Schmitz SCB*S3B

The register lists 198 versions with unladen weights from 2,500 to 27,110 kg and permissible gross weights from 16,000 to 47,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 185 of the 198 vehicles and range from 5,250 to 14,070 mm, width for all 198 versions from 2,350 to 2,600 mm.

With a consistently standardised range of curtainsider, refrigerated and rigid trailer series, Schmitz Cargobull supplies hauliers right across Europe, setting one of the reference points in the semi-trailer market alongside Krone and Kögel; the uniformly high minimum gross weights from 16 tonnes upward in the register show that almost exclusively full-scale semi-trailers, not light trailers, are recorded here.

For a used trailer, what matters is the condition and mileage of the axles, usually BPW or SAF, the function of the EBS braking system and air suspension, the tightness and condition of the curtainsider tarpaulin including its tensioning mechanism, and frame corrosion on chassis rails. For refrigerated trailers, also check the condition of the refrigeration unit and insulation, for tank and silo variants the tightness of the vessels; Schmitz Cargobull's dense workshop network makes parts supply notably easier than with smaller manufacturers.
