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.

    Studies show the asphalt sector has options for materials use that can lower costs and emissions, as well as increasing the use of recycling One study in the UK led by the Carbon Trust and Lafarge Tarmac has found that low temperature asphalt (LTA) could be used as an alternative to conventional asphalt on roads. Conventional asphalt is made when aggregates and bitumen are bound together at temperatures of between 180ºC-190ºC. However, the trial found that the alternative is able to bond road materia

When it is complete, this will be the world’s largest airport and will be able to handle 150-200 million passengers/year as well as 6 million tonnes of freight/year. This will make the facility substantially larger than the world’s current largest airport, the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which handles around 105 million passengers/year.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
