Protection of the rear portal with frequent loading and unloading

Base plates at the rear portal

When a trailer is frequently loaded by forklift, the rearmost base plate is often exposed to increased wear and tear. To protect it, an additional base plate is fitted at the rear portal, extending the service life of the trailer.

Roof

M.CS lifting roof for ease of loading and unloading

Lifting roof

The roof can be raised to increase the side through-loading height. This provides for convenient loading and unloading, preventing damage to the load and roof.

Excellent body strength with the Schmitz Cargobull Safety Roof

Safety Roof

The standard Safety Roof also contributes to the strength of the trailer body. The Safety Roof can be slid forward or backwards and stopped in an open position for loading and unloading by crane.

Transport safely with the Roof Safety Airbag

Roof Safety Airbag

The Roof Safety Airbag (RSAB) improves safety in traffic. When inflated, the RSAB creates a bulge in the roof, causing water to run off and preventing ice formation in winter.

Height adjustment
