The KTW 1 has a gross weight of 8,500 kg against an unladen weight of 1,620 kg, giving a payload of 6,880 kg. At a length of 4,280 mm and a width of 2,500 mm, it stands on a single axle, a light chassis that hands over most of its gross weight as usable payload.
With a gross weight of 8,500 kg, the KTW 1 falls into EU category O3, above which an air brake system is typical. A single-axle farm trailer of this payload class suits the transport of bulk goods such as grain, sugar beet or silage, and for use behind tractors with matching pulling power. The single-axle layout keeps the vehicle manoeuvrable in the yard and in the field, but in turn calls for adequate nose weight at the tractor's hitch.
On a used example, what counts is the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, the function of the brake system, the state of the side boards or body, rust on the frame and drawbar, and the tightness of the tipping cylinders if the trailer is built as a tipper. On single-axle trailers of this weight class, it is also worth checking the nose weight at the tractor hitch and the condition of the coupling and its safety catch.
