Germany / Italy - Kögel Trailer GmbH of Burtenbach has supplied Gruber Logistics, headquartered in Ora (near Bolzano), Italy, with 60 of its inter-rmodal Cargo Coil Rail trailers and 20 of its Mega Trailer units from the company's latest generation NOVUM range. Gruber currently operates a fleet of 500 Euro 6 tractor units – around 100 of which are operated in a climate-neutral manner with bio-LNG. It has a trailer contingent of more than 1,000 towed units – many of which are equipped for use in combined transport operations. The company already organises 20% of all loads intermodally and is aiming to increase its capability to 40% within two years.

Kögel Cargo Coil Rail Trailers offer a high level of customisation, extensive standard equipment and a low tare weight. They are said to be suited for transporting with high point loads – thanks to the equipment for coil transportation. Load weights of up to 30 tonnes may be applied to 1.5 metres. Gruber uses a coil trough with a length of 7,200 millimetres for coils from 900 to 2,100 millimetres in diameter. A version with a length of 9,000 millimetres is also available as an option.
