KÄSSBOHRER K.SKS - TIPPER
DESIGN IN BEST QUALITY

Kässbohrer developed the tipper semi-trailer, K.SKS, for the European market, offering the best value in construction sector. Kässbohrer tipper semi-trailer, K.SKS, with its high-strength chassis and upper structure stands for reliability and robustness under the hardest load and road conditions. The robust chassis is manufactured with cataphoretic dip coating (KTL) process offers durability and persistence throughout the economic life of the vehicle. With king pin capacity equal to 11.500 kg and unique upper structure design, K.SKS offers the maximum traction performance on the road and ideal load distribution for road safety.

The V-shaped unique upper structure design, one-touch paving brake system and tilt alert system provides fast and secure unloading. With its strong and durable chassis K.SKS is able to endure harsh environmental conditions such as rough roads and severe temperatures.


K.SCP X – PAPER ROLL CURTAINSIDER
FOR RELIABLITY IN PAPER ROLL TRANSPORTATION

Kässbohrer presents K.SCP X curtainsider, designed and engineered for delicate and high value paper transport offering maximum convenience and safety with its unique floor design and optimal load distribution.

K.SCP X features, twin rails, mounted into the floor. Embedded rolling skates ensure quick and easy loading and unloading operation while preventing possible edge damage on paper rolls.


During transport, paper rolls are horizontally kept in position with the help of steel paper chocks with pins. While not in use, these pins can be stored on the KTL coated and reinforced front panel.

To facilitate the transport of various kind of loads, steel profiles to fill in between the rails are offered. While the fill-in profiles protect the rails from dirt enabling long lasting performance, they also enable the conversion of the embedded rail floor into a flat one allowing for option of the safe transport of non-paper roll goods.
