Schmitz Gotha – other models: collective page of curtainsider semi-trailers from the Gotha plant, type codes SCF, ZWF and ACF, 2.6–8.26 t unladen weight, up to 39 t gross weight
Schmitz Gotha denotes the semi-trailers from the Schmitz Cargobull plant in Gotha, Thuringia, which grew out of the former East German vehicle works and has belonged to the Schmitz Cargobull group since the 1990s. This page gathers the models the register could not assign to a named range. The type codes SCF and SW denote curtainsider trailers with a sliding tarpaulin, ZWF and ACF box bodies, and DO dolly axle units; the number that follows gives the axle count and approximate payload class.

The register lists here 47 versions with unladen weights from 2,600 to 8,260 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 5.24 to 14.00 m and widths from 1.53 to 2.55 m.
Curtainsider semi-trailers of this kind are among the most widely used bodies in European road haulage, because they can be loaded from the side and suit general cargo, pallets and industrial goods alike; the Gotha plant serves above all the central and eastern European market.
When buying used, what counts is the condition of the frame and fifth-wheel plate, the function of the sliding tarpaulin and its rails, the brake system and axles, tyres and wheel bearings, and the tightness of the roof and box body on the ZWF and ACF variants. Spare parts are supplied through the Schmitz Cargobull dealer 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.
