More about the SMART generation

Equipment packages

  • X-LIGHT

    Greater payload and efficiency due to reduced unladen weight. Saves fuel costs and optimises use of the cargo space.
    Read more

  • KP+

    The reinforced design of the chassis enables a trailer load of up to 18 tonnes to be achieved, meaning that a higher total weight can be used. 4x2 as well as 6x2/6x4 semi-trailer tractors can be used, thanks to the long 8,130 mm wheelbase.
    Read more

  • Reinforced chassis

    And with a reinforced chassis, compact and very heavy goods weighing up to 25 tonnes can be efficiently transported on a cargo area length of only 6m. This makes the S.CS even more flexible when the normal distributed load is not sufficient.

Ramp package Rear

Ramp package Rear package protects rear portal and head frame from damage during loading. It consists of reinforcement of the head frame in the chassis as well as delta steel ramp bars and compressible roller ramp buffers. The compressible roller ramp buffers compensate for vertical movements under load and absorb impact shocks. The trailer body is protected and the impact force is directed into the chassis.
