INNOVATING FOR YOU – The IAA exhibition fleet from Fliegl Trailer
Curtain sided semi-trailer complete package in RoadRunner Coil Greenlight
With a number of modified fitted elements and well designed detailed solutions, Fliegl presents its new generation of curtain sided semi-trailers at the IAA. Above all in the areas of handling, practical use, weight and safety the revised trailers collect additional plus points. As a representative of the new curtain siders, Fliegl exhibits the RoadRunner Coil Greenlight in lightweight configuration at the IAA.
Fliegl services the high demand for robust, economic and variable utility vehicles with the Greenlight series. Using the new, weight-optimized Greenlight trailers, reduces fuel consumption diesel costs and CO2 emissions. Hauliers benefit from increased long-term efficiency and more effective transport fleet utilization.
The RoadRunner Greenlight Coil is available from an unladen weight of about 6000 kilograms. Fliegls Greenlight series can carry a payload of up to 29 tonnes and a cargo plus of up to 800 kilograms when compared to models of other manufacturers. The new coil cover is for example, now available with 15% less weight. It consists of a reduced number of individual cover modules, which can be lifted with little effort. The trailer has new 80 x 50 mm thick Coil supports to securely hold the load. They save weight and can be universally deployed, for example in the stanchion pockets on the outer frame. Depending on requirements they can also be slotted into each other and attain double the height.
Because of the optimized cargo capacity of the Fliegl Greenlight series the payload can be significantly increased. This means a clear increase in the efficiency of each trailer and delivery tour, as well as attractive savings on fuel and operating costs.
The IAA RoadRunner Greenlight Coil is equiped with the Fliegl Quick Lock System, making it even more efficient and economically competitive. The completely mechanical tarpaulin central locking system is ideal for semi-trailers, which are loaded and unloaded several times a day. The principle: A shaft with hooks is mounted under the loading platform. Loops on the tarpaulin fasteners are simply located into the hooks, then by means of a centrally mounted lever in the vehicle, the shaft is rotated, the hooks then pull the loops downwards, bringing the tarpaulin under tension. Prior to unloading all fastenings can also be opened in one go, simply by rotating the shaft in the opposite direction: All fastenings fall from their hooks leaving the tarpaulin free to be moved. In this way the Quick Lock system delivers a time savings of up to 50 % when being opened and 33% when closed - the functional and uncomplicated handling help reduce the standing time of the curtain sided semi-trailer to a minimum.
“Future movement” for utility vehicles at the 65th IAA in Hannover: With the trailer program from Fliegl on exhibition stand C27 in hall 29 and the open area K22.
