Product description

Low-loader trailer for a lorry

This three-axle trailer carries around 18 tonnes on a loading area 8.5 m long and 2.54 m wide. Hydraulic loading ramps, 14 lashing rings and a low 900 mm platform make it ideal for transporting machinery; EBS, ABS and BPW axles allow speeds of up to 100 km/h.

Not a tractor trailer – a lorry trailer

This is the key point: this trailer is designed to be towed by a lorry, not a tractor.

  • 24 V electrical system instead of 12 V
  • EBS with ABS on two axles – electronically controlled braking system
  • 100 km/h maximum permitted speed
  • BPW axles and suspension to commercial vehicle standards

900 mm platform height and 15° ramp angle

Together, these are the real selling points.

Why 15° is the crucial figure: Construction machinery with low ground clearance can ground when loading if the angle is too steep – mini excavators with dozer blades, wheel loaders with long overhangs and low-mounted attachments. At 15° and with a 2.200 mm ramp length, the transition is sufficiently shallow.

The low platform also keeps the centre of gravity low – important when transporting tall machinery and staying within the permitted overall height.

Hydraulic ramps with adjustable width

The ramps are operated hydraulically – with ramps of this size, this is not a comfort feature but a matter of work safety. They are difficult to move by hand.

The mechanically adjustable width allows them to be set to the machine's track width: tracked vehicles need different spacing from wheel loaders.

16,5 m² of flat deck plus the gooseneck section

SectionArea
straight section16,5 m² (6.500 mm long)
total20,5 m² (8.500 mm long)
with extensions+ 3 m² each, width 3.000 mm

What this difference means: The 6.500 mm flat section is a continuous level area for heavy individual machines. The additional two metres accommodate attachments, pallets and smaller items.

Floor extensions up to 3.000 mm wide

With the optional extensions, the platform width increases from 2.540 to 3.000 mm.

What they are for: wide construction machinery, vibrating plates, attachments and containers that exceed the standard width.

Please note: Above an overall width of 2.550 mm, regulations for abnormal loads apply. The manufacturer offers a marking kit for this, including a warning board, lighting, brackets and a yellow warning beacon. A steel box with a capacity of around 240 l is provided for storing the boards.

45 mm wooden floor

The floor is made of 45 mm thick softwood. Oak floorboards of the same thickness are available as an option.

Why oak is worth considering: Oak is considerably harder and more resistant to tracked undercarriages and fork tines. If you load and unload tracked excavators every day, it can significantly extend the floor's service life.

14 lashing rings

They are distributed across the floor. With an 18-tonne payload, load securing is no mere formality – machinery must be secured forwards, backwards and sideways, and 14 points allow several individual items to be lashed diagonally.

Winch available as an option

A hydraulic winch with a pulling force of 6.500 kg is available as optional equipment; an 8.000 kg version is available on request.

What it is for: non-running machinery, accident-damaged vehicles and faulty equipment. Without a winch, you can only load machinery that can move under its own power.

Front platform basket in four versions

The platform basket, 500 mm high, is available in four versions – from a simple front wall to a version with two side walls and front and rear retaining walls.

What it is for: It holds tools, lashing equipment, chocks and small items – and protects the load from damage at the front.

Additional equipment

  • Drawbar with Ø 50 towing eye (no extra charge)
  • 45 mm oak floorboards
  • Floor extensions including wooden boards
  • Yellow warning beacon
  • Marking kit for abnormal loads
  • Hydraulic winch with a pulling force of 6.500 kg or 8.000 kg
  • Front platform basket in four versions
  • Steel box, approx. 240 l, for example for the floor extension boards
  • Toolbox, 1 or 2 units, approx. 50 l each
  • Spare wheel with holder

Applications

Construction machinery transport, construction and civil engineering companies, equipment hire, landscaping, local authorities and public works departments, agricultural machinery dealers and service providers, recovery and breakdown services.

Operating notes

  • The trailer is designed for use behind a lorry: 24 V electrical system, EBS, 100 km/h.
  • Observe the axle loads and permissible gross weight of the towing vehicle.
  • Position the ramps securely before loading and adjust their width to the machine's track width.
  • Keep everyone clear of the space between the ramp and the machine during loading.
  • Use the rear support legs when loading and unloading.
  • Secure the load in accordance with load-securing regulations; the lashing rings allow diagonal lashing.
  • For floor extensions exceeding 2.550 mm, abnormal-load regulations apply – observe marking and permit requirements.
  • Check the wooden floor regularly for damage.
  • Have the EBS and ABS read out and serviced regularly.
  • Observe the overall length of 11.500 mm when driving on the road.

Frequently asked questions

Can the trailer be towed by a tractor?

No. It is designed as a lorry trailer: 24 V electrical system, air brakes with EBS and ABS, maximum permitted speed of 100 km/h and BPW axles.

How much can it carry?

Around 18.000 kg, with a permissible gross weight of 24.000 kg and an unladen weight of approximately 6.000 kg.

How large is the loading area?

16,5 m² in the straight section and 20,5 m² in total. The optional extensions add 3 m² each, increasing the width from 2.540 to 3.000 mm.

How steep are the ramps?

15° with a length of 2.200 mm. Combined with the low platform height of 900 mm, the transition is shallow enough for machinery with low ground clearance.

Are the ramps hydraulic?

Yes, as standard, with mechanically adjustable width to suit the machine's track width.

Can I load non-running machinery?

With the optional hydraulic winch: 6.500 kg pulling force; an 8.000 kg version is available on request.

Are oak floorboards worth it?

Yes, if tracked undercarriages are driven on and off every day. Oak is harder and more resistant than the standard softwood.

What should I bear in mind with the extensions?

Above an overall width of 2.550 mm, regulations for abnormal loads apply. A suitable marking kit with warning board, lighting and yellow warning beacon is available.
