FlexBody TDK18-500 Carrier

FlexBody TDK18-500 Carrier

Flexibility built into the system

With FlexBody, we have developed a vehicle concept that offers maximum flexibility. Body, chassis, length, height and even the running gear can be freely combined – including different tyre sizes. The result is a system that adapts to your requirements and provides genuine choice. FlexBody stands for flexibility, efficiency and future-proof design – and for solutions that fit your needs perfectly. In short: your modular system for every task.

Tandem three-way tipper from Krampe

The TDK represents the larger vehicle series with correspondingly higher payload capacity and greater load volumes. The body is designed to accommodate both tandem and twin-axle running gear. Compared to the EDK, the TDK offers increased comfort. The body platform is overall larger in dimension, enabling, among other things, the transport of standard-sized pallets.

Technology

Coupling options

The tipper can optionally be equipped with a K80 ball hitch for bottom coupling or with a 40 mm towing eye. Thanks to the adjustable drawbar, the coupling can be exchanged if required and the hitch height adjusted. The drawbar height can be adjusted from 55 to 82 cm. A rubber silent block ensures damped towing.

Axles

Robust BPW axles with automatic slack adjusters, 120 × 120 mm axle cross-section, 1.95 m track width, 400 × 120 mm wheel brakes, 10-bolt wheel connection and top-mounted brake cylinders.

Running gear

The equaliser rocker of the running gear on the TDK ensures even weight distribution across both axles and supports stable driving behaviour, even on uneven terrain. Air suspension is optionally available.

Support leg

The standard double-acting hydraulic support leg significantly facilitates coupling and uncoupling. Controlled extension and retraction ensure a secure stand even under load.

Tipping angle

The three-way tipper enables a tipping angle of 51° to the rear and 42° to the side, allowing precise and clean unloading. To switch between side and rear tipping, pins are inserted into the tipping hinge. These are designed in such a way that incorrect use is prevented.

Side walls

The side walls with rolled profiles are an in-house development by Krampe. The folds serve to reinforce the structure while also giving the body a modern design.

Internal dimensions

With internal dimensions of 2.42 × 5.00 m, the load space of the ZDK18 and TDK18 offers sufficient room to securely accommodate up to twelve pallets on the floor. This allows materials and goods to be loaded and transported efficiently. The body runs parallel over the entire length.

Lighting

The impact-resistant three-chamber tail lights are complemented by side marker lights. Clearly visible lighting contributes significantly to safety.

Side wall latch

Cranked levers adapt optimally to the available installation space and therefore remain easy to operate. Rubberised grip surfaces ensure a secure hold – even in frost and wet conditions.

Underrun protection

The underrun protection is COC-certified. The square tube is positioned in such a way that no dirt can accumulate on it.

Seal

The horizontally running stainless steel seal closes the body in a rapeseed-tight manner, is frost-resistant and reliably seals through the pressure of the side wall against the floor plate. The seal is replaceable.

Discharge slide

Available as an option: The discharge slide runs in plastic guides. The lever can be mounted on either the left or right side.
