Schmitz Cargobull ZKO 18
14 models in this series
Schmitz Cargobull ZKO 18 – centre-axle reefer trailer of the 18-tonne class: COOL refrigerated bodies in various FP versions, 5.48 to 7.68 t unladen weight, 18 to 20 t gross weight, 9.14 to 11.08 m length
Schmitz Cargobull of Altenberge in North Rhine-Westphalia ranks among the largest trailer and semi-trailer makers in Europe. The ZKO code denotes the centre-axle trailer with a refrigerated body, and the number 18 the weight class around 18 tonnes – a size below the large semi-trailer reefers, coupled to a rigid truck to form a road train. The COOL designation covers Schmitz Cargobull's refrigerated bodies, while the FP suffixes in the model names distinguish equipment variants of the individual vehicles.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 5,480 to 7,680 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 20,000 kg, lengths from 9,140 to 11,080 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
Centre-axle trailers with refrigerated bodies are common in food and fresh-produce distribution, where a rigid truck with drawbar trailer offers more load volume while staying more manoeuvrable than a full articulated combination. Schmitz Cargobull's dense workshop network serves hauliers across Europe, and alongside Krone and Kögel it is one of the leading makers in the reefer segment.
On a used example, the condition of the refrigeration unit and its service records, the tightness of the insulation panels (dents, delamination at the joints), the state of the floor after forklift use, the drawbar eye and drawbar of the centre-axle trailer, axles, brakes and tyres, and the wiring between the tractor unit and the refrigeration unit all count.
