Product description

Three-axle trailer for large loads

This suspended three-axle trailer offers a loading area up to 10,8 m long and 2,5 m wide, with a payload of 13.470 kg. The reinforced 4 mm steel floor is prepared for fitting stakes, and front and rear load racks are included as standard.

Three axles: more than just greater load capacity

• 18 t permissible gross weight with an unladen weight of 4.530 kg – giving a payload of 13.470 kg.
• Lower axle load. The load is distributed across three axles instead of two, reducing impact on farm tracks, grassland and farmyards.
• Smoother ride. The long wheelbase and parabolic suspension keep the body stable at 40 km/h.

Ready for stakes – one trailer, two jobs

This is what sets this trailer apart from a dedicated bale trailer: The reinforced floor is structurally designed for fitting stakes.

This turns the bale transporter into a timber transporter. The manufacturer offers four configurations for this purpose:

• Front and rear stakes, 4 per side, instead of the load racks
• Front and rear stakes in addition to the load racks
• Additional side stakes, 7 each on the left and right, instead of the load racks
• Side stakes in addition to the load racks

The stakes are 1.200 mm high, spaced 2.324 mm apart, and are fitted with hooks for attaching lashing straps.

What this means economically: One trailer handles bales in summer and timber in winter – instead of having two vehicles sitting idle for half the year each.

Optional hydraulic load restraint

This is the alternative for businesses transporting bales every day.

What it does: The load is secured hydraulically rather than strapped down by hand. For several loads a day, this saves considerable time – and the restraint is consistent, regardless of who is driving.

What it costs – beyond the price:

• The loading area is reduced to 9.695 mm.
• The platform extension is no longer available.
• Stakes cannot be fitted – timber transport is no longer possible.
• The angle of the load racks can no longer be adjusted.
• The unladen weight increases to 5.840 kg and the payload falls to 13.160 kg.

So the choice has to be made early: hydraulic load restraint or stakes for timber – you cannot have both.

4 mm steel floor and raised profile edges

The reinforced floor supports concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines, parked machinery and stacked timber. The raised side profile edges keep the bottom layer in position, preventing it from shifting over the edge when braking.

Foldable load racks

Front and rear, rounded and foldable. The rounded shape makes it easier to slide bales on and prevents the film and netting from tearing.

Alternatives available as optional equipment: fixed load racks, fixed straight vertical load racks, or a version without load racks and platform extension.

Lashing strap holes and optional reels

The lashing points are located on the platform edges and also on the load racks, allowing the upper layers to be secured as well. Two front lashing strap reels are available as optional equipment and make strapping and unstrapping noticeably quicker.

Brakes: three configurations

The standard fit is dual-line air brakes with 300 × 90 mm drum brakes. The following are available as optional equipment:

• Dual-line air brakes with ALB – automatic load-sensing brake force regulator
• ALB Premium

Why ALB matters on a three-axle trailer: There is a difference of over 13 tonnes between the unladen and loaded states. Without load-sensing control, the empty trailer brakes too hard – the wheels lock and the trailer pushes. ALB adjusts the braking force to the actual load.

Parabolic suspension and 40 km/h

The suspension protects the load and chassis – with silage bales wrapped in film, any damaged area means spoiled feed.

For 40 km/h approval in Germany plastic mudguards are required in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, additional mudguards are required behind the front axle. Both are optional equipment.

About the tyres

Diagonal tyres 500/50-17 are fitted as standard. The manufacturer recommends them for typical agricultural use. If you mainly drive on tarmac, radial tyres are recommended – a wide range is available, including truck tyres in 445/45 R 19,5 and 385/55 R 22,5.

Additional equipment

• DE, AT or EU type approval, including documents
• Dual-line air brakes with ALB or ALB Premium
• Hydraulic load restraint
• Stakes for timber transport in four configurations
• Version without load racks and platform extension
• Fixed load racks or fixed straight vertical load racks
• Manual trailer coupling (Orlandi or Pronar)
• Toolbox
• Side underrun protection in accordance with 89/2106/EEC
• Lashing strap reels, 2 at the front
• Plastic mudguards (required for 40 km/h approval)
• Slow-moving vehicle warning triangle
• Spare wheel carrier with winch, spare wheel 500/50-17

Applications

Agriculture and forage production, agricultural contractors, straw trading and bale logistics, forestry and timber transport, biogas plants, equestrian businesses, landscaping and grounds maintenance.

Operating notes

• Confirm the approval route before ordering – the parameters apply to individual approval in Germany.
• Do not use the platform extension on public roads.
• Mudguards are required for 40 km/h approval.
• Hydraulic load restraint and stakes are mutually exclusive.
• Always secure the load – even when it is tightly packed between the load racks.
• When transporting timber, observe the requirements for securing roundwood; the stakes alone do not secure the load.
• Observe the permissible axle loads and the towing vehicle's nose weight.
• Retighten the wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation and regularly thereafter.
• Choose tyres to suit the application.

Frequently asked questions

How much can the trailer carry?

13.470 kg with a permissible gross weight of 18.000 kg. With hydraulic load restraint, the payload falls to 13.160 kg.

How long is the loading area?

9.880 mm, or 10.780 mm with the standard platform extension. The extension is not approved for use on public roads. With hydraulic load restraint, the length is 9.695 mm.

Can I use the trailer for timber?

Yes. The reinforced 4 mm floor is designed for fitting stakes. The manufacturer offers four stake configurations, with a stake height of 1.200 mm, spacing of 2.324 mm and hooks for attaching lashing straps.

Can I combine stakes with hydraulic load restraint?

No. Hydraulic load restraint does not allow stakes to be fitted. The platform extension and load rack angle adjustment are also unavailable.

What does ALB do?

The automatic load-sensing brake force regulator adjusts the braking force to the load. There is a difference of over 13 tonnes between the unladen and loaded states – without regulation, the empty trailer brakes too hard and pushes.

What tractor do I need?

93,6 PS or 68,8 kW is required.

What is required for 40 km/h approval?

In Germany, plastic mudguards in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, additional mudguards behind the front axle. Both configurations are optional equipment.

Which tyres should I choose?

Diagonal tyres 500/50-17 are fitted as standard. For predominantly road use, the manufacturer recommends radial tyres; truck tyres are also available.
