This Dinkel is a used low loader semi-trailer — sometimes referred to as a lowbed or step-frame trailer — designed to carry heavy, oversized, and low-profile loads that require a reduced deck height for legal or practical road transport. Dinkel is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing heavy-duty semi-trailers and special transport vehicles serving the construction, plant hire, and industrial machinery sectors.
The trailer rides on a four-axle arrangement, with all steel components sandblasted and the main frame constructed from high-strength fine-grain structural steel, electrically welded at all joints. The gooseneck area features a special construction designed to maximize the usable low-bed length, and the outer frame is generously dimensioned throughout. The four axles are SAF/Sauer units each rated at 10,000 kg, giving a combined axle capacity of 40,000 kg, and all are fitted with drum brakes in low-loader specification. The third and fourth axles are friction-steered trailing axles with both electrical and mechanical locking. The first axle is liftable, with fully automatic operation, and the air suspension system operates in ECAS configuration with raise and lower capability and a total stroke of approximately 230 mm. Point load capacity in the gooseneck area is stated at approximately 30,000 kg over approximately 4,000 mm.
Braking is handled by a WABCO pneumatic system with EBS to EC standard 71/320/EEC, including a PREV park-release safety valve, spring-brake cylinders as the parking brake, and a Wabco Smart Board with odometer and aggregate load display. Twin tyres in size 235/75 R 17.5 are fitted across all sixteen wheel positions, and electrical wheel holders are included; no spare wheel is supplied.
The sliding tarpaulin superstructure is self-supporting, built around an aluminium roof bow profile of approximately 120 × 100 mm with plastic flap closures. The roof can be raised mechanically by approximately 400 mm and can be operated from one side only without opening the opposite side or doors; an additional height adjustment of approximately 480 mm is available in approximately 40 mm increments via the stanchion system. Rear stanchions are extendable to approximately 4,200 mm, with three sliding stanchions per side fitted with rubber tension relief. The front bulkhead is designed as a shelving system in a rounded, closed format (Variant 3.1) and includes a forward rain cover allowing travel under the tarpaulin up to an overall height of approximately 4,400 mm. PVC sliding tarpaulins are supplied in a colour similar to RAL 9006 silver, and the roof sheet is translucent, configured for overwidth and overheight use with flat hooks, tarpaulin folds, and ratchet-style closures.
The floor in the low-bed area is approximately 27 mm special waterproof-bonded beech plywood with a rough surface, forklift-compatible to DIN standard, flush with the outer frame, with steel sheet in the wheel arch areas. For lashing, four rows of flush-mounted lashing rails run longitudinally beside the outer frame and longitudinal beams, including adjustable load-securing wedges with storage in a floor box at the gooseneck. The outer frame carries approximately 64 lashing points rated at 2,000 kg, 3,000 kg, and 10,000 kg respectively, with a load-securing certificate to Code XL in conjunction with diagonal lashing and the sliding tarpaulin. Surfaces on the loading ramps and smooth steel parts in the low-bed are anti-slip coated.
The ramp system consists of double electro-hydraulic loading ramps with grated decking and hydraulic supplementary support, with both ramp actuation and rear stanchion widening operated by radio remote control. Overwidth signage boards are fitted front and rear in hot-dip galvanised, steplessly telescoping form with limit lights and sockets for rotating beacons. Side underrun protection is anodised aluminium. Lateral stacking aluminium boards are provided in four rows on each side. Other included equipment comprises an ECAS air suspension control at the trailer, a telescoping socket for a rotating beacon at the rear left, four stanchion adapters for the special outer-frame profile, a PVC tool box, and a ferry hook
