Robust semi-trailers for severe working conditions

Weight-optimised Miller semi-trailer with heat insulation

The demand for intelligent semi-trailer innovations for every weight class remains extremely high. The Munich tipper specialist has the appropriate answer to this, evident in the heat insulated semi-trailer it is exhibiting at this year's bauma trade fair.

Meiller semi-trailers are the perfect expression of efficient, sustainable operation, thanks to intelligent weight reductions and reliability due to high overload reserves, impressive initial lifting capacity and the low overall centre of gravity. In addition, long guides reduce the tendency of pistons to buckle, thus lowering the stress on hydraulic components. A further new feature is the sliding rail system for tarpaulins which will ensure that trailer operation is much safer in future – even in strong winds.

The optional tipping alarm also ensures safety, as the system warns the driver when the semi-trailer is on an incline and safe tipping cannot be guaranteed. This means that unnecessary risks or time-consuming inspections can be avoided. Tyre pressure can also continuously be monitored and transmitted to the cab. The driver can therefore confirm at any time that the trailer is moving in accordance with regulations. This communication between the tractor and trailer ensures that transporting tasks realised with Meiller semi-trailer variants are much easier for the driver and safer for all road users.

Efficiency also plays a central role in the Meiller product portfolio. The weight reduction achieved ensures even more efficient and ecologically friendly operation of the trailer while maintaining a consistent payload. Future thermal bridges are also avoided through high-quality heat insulation, a feature that also ensures consistently high temperatures when, for example, delivering asphalt to road finishers. Moreover, a precise measuring technology means that the temperature can be continuously monitored. On the one hand, this ensures convenient and safe operation and, on the other, allows the driver to deliver the material to be transported at the desired temperature and in the required quality.
