Through continuous innovation and the expansion of its advanced testing and validation infrastructure, Kässbohrer sets new industry standards in safety, efficiency, and durability, reaffirming its leadership in engineering excellence.

In its 5th anniversary participation at Solutrans, Kässbohrer will proudly launch a new vehicle as well as exhibit pioneering examples from its comprehensive product range: K.SSL, Europe’s lightest and most efficient non-tipping silo series, K.SLS HS, the new benchmark in safe and flexible machinery transport fixed low-bed; K.SHG AVH, Award-winning “Octagon-On” container chassis for efficient container transport, and K.SRI C, the new standard reefer series, efficiently meeting the exact needs of its customers. 

Kässbohrer’s Solutrans exhibition vehicle, the non-tipping silo trailer K.SSL 38, is Europe’s lightest silo, making a difference with its lightweight design, stability under various road conditions, fast and efficient unloading, and high safety functions. With refined design and wheelbase, the K.SSL 38 provides high manoeuvrability even under challenging operating conditions.

Kässbohrer’s non-extendable 3-axle low-bed semi-trailer K.SLS HS 3 is equipped with a hydraulic gooseneck ramp and a self-steering last axle, setting the new benchmark for safe and flexible transportation of telehandlers, scissor platforms, forklifts, backhoe loaders, and finishers. Constructed with high-strength S700MC steel, the K.SLS HS 3 combines robust durability with lower tare weight, enabling reduced fuel consumption and emissions while delivering higher payload capacity. Its hydraulic gooseneck ramp ensures fast and safe loading, while the self-steering axle provides exceptional maneuverability in narrow job sites and urban environments.

Kässbohrer’s Solutrans exhibition vehicle, the front and rear extendable gooseneck container chassis K.SHG AVH, is engineered for multifunctional and safe operations, ensuring optimum load distribution for containers ranging from 20 ft to 45 ft. Designed to deliver stable and precise transport performance, the K.SHG AVH enables reliable handling even when carrying 20 ft rear flush containers. Equipped with Kässbohrer’s patented octagonal central frame design, winner of Trailer Innovation Award- Chassis category, the chassis eliminates torsional problems leading to vehicle damage and increases structural durability for longer vehicle life. Manufactured with high-strength S700 MC steel, in compliance with ISO 1726-2 and ISO 1726 standards, and treated with cataphoretic dip-coating (KTL), the K.SHG AVH provides maximum robustness and corrosion resistance. For operational efficiency and safety, the K.SHG AVH is equipped with a user-friendly pneumatic locking system at the rear extension, ensuring easy handling and secure operation under all working conditions.

Kässbohrer’s exhibition vehicle, the new standard reefer K.SRI C, is built on a 1,000,000 km-tested gooseneck-integrated chassis with a strong one-piece king pin, ensuring long-life robustness under all road and loading conditions. It’s precisely connected GRP panel structure provides top-class 0.31 W/m²K insulation, while the state-of-the-art air circulation system guarantees equal airflow for single-deck, double-deck, and multi-temperature operations, supporting fresh, frozen, and pharma transport. With an inner height of 2,650 mm, an inner width of 2,460 mm, and a tare weight of 7,200 kg, the K.SRI C is FRC, Pharma, HACCP, and Code XL certified, and compatible with telematics of choice.
