Schmitz Gotha ACF – container chassis from the Gotha plant: unladen weight 3,560 to 4,540 kg, gross weight 20,000 to 28,000 kg, length 9,490 to 9,750 mm
Schmitz Cargobull builds container chassis at its Gotha plant under the designation ACF, listed in the register as a distinct range. Type suffixes such as ACF 20 AR, ACF 20 L and ACF 20 S distinguish equipment variants within the more compact ACF range, which stands clearly apart from the brand's larger container chassis in length and gross weight.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 3,560 to 4,540 kg, gross weights from 20,000 to 28,000 kg, lengths from 9,490 to 9,750 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights of 20 to 28 tonnes and lengths around 9.5 metres, the ACF range is built for shorter containers and is common both in regional feeder traffic between terminal and transshipment point and in inner-city distribution, where the more compact build helps with manoeuvring in tight spaces and allows smaller turning circles than long-haul semi-trailers.
When buying used, check the condition of the twist locks and locking mechanisms, the chassis and side rails for distortion, the axles, braking system and suspension, and the function of the landing legs. On the shorter versions it is also worth checking the condition of the stop buffers and the locking indicator lights, as well as corrosion around the frequently used locking points and the wiring loom.

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.
