Kögel presents its new three-axle flat-bed semitrailer
Munich, 15th April 2013

Perfect for transporting construction machinery

Optimal load-securing, even with extra-wide loads
Kögel set to show off its new three-axle flatbed semi-trailer at
bauma 2013. The welded flat-bed semi-trailer has an impressive
offset plateau, high tapered bed, and low tare weight. This makes it
ideal for transporting diggers, wheeled loaders, construction
machines, and heavy implements. Thanks to a moveable king pin,
the flat-bed trailer is perfect for 2- and 3-axle tractor units.
High-strength fine-grained steel and full-width IPE cross beams
guarantee extremely stable main frame and external frame. The
manually lowerable,
air-suspended rear axle
assembly ensures
enhanced drive-up convenience. The standard bevelled edge at the rear
represents a further advantage that leads to a lower loading height and a
flat drive-up angle of 10°. For use on building sites where there is a
shortage of space, the three-axle flat-bed semi-trailer is also available
with an optional articulated self-steering axle.In addition, the high floor is
secured all round by 400-millimetre foldable drop sides. Where
necessary the drop sides can be removed quickly and easily without the
need for tools. The drop sides can be stored in a covered storage box.
Especially for the transport of tall wheeled cargoes, 2 x 2 wheel recesses
are also available as an option – one pair on the low floor and one pair
between the second and third axles – they include covers and an
integrated closing mechanism.

Optimal load-securing, even with extra-wide loads
An optional three-metre package equips the flatbed semi-trailer to deal
with challenging cargoes requiring extra-wide loads. Also provided are
foldable cantilevers and wooden planking on the flatbed and tapered
floors, as well as extendible red and white retro-reflective warning panels
at front and rear and rotating warning lights. To ensure adequate load
securing, five standard pairs of stake pockets are positioned on the
flatbed, as well as another five pairs of lashing rings sunk into the bridge
floor, with 10,000 kg of tensile force per ring. Recessed into the high
floor are two pairs of lashing rings, with 6,000 kg of tensile force per ring,
and in the external frame there are three further pairs of lashing rings,
with 3,000 kg of tensile strength on each ring.
Lasting corrosion protection
The frame of the 3-axle flat-bed semi-trailer is sand-blasted, primed, and
fully painted. The roll-off ramps are hot-dip galvanised. Optionally, the
frame of the Kögel 3-axle flat-bed semi-trailer can also be hot-dip
galvanised.
The new Kögel three-axle flatbed semi-trailer is available immediately.
