Schmitz Other models

The register lists 3 versions here with kerb weights from 1,350 to 2,460 kg and gross vehicle weights from 2,600 to 8,000 kg, at lengths of 3,150 to 3,560 mm and widths of 1,270 to 1,470 mm.

Vehicles in this class supplement larger truck fleets in construction and municipal work where manoeuvrability and low kerb weight in tight spaces matter more than high payload; typical fields of use are landscaping, municipal depots, hire fleets and smaller earthmoving firms covering short distances with varying bulk materials such as topsoil, sand, gravel or demolition debris.

When buying used, check the tightness of the tipping hydraulics and ram, corrosion on the load bed, side panels and frame from constant contact with bulk material, the condition of tipping hinges and stops, and the brakes and lighting on the body. Parts for the tipping mechanism and hydraulics are usually available through independent commercial-vehicle and trailer workshops.
