Fantastic success at the biathlon world championships last

Erik Lesser attributed his success partly to his phenomenal skis in
an interview given to the German TV channel ZDF. Naturally these

The Kögel Box dry freight box body, equipped according to the
requirements of the athletes and technical assistants that use it, once
again made a contribution to the success of the German national
biathlon team. The sturdy well-insulated three-axle Kögel Box body
trailer guarantees the service team optimum working conditions even at
extreme outdoor temperatures. The trailer is equipped with several
grinding machines and work stations so that the service technicians can
wax and prepare cross-country skis. The wax truck is also kitted out with
ski racks, changing rooms, and quiet rooms.
Two months ago, at the Heim World Cup in Ruhpolding, technicians and
product managers from Kögel were able to take a closer look at the
Kögel wax truck that had been in service for three years under extreme

conditions and which partly moved on unpaved tracks and could see for
themselves the very good condition of the box body. The truck drivers of
the DSV also gave the trailer a perfect report card.
"This flying visit in Ruhpolding gave the new World Champion Erik
Lesser the opportunity to praise the wax truck for providing the optimum
conditions for preparation of the skis", said Volker Seitz, Director
Communication/Marketing and Business Development at Kögel. "We are
very proud of the fact that, with the Kögel wax truck, we are making a
small but not exactly insignificant contribution to the success of the
German national biathlon team."
