Schmitz Gotha SCF 24 – container chassis for 20 to 45-foot boxes: standard, Slider and Tank versions, 27 to 39 tonnes gross weight, 9.35 to 14 metres long
The SCF 24 is the container-chassis range from Schmitz Gotha Fahrzeugwerke of Gotha in Thuringia. A chassis of this type carries ISO sea and swap containers on an open ladder frame with twistlock fittings at the corner castings instead of a closed loading deck. Alongside the base SCF 24, variants with extended equipment such as G, LIGHT, LX, MX and HH exist, along with the SLIDER version with a sliding chassis for different container lengths and the TANK variant for tank containers; EURO denotes versions built to the European type-approval standard.

The register lists here 27 versions with unladen weights from 3,135 to 6,170 kg, gross weights from 27,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 9,350 to 14,000 mm and widths from 2,420 to 2,550 mm.
Container chassis such as the SCF 24 form the backbone of combined transport between sea ports, rail terminals and inland logistics, competing with comparable ranges from Krone and Kögel. Their advantage over box semi-trailers is a low unladen weight, leaving more payload within the container itself.
On a used chassis, the twistlocks and their locking mechanism, distortion and corrosion on the ladder frame, and on the Slider version the ease of movement of the sliding mechanism matter, along with axles, brakes, the underrun guard and the lighting system; spare parts run through the Schmitz 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.
