Krueger’s newly designed Solid Wall/Slide-A-Gate is set to change the way freight is carried in the super market chain. With today’s high fuel costs, this alternative freight carrying solution offers greater productivity and efficiencies as it allows both palletized freight & roll cages to be rear dock loaded as it forms a solid wall with no gaps which is pallet jack & forklift friendly, as well as being load restraint rated, it incorporates a load restraint system internally for restraining roll cages. The slide-a-gates allow reverse logistics meaning the freight can be unloaded and loaded through the side of the trailer.

Since the original Prairie Wagon was released, Krueger has launched a mark II model, which offers further productivity gains. The design now includes inverted tie down lashing rails full length of the trailer. This benefit allows the operator to now carry freight – two pallets wide which effectively doubles the trailer’s productivity by allowing cartage of all types of palletized cargo to the legal maximum capacity.

Developed and built for Toll, SPD who needed their skel fleet to be adaptable to carry 20’, 40’ and 48’ containers and operate at the current 4.3 metre overall height. To accommodate the 10’-6” container height, the already low profile Krueger skel gooseneck design had to be further reduced to produce the ultra low-neck skeletal.

In the interest of safety, Krueger designed and developed the slide-a-gate patented system. This system eliminates the time, effort and associated OH&S issues associated with removing the trailer’s side gates during unloading and then replacing them, once the freight is loaded. The slide-a-gate system is also load restraint rated up to 27 tonne payload on a typical 45’ curtain sider.

Developed and built for ARN Logistics, the trailer’s ‘convertible’ action sees the entire roof section raise and lower in one smooth parallel movement. This trailer can operate at 4.3m or 4.6m, which effectively allows our customers to carry the maximum cubic capacity one way and maximum payload on the return trip.

Developed and built for FCL Interstate Transport Services, to move a 62’ (19 metre) container from the rail head to FCL’s depot with built-in flexibility to also be utilised as a 40’ and 48’ container transporter. This trailer features the Krueger patented rolling track designed to withstand the most demanding container workloads.

Developed and built for BOC, the Flat Top B Double was specifically designed to transport compressed cylinder gases. The first of its kind in Australia it was engineered to allow for maximum safety in handling a range of dangerous gases in the most efficient manner. The ‘B’ trailer carries a self loading forklift carriage which allows the operator to load and unload safely and efficiently without the need of an extra operator.

This lead trailer was developed to give operators flexible loading positions with the advantage of dock loading or unloading the 1x20' ISO container. The lead skel trailer can move a container to the “rear end loading” position, without the need of forklifts, when two heavy 6.1 metre containers are carried. The lead trailer offers a dual container carrying position to allow for a 25 tonne, 12.2 metre container to be carried on the back trailer to ensure that the maximum legal axle loading capacity over the entire B-Double is achieved.

When the B-Double arrives at the loading dock, a DC motor and worm driven gearbox drives a heavy duty roller chain to link the ‘A’ trailer to the ‘B’ trailer. After the trailers are bought together via an ‘easy glide’ track system and the roller doors are opened, the operator has unimpeded forklift access to load and unload freight along the entire length of the B-Double.

The Road Friendly Suspension is a fully Australian developed air suspension built for Australian operating conditions. This low tare weight air suspension features the 'easy adjustable alignment' enabling wheel alignments to be adjusted in minutes. The suspension also suits any brand of axle and has many low tare features that better or match any of our competitors.

This breakthrough in freight protection offers greater freight protection against water and dust entering between the curtain and pelmet rubbers. Test results clearly show that curtains fitted with the patented seal reduced water entering through the side curtain under bad weather conditions by 100%.

Built for E.A. Rocke, the Krueger Super B Double is capable of transporting 2 x 40’ or 4 x 20’ ISO containers with a maximum payload of up to 108 tonnes. E.A. Rocke and Krueger created transport history with the release of the world’s first quad axle super B Double.

The sliding side post was developed to improve the side opening on curtain siders, offering the flexibility to slide the posts to either end of the vehicle. Previously, all side posts were fixed and could only hinge or pivot outwards.

The folding twistlock pedestal was introduced on the 40' retractable skeletal's, offering the flexibility to carry 1x40' container and also dock load a 1x20' container carried in the centre of the trailer. The folding twistlock pedestal simply folded out of the way and allowed the sub frame to retract forwards, giving complete access to the 1x20' centre container.

The retractable Skeletal was developed by Krueger in an effort to allow operators to carry heavy containers without exceeding the maximum allowable capacity over the suspension, whilst giving them total flexibility and sliding the suspension forward and dock loading the container.

Krueger developed the twistlock raiser block in 1979 to offer a flush floor and allow pallets to be loaded two wide. Prior to the development of a twistlock raiser block the twistlock was exposed above the floor level.
