Schmitz Cargobull’s Flexible M.KO OPENSIDER truck body has demonstrated its flexibility for current transport needs as it undergoes upgrades for the Nordic market.  

With the relaunch of the M.KO OPENSIDER truck body, Schmitz Cargobull is presenting a flexible and efficient vehicle solution that supports the rapid handling of goods in inner-city and regional distribution transport.  

For transport operations where access via the rear is difficult, the M.KO OPENSIDER offers a clear logistical advantage with its side access.  

Schmitz Cargobull said that the side-opening design is based on many years of experience and proven folding wall technologies, which have been specifically adapted to current transport requirements in the new M.KO OPENSIDER. 

The fully side-opening doors offer significantly improved access and make loading and unloading easier, especially in narrow or heavily frequented manoeuvring and loading areas, the company said.  

This shortens turnaround times and reduces dependence on specialised loading infrastructure.

The M.KO OPENSIDER combines operational flexibility with a superstructure that is designed for durability and long-term value retention, Schmitz Cargobull said.  

The body is equipped with one of the strongest floors on the market, designed for intensive daily use and offering a long service life with minimal maintenance, it said.  

“The corrosion-resistant stainless steel rear frame and lamp brackets ensure that the lighting components remain securely attached and fully functional over time, contributing to overall operational safety and reduced downtime,” Schmitz Cargobull said of the upgrades. 

With its side folding wall, the M.KO OPENSIDER is also suitable for special applications such as mobile presentations, pop-up stores or event logistics, where quick access to the load and efficient utilisation of the interior space are important, the company noted. 

“Individual items can be removed without having to move the entire load. The even load distribution also contributes to optimum utilisation of the available transport capacity,” it said. 

As well as being suitable for everyday use, Schmitz Cargobull said the M.KO OPENSIDER offers economic benefits over the entire vehicle life cycle.  

“Side-opening bodies generally achieve high residual values and are easy to sell on the used vehicle market. For fleet operators, the M.KO OPENSIDER is not only a robust and flexible transport solution, but also a secure long-term investment,” the company said. 

“With its robust floor, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel components and side open design optimised for daily operation, the M.KO OPENSIDER contributes to low downtimes, predictable maintenance and high residual values.  

“This makes it a reliable choice for transport companies that value efficiency and economy.”
