Schmitz Cargobull SKO18 – refrigerated box semi-trailers: unladen weight 5,940 to 8,610 kg, gross weight 30,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths up to 14,000 mm, widths up to 2,600 mm
At Schmitz Cargobull, SKO18 denotes the refrigerated box semi-trailer. The number 18 gives the size within the range, further suffixes in the type designation such as L, LZG and EXPRESS2 distinguish build variants, and COOL additionally marks the insulated box version. Size 18 is one of the standard sizes in Schmitz Cargobull's box programme and is offered both as a plain semi-trailer and with different axle configurations.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 5,940 to 8,610 kg, gross weights from 30,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 11,570 to 14,000 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm. The entire range therefore falls into vehicle class O4.
As a refrigerated box semi-trailer for tractor units, the SKO18 range belongs to the cold chain of European long-haul transport: perishable food, frozen goods and pharmaceutical products are carried in it over long distances at constant cooling, often separately adjustable across several temperature zones. The insulated body also shields the cargo from outside temperatures and weather, even while the refrigeration unit is switched off for a time.
When buying a used refrigerated semi-trailer, the condition and operating hours of the refrigeration unit matter most, along with the insulation of the box body for moisture and damage, doors, seals and partitions on multi-zone cooling, axles and the braking system, and the kingpin for wear; spare parts and service run through the Schmitz Cargobull 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.
