Spitzer SK – tipping-type silo semi-trailer range from the long-established German manufacturer: 17 versions from 34 to 40 tonnes gross vehicle weight
Spitzer Silo-Fahrzeugwerke was founded in 1872 by Johann Spitzer, initially for the commercial building of agricultural vehicles, and is today a German manufacturer of silo vehicles for powdered and granulated bulk materials such as cement, lime, plastic granulate or animal feed, headquartered in Elztal-Dallau. The SK range denotes Spitzer's tipping-type silo semi-trailers; type numbers such as SK 2442, SK 2760 CAL or SK 2766 CAL indicate the respective tank volume, while suffixes such as CAL, ZI, AL or PVC mark equipment and tank construction.

The register lists 17 versions of the Spitzer SK with kerb weights from 5,100 to 8,700 kg and gross vehicle weights from 34,000 to 40,000 kg. Lengths range from 10,300 to 14,040 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
With a low kerb weight combined with a high gross vehicle weight, the SK ranks among the high-payload silo semi-trailers used by building-material dealers, cement works and feed logistics operators for transporting large quantities of bulk material.
When buying used, the silo tank should be checked for corrosion and dents, the tipping axle and its hydraulics for tightness, and the venting and discharge flaps for function; the condition of the axles, brakes and frame is equally important. Spitzer offers spare parts and service at its Elztal-Dallau site.

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.
