Three-axle platform trailer to transport vegetable crates

In vegetable cultivation, the transport of the harvest and seed is often carried out using crates or pallets. Kröger Nutzfahrzeuge has developed a three-axle platform trailer to meet these requirements in close cooperation with a large customer. The first prototype was delivered in 2015. After an extensive testing phase and further detail optimisation, the first of four deliveries marks the official market introduction of the new "agroliner PWO402" vehicle type.

The aluminium side panels as well as the centre and corner posts on the agroliner PWO402 can be folded down on all sides and completely removed in just a few steps. It should be pointed out here that no separate lock for the posts is required. This saves both time and maintenance effort. The side panels can be locked using the inset side panel locks. The outer frame of the cargo area is fitted with a forklift collision protection system all the way around. The front wall also consists of an aluminium panel which is fixed in place.

On the platform, which is approx. 9,880 mm long and approx. 2,460 mm wide, there are sufficient recessed lashing points to perform load securing. The load area has room for 24 euro pallets.

The design of the chassis is based on a conventional three-axle centre pivot trailer. If the customer wishes, the platform trailer can be fitted with field-friendly low-pressure tyres, sized 560/60R22.5, and 3 x 11 tonnes ADR axles (technically designed for 105 km/h). This means the track width is adjusted to suit the trailer's low-pressure tyres and also to the tractor's track. Even with the wide wheels, the aluminium side panels can be folded down through 180°.

As an option, the PWO402 can be fitted with side collision protection, double LED 3-unit rear lights, a towing device on the rear or a practical toolbox.
