Schmitz AKO 18 – box drawbar trailers from Horstmar, also as the COOL refrigerated version: unladen weight 4,950 to 10,525 kg, gross weight 18,000 to 36,000 kg, lengths up to 14,452.5 mm
At Schmitz Cargobull, AKO stands for the box drawbar trailer (Anhänger-Koffer), built at the Westphalian plant in Horstmar. The type designation 18 and 36 gives the size within the range, further suffixes in the type designation distinguish build variants, and COOL marks the insulated box version with a refrigeration unit for temperature-controlled transport.

The register lists 7 versions with unladen weights from 4,950 to 10,525 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 36,000 kg, lengths from 9,600 to 14,452.5 mm and a width of 2,600 mm. The span of gross weights thus reaches from the two-axle class O4 trailer to the heavy tandem box trailer for semi-trailer combinations.
As a box trailer with and without a refrigeration unit, the AKO range belongs to long-haul transport and the cold chain of European road transport: food, fresh produce and pharmaceutical products are carried in the COOL versions at a constant temperature from production to retail, usually coupled behind a truck of its own.
When buying used, on the COOL versions the condition of the refrigeration unit and its operating hours matter most, along with the insulation of the box body for moisture and damage; on all versions, also check doors and seals, axles and the braking system, and the chassis and drawbar for corrosion. 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.
