For use in Hungary, Austria and Germany BK Transport GmbH from Schwechat near Vienna uses the three new single-axle swap-body trailer from Fliegl. The Hungarian registered chassis is used to transport vehicle parts and vehicle accessories, mainly under contract from Lagermax.
With one axle, even when fitted with a variety of different bodies, the trailers are very agile and easy to manoeuvrer. For standing stability there is a telescopic rear support. Four container locks with stable booms on a 20 foot base (locking distance 5853 mm) allow 7.15 m and 7.45 m long containers to be transported. The frame is lowered by approx. 1180 mm and raised by approx. 1380 mm. The Frame Height in driving position is approx. 1260 mm, the parking height can be varied between 1220 mm and 1320 mm. With an unladen weight of less than 3000 kg the payload capacity is 7000 kg (1000 kg total weight).
The single axle trailers have an optimal road-toll classification in all countries where they operate. They minimize tyre wear, brake wear and rolling resistance – this means lower fuel consumption and lower operating costs.
Other practical details are: a folding longitudinally adjustable guide, two pairs of removable guide rollers in the front and in the rear and two LED working spotlights (up front between the longitudinal beams and at the rear),they can be switched with the rear light.
