

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.
