Press release from: Kögel Trailer GmbH & Co. KG

Kögel Long Truck, variant 3

Kögel Long Truck, variant 3

Burtenbach, 11th April 2012

From a single supplier - Kögel provides approved vehicle combinations for field trials: Kögel Long Truck, Kögel Euro Trailer, and Kögel LongPlex

Kögel offers three different dolly variants for the 25.25 metre long truck for field trials.

Variant one
Kögel offers a normally couplable tandem-axle forerunner device (dolly) with a steered drawbar. In the case of this variant, the first axle of the dolly is positively steered. SAF axles with an axle load of nine tons each are used here. In conjunction with a Kögel semi-trailer, the German "BO-Kraftkreis" regulation on turning circle is met in field trials.

Variant two
Kögel also offers a normally coupled dolly with a rigid drawbar and self-steering trailing axle and trailer. The dolly is equipped with two Daimler axles of nine tons each. To enable the "BO-Kraftkreis" regulation to be met as required in field trials, in the case of this combination the last axle of the tractor and trailer is lifted during travel. This is possible since more than 18 tons of weight is never loaded on the trailer to avoid exceeding the permitted overall weight.

Variant three
The third variant has the same specifications as variant two. The only difference is that the dolly must be coupled down low to a three-axle tractor and the third axle must be steered.

A prerequisite for all variants is a three-axle tractor for accommodating a 7.45 metre swap body.

All three dolly variants and corresponding trailers are now available for order.

Further vehicles approved for field trials
Kögel has the most extensive range of trailers available for field trials for innovative commercial vehicle concepts for the transport industry: In addition to the long truck variants mentioned above, customers can choose a Euro Trailer, which is available in several variants and is extended by 1.3 metres to a total length of 14.9 metres. The Euro Trailer and semi-trailer tractor unit together have a total length of 17.8 metres, thus 7 metres shorter than a Long Truck. Kögel also offers the LongPlex, a semi-trailer for the accommodation of two 7.45 metre swap bodies. Kögel thus has the appropriate product solutions for the most diverse of transporting tasks.

"The fact that after five years, the Kögel concept of an extended trailer is appearing in the product ranges of other trailer manufacturers confirms once more the innovative force of Kögel," says Jonny Böhme, Product Manager at Kögel. "Today, our three different dolly variants again demonstrate the fact that we are once again at the forefront of technology".

Kögel, a brand steeped in more than 75 years of tradition, has earned itself a leading position throughout Europe and is now back in the limelight with renewed energy and an unmistakable blend of experience and expertise. 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 reinvented itself – by returning to the strengths that originally made the company great: A passion for transport, quality characterised by engineering, innovation that earns its name because it brings benefits for customers, and the reliability of an owner-operated family company with long-term perspectives. In addition to products for the forwarding industry, there are now models for the construction industry, which is not entirely a new sphere of activity for Kögel.
