Trailer manufacturer D-TEC introduces its first rigid tipper trailer at
the Agritechnica in Hannover. “The tipper is equipped with an aluminium
body of 58 m³, which can be discharged via the flap, the doors or the
grain chute. This provides more flexibility. With this flexibility, the new tipper
can meet the market demands far better,” says D-TEC director Gerrit van
Vlastuin.
A
low empty weight is always an important priority for D-TEC during the
development of a new trailer. This was also the company’s starting point in the
development of the tipper. Van Vlastuin: “Thanks to years of experience in the
production of container chassis and the application of high-strength steel, we
are now able to introduce to the market a lightweight tipper chassis.
Equipped with an aluminium body, our tipper is the lightest solution in
the market.”
Safety
An
important point of focus during development was minimising the chance of
falling over. “That is why we developed the tipper with a low centre of gravity
and a torsion-rigid chassis with a unique strut concept. The latter greatly
contributes to safety.”
Tipper
for the European market
In its design, D-TEC also took into account the
usability throughout Europe. “We took into account the various markets,
especially in the chassis design and the development of the various bodies. The result is an optimal weight distribution for the various markets,”
Van Vlastuin says enthusiastically.
The tipper is available with a manual covering
sheet or a hydraulically operated covering sheet for
covering the load.
At
the Agritechnica
The new D-TEC tipper can be seen, together with a
D-TEC tank trailer, at the Agritechnica in Hannover. D-TEC, Kraker and
TrailerTec GmbH have a joint stand in hall 23, stand B17.
