Schmitz Cargobull SCS 24 – the collective page of the curtainsider semi-trailer outside the named equipment lines, standard length 13.62 m, MEGA and Varios versions, 6.1 to 8.82 t unladen weight, 35 to 42 t gross weight
This page gathers the versions of the Schmitz Cargobull SCS 24 semi-trailer the register could not assign to an individually named equipment line. Schmitz Cargobull of Altenberge near Münster, founded in 1892 as a smithy, is one of Europe's largest trailer makers; in the company's line-up the code SCS denotes the curtainsider semi-trailer. After the range code SCS 24/L the model names usually give the internal length in metres, for instance 13.62 for a box semi-trailer with a good 13.6 m of load space, with suffixes such as MEGA for the version with a lowered chassis and greater load volume or Varios for the movable intermediate floor.

The register lists here 44 versions with unladen weights from 6,096 to 8,820 kg and gross weights from 35,000 to 42,000 kg. Lengths run from 13,860 to 15,186 mm, and the width is uniformly 2,550 mm, the maximum permitted in the EU for standard semi-trailers.
The SCS is Schmitz Cargobull's most-built semi-trailer type and the standard curtainsider of European long-haul transport; it competes chiefly with the curtain-sided trailers of Krone and Kögel. The narrow width span alongside the clearly spread unladen weight shows how much the base version, the MEGA variant and the lightweight version differ in material thickness, while the outer dimensions follow the European standard measure.
On a used semi-trailer, buyers should check the condition of the curtain and lashing straps, the tightness of the roof, the condition of side boards and stanchions, the brake system and axle assemblies, and, on Varios versions, the function of the sliding floor. Corrosion on the frame, especially around the rear axles and landing legs, and tyre age are worth checking; spare parts are well available through Schmitz Cargobull's dense service network.

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.
