SAF INTRA CD TRAK from SAF-HOLLAND Provides Support on Difficult Terrain

In the live demonstrator at bauma, the SAF INTRA CD TRAK pushes the trailer up the short incline with apparent ease. The third trailer axle is equipped with the hydraulic auxiliary drive: It takes over the full axle load, transfers the complete drive moment and reliably moves the trailer forward. The SAF INTRA CD TRAK shows its strengths in particular on loose ground, when driving up hills and when setting off after tipping – practically at the press of a button, directly from the driver's cab. The system is designed for trailers in the 9-ton standard range which operate on construction sites and landfills. SAF-HOLLAND has been manufacturing the axle as a standard product since the middle of 2018.

Successful presentation at bauma

"At bauma 2019, we wanted to communicate the advantages of the driven axle for construction vehicles in a sophisticated environment. This was highly successful and we are very happy with the exhibition and its results," summarises Alexandre Charpiot, Vice-President Sales OEM & Aftermarket Europe at SAF-HOLLAND. The booth on the North outdoor area was well frequented on all exhibition days. Many national and international customers came to find out about the high-quality SAF-HOLLAND components for construction vehicles. The exhibition team also generated new contacts, provided interested customers with detailed advice and initiated new business deals.

Safe offroad fifth wheels

For fifth wheels for offroad applications, the SAF-HOLLAND Group also proved its competence in high-quality construction vehicle components: The lightweight SKS 36.20 RECOLUBE fifth wheel made from spheroidal graphite cast iron is suitable for imposed loads up to 20 tons. Thanks to the integrated automatic RECOLUBE lubrication pump, the fifth wheels no longer require manual lubrication.

For terminal tractors, SAF-HOLLAND offers the cast steel FW3510-TR fifth wheel. It is ideally adapted to the extreme requirements at port and container terminals, facilitating handling of semi-trailers at ports and in industrial use.

Fifth wheels for difficult transports
The SK-HD 38.36 coupling is specially designed for heavy-duty transports with up to 36 tons imposed load. The robust component is also available as an offroad variant SK-HD 38.36 G with cardanic bearings. The fifth wheel with offroad-capability compensates for pitch and roll movements, which is a special advantage for transports on difficult terrain. SAF-HOLLAND also offers the SK-V 36 slider for its heavy-duty couplings, with an overall height of 150 and 190 mm and an imposed load of 36 t. This enables optimum utilisation of the permissible axle loads and individual distribution of the imposed load on the tractor unit.
