Kempf Other models

The register lists 41 versions with unladen weights from 3,260 to 11,080 kg and gross weights from 18,000 to 51,000 kg. Lengths run from 5,350 to 14,000 mm, widths sit in the narrow range of 2,510 to 2,550 mm, close to the legal road width.

With gross weights from 18 to 51 tonnes and an almost uniform width at the statutory limit, the Kempf models count among the heavy trailers for carrying construction machinery, vehicles and bulk goods behind semi-tractors or heavy trucks. The fine grading of axle-load classes lets the vehicle be matched precisely to the permitted gross weight and axle load of the given combination.

On a used heavy trailer of this class, check above all the frame and welds for cracks, the condition of axles, suspension and brake system, and wear on the kingpin or coupling. On tipping versions, also check the hydraulic cylinders and seals. Parts for axles, brakes and hydraulics are available through the truck and trailer trade.
