This Schmitz Cargobull ZWF 18 is a used log trailer — sometimes referred to as a timber trailer or bolster trailer — built specifically for the transport of cut timber and logs. Schmitz Cargobull is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of semi-trailers, curtainsiders, and specialist transport equipment, serving the road freight and forestry logistics industries across a wide range of configurations. This example dates from 2011 and is located at Gassmann GmbH in Bovenden, Germany (postal code 37120).
The trailer is configured as a tandem two-axle unit running on two SCB axles rated at 9 tonnes each, giving a combined axle capacity of 18 tonnes. Both axles are fitted with disc brakes and an ABS anti-lock braking system, providing strong and controlled stopping performance. The suspension is air-sprung with raise-and-lower functionality, allowing the ride height to be adjusted for loading and road conditions.
For timber carrying, the trailer is equipped with four pairs of stanchion bolsters — the upright stakes that secure and contain log loads during transit. A notable practical feature is the adjustable length: the loading bed can be set anywhere between 6 and 7.5 metres, making the trailer adaptable to varying log lengths and load configurations.
Safety and compliance equipment includes front and rear support legs, side aluminium mudguard protection, a protective underrun guard, and a fire extinguisher box. The trailer is described as roadworthy. It is listed at $12,900.
