Krone AZP – trailer from the Werlte commercial vehicle plant: six versions with 9 to 18 t gross weight for distribution traffic
Krone builds trailers and semi-trailers in Werlte in the Emsland region, where the company moved its commercial vehicle production in the 1970s alongside its long-standing agricultural machinery business. The AZP range covers a second trailer line of the brand in the register, where the type numbers on models such as AZP 9, AZP 16 and AZP 18 likewise reflect the gross weight in tonnes, while suffixes such as ZT and ZTL point to forced steering axles and further equipment features.

The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights from 3,850 to 6,260 kg, gross weights from 9,000 to 18,000 kg, lengths from 8,660 to 10,030 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
Lower gross weights than the AZW range make the AZP trailers a typical vehicle for distribution traffic and urban logistics, where manoeuvrability and low unladen weight count for more than maximum payload; competition in this lighter trailer segment comes from makers such as Humbaur and Fliegl among others.
When buying used, check the drawbar and overrun brake, and on forced-steering axles also the steering linkage, for play, as well as the frame and body for corrosion, the brakes, tyres and, depending on the version, the function of roller shutters or tarpaulin; on the shorter wheelbases in this range it is worth watching for uneven tyre wear as a sign of misaligned axles.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
