Spitzer Other models

The register lists 50 versions here with a kerb weight of 620 to 7,360 kg and a gross weight of 900 to 45,000 kg. Widths range from 2,020 to 2,550 mm, lengths from 8,210 to 14,700 mm.

The wide spread of gross weight shows that the page covers everything from small trailers to multi-axle semi-trailers for hauling bulk goods such as grain, feed or building materials. Such silo vehicles are common above all in agriculture and the building-materials trade, where customers rely on dust-tight, easily unloaded tanks.

When buying used, check silo and tank semi-trailers for corrosion and leak-tightness of the tank, the condition of the discharge flaps and feed augers, and the function of the compressed-air system. On chassis and axles, check the brakes, suspension and frame for cracks; wear parts such as seals, flaps and brake linings are generally available from agricultural equipment dealers. The condition of the silo's internal coating and the ladder or platform used for loading are also worth a look, since both see heavy wear in daily agricultural use.
