Krone extends Swap Liner by 8cm
By Jim Gibbins - 1st November 2020
Germany – Werlte-based Krone Commercial Vehicles SE has extended its Swap Liner semi-trailer by 8cm, which allows it to transport two 7.45m swap bodies. Last year, amended traffic regulations for this combination in Germany increased the maximum permissible overall combination length from 17.80m to 17.88m. According to Krone, compared with a rigid truck plus drawbar trailer, this trailer combination saves about 1.5 litres of fuel per 100km.
The chassis features the patented hybrid frame neck with a neck height of 85mm, which allows operators to use cost-effective and durable 315/80 R 22.5 tyres on the drive axle while ensuring precise compliance with the maximum overall height of 4.0m with swap bodies with a corner height of 2.75m. Permissible total weight remains at 40t.
