Schmitz Cargobull Relaunches M.KO OPENSIDER

Horstmar, Germany- Schmitz Cargobull AG., a manufacturer of semi-trailers, trailers and truck bodies, has relaunched its M.KO OPENSIDER truck body, positioning it as a flexible and efficient solution for faster goods handling in inner-city and regional distribution. Built on years of experience and proven folding-wall technology, the new OPENSIDER has been refined to match today’s transport requirements, with a clear focus on accessibility, uptime, and long-term value.

A key highlight is its fully side-opening design, which provides significantly better access to the load and simplifies loading and unloading especially in tight, busy manoeuvring areas. By enabling easier side access, the M.KO OPENSIDER helps reduce turnaround times and lowers reliance on specialised loading infrastructure. For operations where rear access is restricted or impractical, the side-opening configuration delivers a clear logistical advantage.

The M.KO OPENSIDER also combines operational flexibility with a superstructure engineered for durability and value retention. It features one of the strongest floors on the market, developed for intensive daily use and designed to deliver a long service life with minimal maintenance. In addition, a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel rear frame and lamp brackets keep lighting components securely mounted and reliably functional over time supporting safety while reducing downtime.

Beyond standard distribution duties, the M.KO OPENSIDER’s side folding wall makes it suitable for specialised applications such as mobile presentations, pop-up stores, and event logistics where quick access and efficient use of interior space are essential. Operators can remove individual items without shifting the entire load, while even load distribution supports optimal use of the vehicle’s available transport capacity.

Schmitz Cargobull also underlines the OPENSIDER’s life-cycle economics. Side-opening bodies typically retain strong residual values and are often easier to resell in the used vehicle market. For fleet operators, that translates into a robust transport solution that also functions as a reliable long-term investment.

With its heavy-duty floor, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel components, and a side-opening design optimised for everyday operations, the M.KO OPENSIDER is designed to deliver lower downtime, predictable maintenance, and high residual value making it a practical choice for transport companies prioritising efficiency and total cost of ownership.
