Special bodies on several levels

Car transporters are special bodies which are used for the transportation of industrial goods. Special bodies are designed for special application fields. Special bodies have been put in place because special kinds of transports were required.

A car transporter is a truck which transports several cars. The plateau vehicle is able to carry cars on up to 3 levels. The car transporter consists of a tractor unit and a trailer. The trailer is close coupled which means that it is very close fixed on the rear axle. Thereby the car transporter has a continuous loading platform. The trailer of the tractor unit can be a single or a double axle. Furthermore they have a single or a twin tire.
Car transporters are available in two versions: open and closed. Closed car transporters have a tarpaulin or metal cover for protecting the loaded vehicles. Usually are car transporters open designed.

A car transporter has different lifting platforms which are hydraulic or driven by a threaded spindle. Therewith the truck can be easily varied in size and height for adapting the different guidelines of different countries. A car transporter is generally applied for the transport of cars. The loading is done first on the highest level after that the vehicles are loaded on the bottom levels. Usually a car transport carries between 8 and 10 vehicles.
Further it is possible to stack the vehicles negatively on the car transporter. This means that the loaded car is fixed and the lifting platform is tilted down. This makes possible to stack a third car between the two first loaded. Here one has to consider that the car on the first place on the upper level has to be fixed in the back of the driver’s cabin.
