Trailer BIG BODY series

Packing it in

These models offer payloads of up to 22 t for on-farm applications and a gross weight of 16-24 tonnes at 40 km/h.

Unrivalled driver comfort

Superior operator comfort and enhanced road safety comes from pneumatic suspension, which is standard specification on the Big Body 790 and an option on all models from Big Body 650 onwards. Enjoy the comfort that comes from our refined technology.

Steadfast

Big Body 650 and all highercapacity models feature a hydraulic rear axle support system as standard specification.

If specified with a pneumatic chassis, the body will automatically lower onto its rear axle during dumping. The hydraulic running geer has two sensor valves that block the oil flow between the chassis rams.

More than thirtyfive years of experience

The Big Body design has proven itself thousands of times in a great variety of applications and has often been copied because of its outstanding dependability.

Viable indeed

Our biggest Tandem-axle body tipper offers a capacity of up to 42 m³.

Lowered platform

The smaller Big Body 460 and 540 models have their platform and hence their centre of gravity lowered by 80 mm to increase the machine’s stability both during road transport and dumping. In order to maintain the good ground clearance, we moved the springs and mounted them on top of the axles.

Big boots

Few manufacturers offer as large a choice of different tyre brands and sizes. We offer sizes of up to 30.5” for our high-capacity body tippers.

Ultimate stability in rough going

This machine has parabolic springs fitted as standard specification which offer a load rating of 36 tonnes. But we also offer pneumatic suspension and hydraulic axle levelling systems. Let us take your order and we will fit the high-quality chassis that suits your needs.

Outstanding stability

A hydraulic chassis guarantees superior stability, which is important on models with high-centred bodies and closely spaced parabolic springs. A large suspension travel translates into outstanding off-road mobility, which results in a consistent and uniform wheel pressure for great ground hugging as well as a low draft requirement.

Let’s get serious

Available with a length up to 9.80 m, this body boasts immense capacities. Our biggest Tridem body tipper offers a 50.1 m³ load area and a gross weight of 34 t while travelling at 40 km/h, depending on its axle base and permit.

Steering

Tridem trailers have two steered axles as standard specification. Traditional caster-steer axles involve the risk of unstable running in fast road travel or downhill operation – a risk that is eliminated by forced-steering axles which we recommend.

Shunting made easy

Reversing a Tridem trailer while its axles are locked is not an easy task, because the machine will roll only in a straight line as if it were running on tracks. If reversing around bends is part of the job, we recommend the use of a forced steering system which actively steers the machine around the corner as it is being reversed. Giant payload Krampe Tridem body tippers offer a whopping payload of approx. 28 t for on-farm use.

Optimum balance

Payload and empty weight are balanced to an optimum ratio. This applies in particular to the Tridem models.

Steadfast

All our Tridem body tippers have a 2.15 m track width and steered front and rear axles as standard. All our axles are sourced from BPW and ADR (‘Black Bull’).

Powerful

A high-capacity hydraulic ram delivers the tipping power that suits the job just right.
