BEDUM/KESTEREN
- Vogelzang rolling crane trailers are now available with the EN 12642 Code XL
certificate for load restraint. This eliminates the need to secure cargo up to
35 tonnes with straps. This saves the drivers time, and it is convenient for
the drivers.
The
certificate is available as an optional extra for Vogelzang rolling crane trailers with
load floor lengths of 12.85 metres and 13.15 metres, and side boards of 1 metre
or 1.20 metres high. 'This option allows customers to use our 3- and 4-axle roller crane trailers even more efficiently and safely,' declared Gerrit van Vlastuin,
managing director. 'Moreover, we decided to have the bulkhead certified
separately for up to 35 tonnes payload and provide it as a new standard with
both the rolling crane and road plates flatbed trailer.'
Additional load restraint devices are no
longer needed
Vogelzang enhanced the strength of the
superstructure to secure the goods to be transported on the loading floor
without additional load restraint measures. When the trailer is loaded
form-fitting, the trailer uses the superstructure to restrain the load. This
means that during the trip, the superstructure (bulkhead, plates, stanchions
and crane) absorbs the dynamic forces that occur, which eliminates the need for
additional load restraint devices. Physical tests were carried out on the
bulkhead, side boards, Kinnegrip stanchions and a mobile crane under the
watchful eye of TÜV NORD. Afterwards, TÜV NORD gave its approval for
certification. More than 150 years
The recent certification is another milestone
in the more than 150-year history of the Vogelzang trailer brand. During this
time, Vogelzang has made a name for itself with its highly manoeuvrable and
robust trailers. In 2023, Vlastuin Bedum produces Vogelzang trailers as part of
the Vlastuin Group, which is the parent company of trailer brands D-TEC and
Bulthuis.
