Burtenbach, 14th November 2012

The German trailer manufacturer Kögel will be presenting its portfolio for the forwarding company and construction sectors at the bauma exhibition inShanghai from the 27th to the 30th November 2012 on stand 102 in Hall W2. Kögel will be using the bauma in China to introduce product innovations from the brand that has been renowned in China for more than 20 years. The exhibition presence also gives utterance to the recently agreed cooperation with the Weichai Holding Group Co. Ltd. The Kögel Cargo bestseller will be the highlight on the stand: It has impressed the forwarding company sector with its extensive level of standard equipment: This includes, amongst other things, a sliding roof which you can also slide to the rear for complete loading from the front to the rear.

Kögel Cargo: High payload as a result of its low tare weight
The Kögel Cargo also offers low tare weight, large available volume and a high vertical load. The trailer tips the scales at approx. 6,000 kilogrammes. This makes it ideally suited for heavy duty transport. The profiled ladder-type frame is designed for 44 tons. The Cargo has an overall length of 13,950 millimetres, total width of 2,550 millimetres and has an overall height of 3,995 millimetres. In addition, the trailer being shown at the bauma exhibition in Shanghai is fitted with Ro-Ro equipment, with four pairs of heavy-duty lashing rings, for accompanied marine and ferry transport. As with all Kögel vehicles, the entire vehicle frame on the Kögel Cargo has long-term corrosion protection by nano cathodic dip-paint coating and subsequent painting.

Optimal load securing
Kögel demonstrates how best to secure the load with its Cargo models. The Cargo models have the load-securing certificate DIN EN 12642 XL. In addition, the trailers are equipped with a VaroFix external frame with 13 pairs of lashing rings, which permits virtually infinitely-variable lashing of the cargo.
