Germany – Berger Fahrzeugtechnik GesmbH, based in Radfold, Tyrol, Austria, used the Transport Logistic trade show in Munich earlier in June to launch a lightweight semi-trailer for metal coil transportation, as part of a new generation of ‘Performance’ trailers with curtain-sided bodies fitted by Schmitz.
With a coil trough measuring 8,200mm in length, Berger’s ‘PerformanceCoil’ is designed to carry steel and metal coils with diameters between 800 and 2,100mm. The curtain-sided trailer offers a payload of up to 27.5 tons while starting at an unladen weight as low as 4.8 tonnes. With S700 fine grain steel and a special frame design, Berger’s chassis offers “maximum stability with a minimum unladen weight”, according to Schmitz.
