Krueger is an industry leader in the innovation of semi trailer solutions for the transport industry. With over 30 years experience in the industry, Krueger has developed many new innovations in their semi trailers, as a result of extensive research and development and in producing customised solutions for their customers. Krueger’s experience in technical development and manufacturing has lead to an extremely versatile trailer with a unique range of features, for the ultimate in operational performance.

Krueger developed the load restraint curtain to improve freight containment with this unique design that eliminates load shift without the need for conventional gates. It is constructed using lightweight, high strength materials with carbon fibre sections integrated into the curtain structure. It has been fully tested with single pallets & double stacked pallets and meets and exceeds the government requirements for side load restraint which means strapping down the load with loadbinders is optional for uniform pallet cargo.

Utilised as a reverse logistics solution for Woolworths in 2008, the Slide-a-Gate has changed the way freight is carried in the supermarket chain. With today's high fuel costs, this alternative freight carrying solution offers greater productivity and efficiencies. The Slide-a-Gate allows both palletised freight and roll cages to be rear dock loaded, as it forms a solid wall with no gaps, which is pallet jack and forklift-friendly. The innovation is also load restraint rated and incorporates a load restraint system internally for restraining roll cages. The Slide-a-Gate allows reverse logistics, so that freight can be unloaded and loaded through the side of the trailer as well as the rear.

In the interest of safety, Krueger designed and developed the Slide-a-Gate patented system. This system eliminates the time, effort and OH&S issues associated with removing the trailer's side gates during unloading and 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.

Since the release of the original Prairie Wagon, Krueger launched a Mark II Model in 2004, which offers further productivity gains. The new design includes inverted tie down lashing rails, along the 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.

The ultra low-neck skeletal was developed and built for Toll SPD in 2003, with requirements for their 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 skeletal gooseneck design had to be further reduced to produce the ultra low-neck skeletal.

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

Developed and built for FCL Interstate Transport Services back in 1998, to move a 62’ (19 metre) container from the rail head to FCL’s depot, with built-in flexibility to allow it 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 in 1997, 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 in 1997 to give operators flexible loading positions, with the advantage of dock loading or unloading the 1x20' ISO container. The lead skeletal 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, ensuring that the maximum legal axle loading capacity is achieved over the entire B-Double.

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 was developed by Krueger, specifically designed and 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, which match or are even better than any competing products.

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 have a 100% reduced amount of water entering through the side curtain under bad weather conditions.

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 109 tonnes. E.A. Rocke and Krueger made transport history with the release of the world’s first quad axle super B Double!

The sliding side post was developed back in 1987, 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 first introduced in 1985 on the 40' retractable skeletals, 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 folds out of the way, allowing the sub frame to retract forwards, giving complete access to the 1x20' centre container.

The retractable Skeletal was developed by Krueger back in 1984, in an effort to allow operators to carry heavy containers without exceeding the maximum allowable capacity over the suspension, whilst giving them total flexibility in sliding the suspension forward and dock loading the container.

Krueger developed the Twistlock raiser block in 1979, to offer a flush floor and to allow pallets to be loaded two wide. Prior to the development of a Twistlock raiser block, the Twistlock was exposed above the floor level and restricted the usable amount of floor space on the trailer.
