Timber

Safe on rough terrain!

Short and long logs ranging from six to 22 metres in length pose significant challenges for the driver and the drawbar trailer.
Narrow and steep forest paths and sodden soil are examples of the challenging conditions. Highly manoeuvrable two to four-axle trailers in the form of self-steering trailers, semi-trailers or drawbar trailers are used in these situations. These can be split into two categories: Payload-optimised trailers for moderate off-road use as well as road use and off-road capability for forest use with overload capability of the chassis in the forest, then reloading at the edge of the forest for regular road use (often with the same trailer).

TRANSPORTING HEAVY LOADS WITH EASE

The axles, brakes – both disc and drum versions – and suspension systems that are specially designed for timber loaders reflect more than 100 years of BPW development expertise. The standard DIN ISO roller bearings contribute to the long life expectancy of BPW rigid axles. That is because the wheel hubs can be easily removed from the stepped bearings. Thanks to the innovative central bolt with integrated torque limiter, the play of the bearing is always set correctly.

In addition, the ECO Plus bearing arrangement for nine to twelve tonnes of axle load simplifies service measures due to its identical parts, such as the axle nut and the roller bearings.

SAFER AND MORE AFFORDABLE AT EVERY TURN

Semi-trailers for transporting timber have their manoeuvrability put to the test, especially in forested areas. With axle loads of nine to twelve tonnes and steering angles of up to 27 degrees, self-steering axles from BPW contribute significantly to excellent manoeuvrability. The LL indicates that this model has load-dependent steering stabilisation. Wave-shaped thrust washers and the tracking function are used to keep the wheels in the lane when driving straight ahead. When cornering, they then steer the vehicle according to the radius of the bend. The permissible ratio of rigid axles or positive steering axles to self-steering axles of 1:1 paves the way for versatile chassis solutions.

BRAKE CYLINDERS FROM BPW.

In a brake system, the optimal interaction of the individual components is of the utmost importance. The brake cylinders play a decisive role here, because they have to ensure perfectly dosed power transmission in the braking system. Brake cylinders from BPW are further proof of our comprehensive expertise when it comes to brakes. As a system supplier, our product range includes diaphragm and spring-loaded cylinders.

  1. Continuously high quality controls such as dimensional inspection, release pressure test, function test on the vehicle, vibration test, dirt test, fatigue strength test with over 1 million braking cycles, cold and heat test (-40 °C to + 80°C), Force output check
  2. Significantly improved sealing due to flare technology
  3. Optimum corrosion protection of the housing components due to high-quality coating process
  4. Long service life of the spring due to double coating
  5. Easy to assemble due to compressed air connection extension (standard for spring brake cylinders for disc brakes)
  6. For drum brakes, no external return spring between slack adjuster and base plate required

 

LIFT AXLES, REDUCE COSTS

Vehicles with several axles can be optionally equipped with an axle lifting device (axle lift) to protect the tyres when driving empty or with a low load. BPW offers axle lifts for central or side positioning.All BPW axle lifts are compatible with the Auto-Drop system. It automatically raises (when unloaded) or lowers (when loaded) up to two axles on a three-axle unit.

  1. Reduced tyre wear
  2. Low dead weight
  3. Higher traction of the drive axle due to starting aid
  4. Compatible with Auto-Drop-System (automatic lifting and lowering)
  5. KTLZn-coated metal surfaces
  6. Two-sided axle lift:
    - Robust design with proven brake cylinders
    - Assembly without welding (also for retrofitting)
    - Easy to retrofit without changing the vehicle frame

 

ARC - THE SMART AUXILIARY STEERING FOR THE SELF-STEERING AXLE

Due to its function, the advantages of the self-steering axle have so far only come into play when driving forwards. When driving backwards, the steering mechanism is locked and the axle remains rigid. With ARC (Active Reverse Control), you can now also benefit from the advantages of a steering axle when driving in reverse. Because with ARC, BPW has developed an electrohydraulic auxiliary steering system that steers the steering axle fully automatically when reversing at a speed of up to 10 km/h. This increases agility and manoeuvrability. This increases the agility and manoeuvrability of your vehicles when reversing and reduces time and tyre wear!

  1. Efficient completion of transport tasks due to improved manoeuvrability in narrow streets
  2. Not subject to registration - complete solution from a single source
  3. More payload due to the lower system weight compared to conventional steering systems
  4. Easy installation thanks to the plug and play solution with factory-prepared axles and preset software
  5. No adaptation of the vehicle frame, no sensor on the kingpin required
  6. Works fully automatically, but can optionally be operated manually

MEASURING MILEAGE WITH THE BPW ECOMETER

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE

Turntables enable 360-degree turning movements by means of two steel rings that are connected to each other by means of ball bearings. BPW turntables are used where vehicle construction places the highest demands on design and material. Compared to conventional single-row systems, BPW turntables differ due to the quality feature of the double row of balls: The design superiority is that the additional second row of balls ensures optimum distribution of the axial and radial forces that occur.

  1. Permissible axial load 5 to 30 t
  2. Optionally drilled or undrilled- Greatest possible safety, as the acting axial and radial forces are transmitted separately to the two rows of balls
  3. Ready for extreme conditions: The highest quality is achieved through special material selection and special manufacturing processes. The steering rim profiles made of high-strength steel are cold-formed, butt-welded and calibrated.
  4. The ball raceway is strengthened by the load-bearing balls under load.
  5. The interior is permanently protected against dust and dirt by a labyrinth seal.
  6. The corrosion-resistant paint (RAL 9005) is weatherproof, impact-resistant and guarantees a high level of surface
  7. protection with 504 hours of salt spray testing.It can serve as a primer for subsequent overpainting.
  8. The sum of all advantages ensures reliability, smooth running and the longest service life
