Did you know that Kögel has been a specialist in the field of tippers since the 1930s?

Kögel looks back on a long tradition of working with the construction industry. Tipper bodies have been, from the very start, a real Kögel speciality over many decades. Alongside agricultural trailers, the first tipper bodies on trucks, including two-axle trailers, were produced in the start-up period from 1935. During and after the war, the primary demand was for tippers and farm trailers on pneumatic tyres pulled by horse or tractors. In the 1950s Kögel attracted attention with semi-trailers having two independent tipping bridges and a tipping semi-trailer with a steel tipper body.

These were followed in 1966 by the first self-supporting aluminium round tipper body. From the 1970s onwards, tandem tipper trailers and three-axle three-way tipper trailers dominated the production. In 2002 Kögel presented the first component tipper body in a lightweight yet high-strength bimetallic design. This idea of a modular concept was used as the basis for the Kögel 2-axle and 3-axle tipper trailers, having load volumes of 24 m³ and 27 m³ as available today. Thanks to the intelligent joining technology, customers can design their own tippers with various wall and floor thicknesses to match the deployment requirement. The floor and back wall of the Kögel tipper trailer are made from hardened and tempered Hardox 450 steel and the side walls from high-strength S700 sheet steel.
