88 new Kögel 2-axle Mega semi-trailers for Elflein

Kögel Mega with two 10-tonne axles

Kögel’s 2-axle volume semi-trailers, which are ideal for deliveries in the automotive sector, are fitted with a reinforced chassis for 10-tonne axles. As a result, Elflein benefits from a lower tare weight, smoother running thanks to the greater distance between axles of 1,810 millimetres, and lower operating and fuel costs. The loading and unloading of three stacked pallet cages is simple, thanks to the clear internal height of three metres and the standard mechanical-hydraulic lifting roof. This increases the lateral loading height at the front by 600 millimetres and at the rear by 600 millimetres to over three metres.

In addition to the well-known advantages of the NOVUM generation – such as the new air and lighting console on the front wall, which transfers the forces into the frame via the side members, and the new external frame profile, which greatly increases the accessibility of the VarioFix lashing points, as well as the variable lattice pockets – the Kögel Mega semi-trailers have extensive standard equipment. The 13 pairs of lashing shackles, included as standard, are available with grip hooks at the sides for easier handling and have a tensile force of 2,500 kilograms. Mega-trailers are, of course, certified in accordance with DIN EN 12642 Code XL. For use in the automotive sector, the Mega semi-trailer, combined with the necessary customised equipment, such as a pallet stop and a double front wall bulkhead, meets the requirements of the Daimler Guideline 9.5 for load securing.

Customised equipment for Elflein

The semi-trailers also have the Kögel Strong & Go body. This consists of the innovative NOVUM generation body combined with a Kögel integral roof tarpaulin, reinforced with stiffening belts. Thanks to this solution, lattices are no longer required to comply with DIN EN 12642 Code XL and Daimler Guideline 9.5 for the transport of pallet cages and strapped loads. Further customised equipment includes an axle lift for the second axle, toolboxes, LED peripheral lights, LED multi-chamber lights, a load-securing package for 32 lattices, and much more.

Cathodic dip-paint coating: lasting protection from corrosion

On the 88 Kögel trailers, the entire vehicle frame is given long-lasting protection against corrosion by nano ceramic technology and cathodic dip-paint coating, supplemented with a coat of UV varnish.
