Schwarzmüller TU – trailer range of the Austrian manufacturer from Freinberg in the SpecCodex register: 7 versions with gross weights from 24,000 to 40,000 kg, lengths up to 11,550 mm
Schwarzmüller TU is a range in the SpecCodex register from the Austrian trailer and semi-trailer manufacturer Schwarzmüller of Freinberg in Upper Austria. The models carry designations such as TU 30-100, TU 30/80 or TU 40/400; alongside it the maker runs the separate SPA 3 range, which is not the subject here. The model names combine the build size 30 or 40 with a further number for the axle-load layout, which makes it easier to pick the right variant for the intended load.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 5,480 to 8,540 kg, gross weights from 24,000 to 40,000 kg, lengths from 9,750 to 11,550 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
Schwarzmüller is one of the larger trailer and semi-trailer makers of Central and Eastern Europe; the TU range, with gross weights from 24 to 40 tonnes, covers the span from medium-heavy to heavy trailers, as used in long-distance haulage behind truck chassis.
On a used trailer of this range, the frame and axles should be checked for corrosion and cracks, along with the braking system and the overrun device or coupling, the tyres and wheels and the lighting and electrics; on bodies with tarpaulin or fixed walls, their tightness and fastenings should also be checked. Schwarzmüller supplies spare parts through its own dealer and service 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.
