Digital natives – Schmitz Cargobull S.KI tipper semi-trailers are digital pioneers for the construction site

This saves both customers and workshops time and money. Via the TrailerConnect® portal, the status of the tyres and the entire trailer can be monitored in real time. In the event of anomalies, alarm messages are sent by email, SMS or notification in the beSmart app for drivers, or in the beUpToDate app for fleet managers and dispatchers. The TrailerConnect® beUpToDate app also offers a real-time overview of the most important fleet data, and shows the location of trailers on a Google Maps-based fleet map in the telematics portal.

Upgrading to the CTU Pro telematics hardware activates additional functions, such as the read-out and transfer of EBS operating data, the TrailerConnect® brake pad wear indicator and the on-board weighing system that can be controlled via the beSmart app. Extra optional safety features include the tilt angle warning function, which issues an acoustic and visual signal to warn the driver of an unfavourable lateral tilt angle, and also the tipping angle warning system, which warns the driver when the body is tipped. The automatic deceleration function also comes into play here. While the vehicle is moving and the body is tipped, the semi-trailer is automatically braked, thereby increasing occupational safety for the driver and helping to avoid accidents.

The following options are also available to increase efficiency and enhance safety. If the pneumatic underride guard is fitted, the sensors record the driving and unloading position, which means that the underride guard can be operated safely from the driver’s cab. The electric sliding tarpaulin, which is also available for high-volume bodies, reduces the risk of accidents for the driver as it can be opened and closed with the user-friendly, time-saving remote control function. This means the driver no longer has to climb up to open or close the tarpaulin. Better body lighting while driving at night increases safety and comfort when it’s dark. Cargo and rear area cameras are optionally available for increased work safety.

The cargo area camera provides a convenient overview of the load in the body and reduces the risk of accidents by allowing the driver to track the loading process from their cab. The reversing camera provides an overview and protects against ramming damage when tipping or reversing, reduces impact damage and improves road safety. Equipped with the additional off-road traction help, the S.KI tipper semi-trailer is ideally equipped for off-road driving and easier to pull away in the snow, sand or mud.
