Schmitz Cargobull S.KI tipper semi-trailer once again awarded ‘Product of the Year’

The robust S.KI impresses with its maximum payload and economic efficiency in demanding construction site applications, as well as its standard equipment with the TrailerConnect® telematics system. Telematics is becoming increasingly important in the transport of bulk goods thanks to intelligent networking and diagnostics, seamless documentation and centralised display and operation. It offers many advantages for operators, making everyday transport in the construction industry safer, more transparent, efficient and cost-effective.

In addition to increased vehicle safety, various monitoring and control functions are included that can be individually adapted to customer requirements. These increase transparency in the fleet and improve planning. 

Standard functions include location tracking, fleet management, data transfer and the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) with an auto location function, whereby Schmitz Cargobull sensors automatically detect the TPMS in the event of a tyre change and assign it to the corresponding wheel position. 
Additional optional functions are available, including the onboard weighing system and brake pad wear indicator for preventing breakdowns and accidents, and increasing cost-effectiveness. TrailerConnect® telematics thus provides the ideal solution for the requirements of the construction industry.
