Equipment packages

  • X-LIGHT

    Greater payload and efficiency due to reduced unladen weight. Saves fuel costs and optimises use of the cargo space.
    Read more

  • KP+

    The reinforced design of the chassis enables a trailer load of up to 18 tonnes to be achieved, meaning that a higher total weight can be used. 4x2 as well as 6x2/6x4 semi-trailer tractors can be used, thanks to the long 8,130 mm wheelbase.
    Read more

  • Reinforced chassis

    And with a reinforced chassis, compact and very heavy goods weighing up to 25 tonnes can be efficiently transported on a cargo area length of only 6m. This makes the S.CS even more flexible when the normal distributed load is not sufficient.

The Load Spread Program relieves pressure on the rear axle

Load Spread Program

If the semi-trailer is partially unloaded, the centre of gravity shifts and the fifth-wheel loading becomes heavier. The Load Spread Programme (LSP) takes pressure off the rear axle, compensating for the shift of the centre of gravity.

TPMS with autolocation

The tire pressure monitoring system indicates when you need to top up the air in a tire. With autolocation the sensor is assigned to the correct tyre position. The Schmitz Cargobull sensor learns independently and records the tyre pressure and tyre temperature data. With the correct tire pressure, the tires wear less and you save fuel due to the improved rolling resistance.
