Towing device
A slim drawbar makes for a tight turning circle and, in turn, an ultra-compact vehicle. With a wide range of different hole patterns available, we can provide all tow hitches.
- Cushions jolts on poor roads for a smoother ride
- Designed with rubber silent blocks that have good inherent damping
- By simply switching over the locking pins, multiple trailer heights can be set (55 to 90 cm with standard tyres)
- The vehicle is equipped with a bottom hitch coupling, this results in much better handling and improved road safety
Small turning circle
The slim design of the drawbar makes for a very large steering angle and significantly reduces the turning circle. With the optional positive steering, the adjustable collision protection guard can be tailored to the tractor.
Chassis
For our chassis we use only rectangular tubing made of high-grade steel that is sealed all round; no cheap pressed steel or welded constructions. The large-volume rectangular tubing saves weight, is extremely torsion-resistant and has no open joints or cracks, making it easy to clean. Visually too, it makes a good, clean and neat impression.
Running gear 24 t parabolic suspension
Parabolic suspension with 24 t load-bearing capacity. With a widened spring centre to guarantee optimum stability. The spring packages are always fitted on the axles to provide large ground clearance.
Axles
BPW axles with automatic slack adjusters, axle cross-section 120 x 120 mm, track width 1.95 m, wheel brake 410 x 120 mm, 10-hole wheel end 10.0 t single axle load at 40 km/h
Tipping cylinder
Large telescopic cylinder, held with a gimbal ring that absorbs all torsion from the cylinder during tipping
Two-way tipper design
Body tipper designed as two-way tipper. Side-tipping body tippers combine the robustness of a backwards tipper with the flexibility of a side tipper.
Due to the fixed welded centre post and the continuous top frame, the bodies are extremely stable and torsion-resistant. This frame design also creates the ideal configuration for attaching a hydraulically operated tailgate to ensure grain tightness and guarantee stability.
The two side panels are mounted using a pivot mechanism and can be opened from the bottom with a heavy-duty central locking mechanism. The side panels are totally smooth on the inside, allowing the load to slide out unimpeded. Due to the design with the central post and top frame, the side panels are integrated into a solid outer frame, a guarantee for long service life, distortion is practically impossible.
Two-way tippers are a very popular solution today. They can usually be tipped to the rear and to the left. The right-hand side is manufactured as a closed side panel, just like on standard body tippers. This substantially enhances torsional stiffness, particularly with very long bodies or with an uneven load. Cleaning is also easier as there are fewer moving components, joints and cracks.
Belly strap
The belly strap transfers the forces produced during tipping from the underbody structure to the top frame. The belly strap is welded all-round, preventing an ingress of moisture. The side panels are manufactured from a single piece. Maximum stability is obtained thanks to the multiple folding of the metal sheets. The top frame is made from all-round sealed rectangular tubing 80 x 100 mm and neatly and robustly seals off the body.
Lighting system
High-end 3-chamber rear lights with impact-resistant lens; all lights feature LEDs; secured by a stable light support with “pitched roof” to prevent the accumulation of dirt.
Hydraulic tailgate
A hydraulically operated tailgate with automatic closure and integrated cut-off valve is a must for any modern body tipper. A typical innovation from Krampe that many market competitors have now also adopted. A simple bit of kit that is extremely effective! The two locking hooks automatically open and release the tailgate when it is tilted. To close the tailgate, this process is done in reverse: the tailgate lowers, the locking hooks slide back into place and press the tailgate over the curved track and onto the trailer side. The hydraulic cylinders are retracted when the tailgate is closed on BigBody tippers. The side pivot bearings in the lift arm do not protrude above the upper edge of the top frame, but are flush with it instead. This eliminates the risk of them being damaged during loading.
