New three-axle trailer from Kögel billed as more safe and durable

Kögel unveiled its new, fully insulated asphalt tipper trailer. “We now transport more safely and efficiently than ever before,” said Volker Seitz, head of business development and marketing/communications. The three-axle tipper trailer has a 24 m3 loading volume, a 5 mm thick tipper body bottom, a 4 mm thick wall made of tempered Hardox 450 steel and side walls made from high-strength, 4 mm S700 steel sheets. “It offers load-bearing capacity and durability,” Seitz said. “Resale values should hold

The new Kögel trailer is built for the asphalt market
7223 Kögel unveiled its new, fully insulated asphalt tipper trailer.

“We now transport more safely and efficiently than ever before,” said Volker Seitz, head of business development and marketing/communications.

The three-axle tipper trailer has a 24 m3 loading volume, a 5 mm thick tipper body bottom, a 4 mm thick wall made of tempered Hardox 450 steel and side walls made from high-strength, 4 mm S700 steel sheets.

“It offers load-bearing capacity and durability,” Seitz said. “Resale values should hold high.”

The combination is optimally suited for daily, practical use with asphalt mixtures and gravel. The body of the tipper trailer is fully insulated and equipped with an integrated four-point measuring system and temperature display unit with an optional available printer.

The insulation is based on a thermosetting, high-performance material specially suited to high temperatures up to 200O C.

The tipper trailers maintain the 170 mm extension of the body hang that Kögel introduced in 2014. This removes the need for an optionally attachable chute and the weight that goes with it.

    The stresses placed on modern asphalt and bitumen means that specialist equipment is essential to make sure performance specifications are met. As road traffic increases at a rapid pace and road safety becomes a priority issue, asphalt is put under increasingly higher stresses. For example, road surfaces are subject to compression, flexural tensions and tangential stresses: internal friction, depending on the aggregates, and the cohesion, guaranteed by bitumen's composition, are the two main properties whic

    Hanson UK’s Ingleton Quarry is improving screening efficiency by employing new ceramic lining technology. The facility has taken advantage of the latest developments from Sandvik to improve performance with the replacement of existing quenched steel liners with ceramic inserts. The quarry, located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, had wear problems with the steel wear protection plates used in the screening process. This cut efficiency while the plates were also noisy. In order to address the problem th
