Product description
Three-axle trailer with a 13.5-tonne payload
The suspended tridem offers a loading platform up to 10,78 m long and 2,52 m wide, with a payload of 13.580 kg. The reinforced 4-mm steel floor, raised side profile edges and foldable load racks are standard equipment.
13.580 kg – what that means in bales
| Bale type | Weight per bale | Number up to payload |
|---|---|---|
| Straw square bales | approx. 300 kg | around 45 |
| Hay square bales | approx. 400 kg | around 34 |
| Silage round bales | 600 – 900 kg | 15 to 22 |
This trailer really comes into its own with silage bales. With 13.5 tonnes of payload, it can carry a full load of heavy round bales – lighter models in the range reach their limit sooner.
Three axles: more than just load capacity
- Lower axle load. The load is distributed across three axles instead of two – gentler on farm tracks, grassland and farmyards.
- Smoother ride. The long wheelbase and parabolic suspension keep the body stable at 40 km/h.
- Capacity when partially loaded. Even with an uneven load, axle loads remain within limits.
Reinforced 4-mm floor with raised profile edges
- The thicker floor can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery being set down. A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone.
- The raised side profile edges keep the bottom layer in position, preventing it from shifting over the edge when braking or cornering.
Platform extension – also hydraulically operated
The length increases from 9.880 to 10.780 mm. The extension is not permitted for public road use – it is intended for fields and farm premises.
A hydraulically operated version is available as optional equipment. This is the more practical solution if the trailer regularly switches between field and road: it can be extended and retracted from the cab, without anyone getting out and manually repositioning it.
Hydraulic load restraint as a major option
The load is secured hydraulically rather than strapped down by hand.
What it does: When making several trips a day, it saves a considerable amount of time – and the load is secured consistently, regardless of who is driving.
What it costs – beyond the price:
- The loading platform is shortened to 9.695 mm.
- No platform extension is possible.
- The angle of the load racks can no longer be adjusted.
- Unladen weight increases to 5.730 kg, while payload falls to 12.270 kg.
Rounded, foldable load racks
- Front and rear – the load is secured in the direction of travel and at the rear.
- Rounded – bales are easier to slide on and are not torn by sharp edges during loading.
- Foldable – for bulky goods, side loading and space-saving storage.
Alternatives: fixed load racks, fixed straight vertical load racks, or a version without load racks and platform extension.
Lashing strap holes and optional retractors
The lashing points are located on the platform edges and also on the load racks, allowing the upper layers to be strapped down too. Two lashing strap retractors at the front are available as optional equipment and make strapping and unstrapping noticeably quicker.
Parabolic suspension and 40 km/h
- Protects the load. Silage bales wrapped in film are sensitive to impacts – any damaged film means spoiled feed.
- Protects the trailer. Unsuspended axles transmit every impact to the frame.
- Allows 40 km/h. This makes a difference on longer journeys.
For 40 km/h approval in Germany plastic mudguards are mandatory in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, they are also required behind the front axle.
Approval without loss of payload
Even with EU type approval, the permissible gross weight remains 18.000 kg – unlike many related models, this one does not lose payload as a result of the approval process.

Operating notes
- Check the approval route before ordering.
- Do not use the platform extension on public roads.
- Mudguards are required for 40 km/h approval.
- Hydraulic load restraint and platform extension cannot be used together.
- Always secure the load – even when it is tightly packed between the load racks.
- When carrying round bales, ensure they cannot roll; the load racks do not replace lashing straps.
- Observe the permitted height: with load racks, the trailer measures 2.880 mm.
- With an overall length of 12 m, check access routes and turning space in advance.
- 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?
13.580 kg with a permissible gross weight of 18.000 kg – this remains 18.000 kg even with EU type approval. With hydraulic load restraint, the payload falls to 12.270 kg.
How long is the loading platform?
9.880 mm, or 10.780 mm with the standard platform extension. The extension is not approved for public road use.
What does the hydraulic platform extension offer?
It can be extended and retracted from the cab, without anyone getting out. This is useful if the trailer regularly switches between field and road.
How many bales will it hold?
It depends on the type of bale: around 45 straw square bales, about 34 hay square bales or 15 to 22 silage round bales.
Is hydraulic load restraint worthwhile?
Yes, if you make several trips a day – it saves time and ensures consistent load restraint. However, it costs 1.310 kg of payload and just over a metre of loading length, and rules out the platform extension.
What tractor do I need?
93,6 PS or 68,8 kW.
What is required for 40 km/h approval?
In Germany, plastic mudguards in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, also behind the front axle. Both options are available as additional equipment.
What is the 4-mm floor for?
It can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery being set down. A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone.
