Schmitz Cargobull SKO 24

The register lists 128 versions with unladen weights of 5,840 to 11,960 kg, permissible gross weights of 22,000 to 54,000 kg, lengths of 11,360 to 17,430 mm and widths of 2,500 to 2,600 mm.

The S.KO reefer is, alongside the curtainsider programme, the second mainstay of Schmitz Cargobull and competes chiefly with Krone and Lamberet for temperature-controlled distribution of food, beverages and pharmaceutical goods across Europe. Unlike the curtainsider, the fixed box body provides an unbroken cold chain and can be fitted with partitions for multi-temperature operation.

On a used reefer, what counts is the condition and operating hours of the refrigeration unit, the seal of roof, doors and insulation panels against moisture ingress, the condition of the tail lift and curtains, plus the brakes and axles; parts for the unit and body are readily available through Schmitz Cargobull's dense service network.
