Schmitz Cargobull SKO – the refrigerated semi-trailer from Altenberge: single- and multi-temperature bodies with FP refrigeration units, unladen weights 4.2 to 12.6 t, gross weights up to 42 t, lengths up to 15.3 m
Schmitz Cargobull of Altenberge in the Münsterland region traces back to a smithy founded in 1892 and is today Europe's largest semi-trailer maker, with plants in several countries. The code SKO stands for the refrigerated semi-trailer (Sattel-Kühlkoffer), the classic insulated box semi-trailer with a refrigeration unit for the temperature-controlled transport of food and pharmaceutical products. The model designations in the register combine the body size (SKO 24 as the standard size, SKO 18 and SKO 20 as shorter versions for distribution runs) with the code of the fitted refrigeration unit (FP ranges in various cooling-capacity classes) and suffixes such as Cool, Express or Exclusive for equipment variants and multi-compartment versions with partitions for different temperature zones.

The register lists here 82 versions with unladen weights from 4,200 to 12,610 kg, gross weights from 22,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 9,543 to 15,300 mm (recorded for 80 models) and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
As market leader, Schmitz Cargobull shapes the European reefer-trailer standard and in the specialised cold-chain segment competes chiefly with Krone, Kögel and specialist reefer builders such as Lamberet and Chereau.
On refrigerated semi-trailers, the condition and operating hours of the refrigeration unit (compressor, the diesel engine of the cooling system), the insulation panels for delamination and moisture, the floor with air ducts for airflow circulation, door seals, and the axles, brake system and frame all count; on food and pharmaceutical transport, the calibration of the temperature-logging system as well. Parts and service run through the dense 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.
