Schmitz Cargobull SCS 24 – collective page of curtainsider semi-trailers with the 13.62 code for the load-space length in metres, 22 to 42 tonnes gross weight, standard width 2.55 m
The SCS 24 range is Schmitz Cargobull's classic curtainsider line, from the maker founded in 1892 in Altenberge near Münster and today Europe's largest semi-trailer manufacturer. S.CS stands for Schmitz Cargobull Curtainsider, the code 24 denoting, by the maker's logic, the range within the tarpaulin semi-trailer family; the number 13.62 often attached in model names such as SCS 24/L-13.62 EB gives the load-space length in metres, while further codes such as EB, MB, DB or COIL mark equipment details such as the side-board and stanchion version or the coil-well fitting for steel-coil transport.

The register lists here 72 versions with unladen weights from 4,050 to 22,980 kg, gross weights from 22,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 10,760 to 14,000 mm and a uniform width of 2,550 mm.
Schmitz Cargobull is by a wide margin Europe's leading semi-trailer supplier, serving alongside curtainsiders the refrigerated, box and tipper segments as well; the SCS range is among the most widespread tarpaulin semi-trailers in European long-haul transport and competes directly with Krone, Kögel and Schwarzmüller.
When buying used, what counts is the condition of the tarpaulin and roof bows, the function of the stanchion pockets and lashing points, corrosion on the frame and side members, the condition of the braking system (usually disc brakes with EBS) and the air suspension; on coil versions, the condition of the coil well as well. Spare parts run through Schmitz Cargobull's dense service network and the independent semi-trailer parts trade.

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.
