Chassis
Exceptional handling
Increasing load volumes
and transport speeds necessitate
robust, groundprotecting
chassis.
Pöttinger has made great
efforts in this area. The
answer comes in the form of
wide-tread tyres and a
stable chassis.

Spring suspension tandem axle for 12 or 17 t total weight
The compound suspension optimally distributes the ground pressure over both
axles. When the trailer travels over large bumps in the ground, the force is distributed
over both axles rather than being absorbed by the limit stops. Huge leaf
springs (9 springs) provide the necessary safety. Excellent performance in fields,
on roads, and when entering the drive-in silo. Spring spacing: 43.31” / 1,100 mm.
Pneumatic braking
The 4-wheel pneumatic
brake with automatic
load-dependent braking
system (ALB) controls
ensures safe braking at
high speed and with
heavy loads.
Hydraulic brakes
Hydraulic brakes can be
supplied for some
countries.
18.7 t / 17 t axle (optional)
The axle has parabolic suspension and 560/45R 22.5 tyres.
The jockey steering axle (for 18.7 t / 17 t total weight) protects the tyres and the
turf. Reduced traction
when cornering. When
reversing or driving at
speed, the steering axle
can be locked into place
using a separate
hydraulic fitting.
