NEWS & REPORTS Bottom Plate “ in one piece” Another novelty can be found centered in the load area: The heavy-load anchoring rail, which can be clamped in all directions through tiedowns. This is particularly practical for partial loading. Each separate clamping point holds two tons. Complementary sliding blocks can be set, which can also be locked from all sides. “For loading of single-bulk in shortest time with highest security”. This safety bottom can only be obtained from Ackermann, respective patent applications have been filed. Further clamping points are integrated in the outer frame, which encompasses a loading area of 7,100 X 2,480 mm. The side wall stands at 1,000 mm, the front wall is 1,200 mm high. High tech and smart solutions can also be found in other areas of the vehicle. And it is not only weight and security that benefit from this interplay. The special chassis-construction improves the driving stability, and the innovative mix of material reduces resonances. In other words: The trailer is less noisy. In taking the argumentation further, we come across lower fuel consumption and higher environmental compatibility. Ackermann has already delivered the first material trailer.
Ackermann Material Trailer One of the highlights is the one-piece load area, made from composite material. Its covering layer consists of sanded GFK.
