Schmitz Cargobull SCF – container chassis from Horstmar/Altenberge: unladen weight 3,010 to 5,690 kg, gross weight 32,000 to 39,000 kg, length up to 12,700 mm
Schmitz Cargobull builds container chassis at Horstmar/Altenberge, listed in the register under the designation SCF. These semi-trailers carry swap bodies and ISO containers instead of a load bed of their own; type suffixes such as SCF 24 G-45 EURO and SCF 24 G-45 EURO LIGHT use 45 to mark the container length in feet and LIGHT to mark a weight-reduced version.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 3,010 to 5,690 kg, gross weights from 32,000 to 39,000 kg and widths from 2,420 to 2,550 mm; lengths run from 7,050 to 12,700 mm.
Container chassis of this kind are essential in intermodal transport between port, terminal and consignee, because they let the same semi-trailer be used for different container sizes and weights. The LIGHT versions specifically raise the payload allowance at the same gross weight, which can matter most when hauling heavy containers over short legs between terminal and warehouse.
When buying used, check the condition of the twist locks and container locks, the chassis and side rails for distortion from overloading, and the axles, brakes and air suspension. On the lightweight versions it is also worth checking for cracking at weld seams, since weight savings often go together with thinner material, as well as the condition of the landing legs and the operation of the lighting system.

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.
