Lightweight and robust, designed for maximum service life and easy maintenance

February 2026 - Schmitz Cargobull has comprehensively reworked the lightweight aluminium body of the S.KI LIGHT tipper semi-trailer. The result: greater robustness, longer service life and simplified maintenance with the usual low unladen weight. The tried-and-tested modular system allows users to select the aluminium box body that suits their individual transport task. This includes bodies for specific applications such as thermal insulation, as well as universally applicable bodies that are suitable for a wide range of transport tasks on construction sites and in agricultural applications.

The design modifications ensure significantly improved body stability, which is reflected in a longer service life and reduced maintenance costs. The redesign of the upper belt and wider contact surfaces for the sliding roof reduce wear and increase the service life of the body and roof. In addition, areas subject to heavy wear have been specifically reinforced, which extends the maintenance intervals. A new, more robust floor connection ensures structural stability even under high loads, and the overlying floor plate further increases the overall rigidity of the structure. The rear area has been functionally revised and specifically reinforced to ensure lasting high stability even under intensive use.
