Krampe tippers for trucks

Tipping semi trailers with two or three axles have been around for decades. Powering ahead as usual, Krampe takes the next big step, combining its expertise in the manufacture of semi trailers with off-road running gears and flotation tyres with its decade-long expertise in the manufacture of agricultural tippers.

Catering for customers who own an agricultural truck, the new Krampe KS 900 tandem semi trailer tips to the rear and to one side. These heavy-duty trailers run on flotation tyres and give a hitch height of 1,350 mm to 1,580 mm. They will certainly become a familiar sight in Europe on roads and fields in the next few years.

Courtesy of its high payload of up to 26 t, this off-road semi trailer also hitches to a tractor via a dolly to support the haulage chain in the heat of harvest, offering a 9 m long Big Body with a volume of 42.9 m³.

The off-road axles benefit from stronger beams as well as 10 t wheel bearings to take on large-diameter tyres. Another standard specification is the air-suspended chassis, which results in very quiet and comfortable running and increased road safety. During tipping the chassis lowers automatically for added stability. Whether laden or unladen, the standard-fit levelling valve ensures optimum suspension in any situation.

The first tipping semi trailer – Krampe KS 900 – was presented at Krampe's Press and Contractors' Field Day in December 2014. Since that time the trailer has been put through its paces by a local contractor where it lived up to all expectations.
