    T-pole chassis

    Flexible options for different trailer concepts

    T-pole chassis are available as unbraked 750 kg versions, as well as braked variants, some of which are height-adjustable. The range extends up to a permissible gross weight of 3,500 kg. A 2,000 kg version with a frame, for example, is designed for enclosed bodies such as sales trailers.

    A-frame chassis

    Low-loaders and high-loaders for various body types

    A-frame chassis cover a wide range of applications. Low-loader versions range from 750 kg for single-axle models to 3,500 kg for tandem chassis. Depending on the design, they are suitable for applications such as motorbike transport, horse boxes, car transporters or enclosed bodies. High-loader chassis for transport trailers are also available up to 3,500 kg.

    The bolted AL-KO VT lightweight frame system reduces weight in non-critical frame areas. Individual frame components can be replaced during servicing.

    Steerable chassis

    For passenger transport and internal goods transport

    Steerable chassis with a frame are available for passenger transport with permissible gross weights of 3,500, 5,400 and 7,200 kg. The trailers follow closely in the towing vehicle’s track. For internal transport, AL-KO VT also offers steerable chassis without a frame rated at 1,200 kg or up to 6,000 kg.

    Frequently asked questions about trailer chassis

    The specific structure depends on the version. The chassis frame, axles, towing connection and braking components form the technical basis. The body type, floor construction and frame must be matched to one another.

    The payload depends on the specific chassis, trailer body and overall trailer configuration.

    Key factors include the body type, required gross weight, floor dimensions, axle configuration and tyres. AL-KO VT recommends coordinating the chassis frame design closely with the vehicle manufacturer.
