Krone says improvements to its double-deck curtainsider semi-trailer include increased stability, better handling, shorter turnaround times and holds more cargo than its predecessor with 62 pallet spaces on two levels.

Krone’s Ice-Protect system prevents ice slabs from forming on the tarpaulin roofs of commercial vehicles, increasing road and driver safety.

The Dry Liner STG is suitable for operation in a long-truck combination (type 3), equipped with a reversing camera, LED side marker lights as well as an air-suspended axle unit with a self-steering axle to allow safe manoeuvring.  

Utilising a modular system, the Krone Multi Safe System has the flexibility to allow a trailer operator to safely secure many different load types including paper and steel coils, sheet metal and palleted beverages.

Costs of production most challenging, says Krone's marketing and sales MD, yet investment continues in production, R&D and technology
