Solutrans 2011: Kögel Cargo platform trailers – flexible deployment, optimum transport

Lyon, 29th. November 2011

Be it for transporting high volumes, heavy duty, special load-securing or cross-border long-distance transport, Kögel provides the optimum trailer for all deployments with its 2nd generation Cargo platform vehicles. Kögel presents its Cargo platform trailer in a special version for the french market from November 29th to December 3rd at Solutrans 2011, hall 5, booth 189.

Kögel platform trailers are available in various different variants. Be it Cargo, Cargo reinforced, Light, Mega or TIR.

Chassis
All the Kögel trailers at the exhibition are fitted with the recently developed frame system which offers the driver a variety of advantages. The adjustable external frame is also equipped with sliding stakes. The floor of the new Cargo Generation has a high load carrying capacity. The Kögel engineers have equipped the Cargo models with platform pins that can be repositioned for the flexible deployment of 2 and 3 axle tractor units. As with all Kögel vehicles, the entire vehicle frame on the Kögel Cargo has long-term corrosion protection by nano cathodic dip-paint coating and subsequent painting.

Kögel Cargo TIR
The Kögel Cargo, with its customs seal for cross-border long-distance transport, provides high levels of flexibility for forwarding companies because an extra vehicle is not required for customs traffic. The sliding tarpaulins meeting all customs requirements, and complying with "TIR" and EN12642XL, guarantee problem-free customs clearance and rapid passage at country borders. A bracket for a fork-lift truck, mounted on the rear of the vehicle, is available as an option. This ensures that the driver can take along a fork-lift truck or stacker to permit rapid loading and unloading.

Cargo control
Extensive load-securing elements are provided for the Kögel Cargo models. All trailers can, as an option, be supplied in conformance with the Load Safety Certificate DIN EN 12642 XL. A VarioFix external frame can also be provided and this facilitates virtually stepless lashing of the cargo. The Kögel Cargo Paper provides versatile facilities for load-securing for paper roll transport. The roll shape needs additional load securing tools to produce form-locked loading. In addition, the heavy rolls put the floor load capacity to the test. Kögel engineers have addressed this challenge by producing the Paperfix load-securing system. Combination rails recessed in the floor, either aluminium or steel, permit movement of the cargo on pallet rollers which run in the rails to any position on the loading platform without using a fork-lift truck. These also serve as mountings for the securing wedges for the paper rolls.

Kögel, a brand with a tradition going back more than 75 years, and which has achieved first place throughout Europe, is once again at the centre of things with their unmistakable experience and competence. With the takeover of Kögel in 2009, Ulrich Humbaur assumed an active entrepreneurial role which gave the brand the stability and continuity it deserves. This is further consolidated by the very sturdy equity ratio that Ulrich Humbaur has made available to his company. Kögel has rediscovered itself by reflecting on the strengths that made it great in the first place: A passion for transport. Quality characterised by engineering. Innovation which is worthy of this name because it brings relevant customer value. And the reliability of an owner-managed family company with long-term prospects. In addition to its products for the forwarding industry there are now models for the construction industry, not really a new sphere of influence for Kögel.
