Schmitz SCF – container chassis from Horstmar/Altenberge: 18 versions, unladen weight 3,300 to 5,860 kg, gross weight 24,300 to 39,000 kg, length up to 13,150 mm
Schmitz Cargobull builds container chassis among other trailers at Horstmar/Altenberge, listed in the register under the designation SCF. These semi-trailers carry swap bodies and ISO containers instead of a load bed of their own; type suffixes such as SCF 24 G-45'EURO or SCF 24/L-40 GOOSENECK use 40' and 45' to mark the container length in feet and GOOSENECK to mark a lowered frame for raised containers.

The register lists here 18 versions with unladen weights from 3,300 to 5,860 kg, gross weights from 24,300 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 9,400 to 13,150 mm and widths from 2,420 to 2,550 mm.
Container chassis of this kind are essential in intermodal transport between port, terminal and consignee, because they let the same semi-trailer be used for different container sizes and weights. The large number of versions reflects the different container lengths, axle counts and locking systems used in European combined transport, where the same tractor unit may work with several such semi-trailers in the course of a single day.
When buying used, check the condition of the twist locks and container locks, the chassis and side rails for distortion from overloading, the axles, brakes and air suspension, and the function of the landing legs. On gooseneck versions, also check the lowered section of the chassis for cracking, since that is where the highest loads occur.

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.
