Smulders – other models: the collective page of semi-trailers outside the named ranges from the Dutch Carrosseriefabriek Smulders, 4.5 to 9.9 t unladen weight, 20 to 44 t gross weight
This page gathers the semi-trailers of the Smulders brand that the register could not assign to a named range. One of the model names reads Carrosseriefabriek Smulders – Dutch for bodywork factory Smulders – identifying the maker as a Dutch bodybuilder. The remaining types carry codes such as OL 2.18/1D, AL 3.20/2D and OL.3.27/2DU. Semi-trailers from this maker are uniquely identified in the Dutch vehicle register through official registration numbers and chassis numbers.

The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 4,520 to 9,880 kg and gross weights from 20,000 to 44,000 kg. Some models carry lengths from 11,800 to 13,410 mm, and all of them widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
Semi-trailers of this size are standard vehicles of European road haulage; in the Netherlands they are recorded in the RDW registration data. The consistent type logic of a letter code and number sequence shows a clearly structured modular programme. Semi-trailers from Dutch bodybuilders are common in cross-border road haulage between the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
Buying used, check for rust on the frame, chassis rails and fitted components, the condition of axles, brakes and the overrun brake device, the tightness of the body and tarpaulin, and tyres and lighting. Parts for axles, brakes and couplings run through the general commercial-trailer parts trade. A service book and inspection history give additional insight into maintenance condition and accident-free use.

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.
