Schmitz Cargobull – the neutral Cargobull register line from Altenberge: heavy trailers and semi-trailers with unladen weight 6,015 to 10,680 kg, gross weight 41,000 to 42,000 kg

Schmitz Cargobull, headquartered in Altenberge in the Münsterland region, is one of Europe's largest trailer manufacturers; the company traces back to a smithy founded in 1892 and today builds box semi-trailers, refrigerated vehicles, curtainsiders and drawbar trailers at several plants across Germany and Europe. Under the neutral Cargobull register line, the register lists versions that could not be assigned to any of the manufacturer's named type ranges.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 6,015 to 10,680 kg, gross weights from 41,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 13,750 to 13,900 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm. With gross weights well above 10 tonnes, all versions belong to vehicle class O4.

Heavy trailers and semi-trailers for long-haul transport operate in this weight and length class, hauling general cargo, pallets or bulk goods over long distances coupled to tractor units or as drawbar trailers behind heavy trucks; Schmitz Cargobull is among the market leaders of this segment in Europe.

When buying used in this weight class, check axles, the braking system and tyre condition, the chassis and kingpin or drawbar for wear and corrosion, the body and tarpaulin or sideboards, and, on vehicles with a lift axle, the operating-hours history; spare parts and service run through the dense Schmitz Cargobull workshop 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.
