Krampe has added a push-off trailer to its range with the introduction of the RamBody AS 750, a tandem-axle trailer with a load volume of 41.1 cubic metres.
The development, which comes more than 35 years after the company manufactured its first trailer, was prompted by demand from customers and distributors.
More than two years of development work and about 1,000 hours of testing several prototypes has confirmed the new trailer’s design and technology is ready for launch.
The whole vehicle design follows the objective of launching a well-built vehicle with huge reserves and a high-quality running gear. Besides the standard parabolic springs or a running gear with hydraulic axle compensation, Krampe recommends its proven pneumatic running gear. As a unique selling point, BPW steering axles with overhead brake cylinders are used that guarantee high ground clearance.
The body has been built in a robust jet design, with narrow, slightly inclined stanchions. The lateral sidewalls are bolted and can be removed. The folded outer stanchions ensure extreme body stability and an especially solid appearance. The slim design of the extensions and rear tailgate enables a particularly large loading space width and therefore a high transport volume. All edges have been designed as slants to prevent the build-up of dirt and help ensire no crop remains in the vehicle.
The core of this trailer is the push-blade mounted on a following-on table. The narrow designed tunnel in the centre protects the hydraulic rams from damages. At total of five hydraulic rams provide the powerful feed force and offer large reserves to safely empty an overloaded vehicle.
The push blade has a full-surface lattice look and is covered with a large plexiglass pane providing an optimum view in the loading compartment. The upper 40cm can be folded down as standard. Adjustable seals lock the push blade on all edges and guarantee a grainproof push-off trailer construction.
Extremely powerful LED working lights illuminate the vehicle’s surroundings and create a good working environment even in total darkness. The standard side marker lights increase the safety on public roads, for example when turning.
EU type-approval has in principle become standard for all Krampe vehicles since 2020. This increases the safety on public roads and facilitates homologation and increases the vehicle’s resale value.
The pilot series of the new push-off RamBody AS 750 trailers will be handed over to selected German and international distributors in April 2022. Further sizes rounding off the product range both upwards and downwards are still in development and will be available from spring 2023.
