Full-tarp superstructure
NOTE
Material damage due to improper re-
moval of posts!
Incorrect removal of the posts can cause
the roof to sag and cause material dam-
age to the superstructure.
► Take only one pair of posts out on
each side of the vehicle.
KRONE trailers with a full-tarp superstruc-
ture have a one-part curtain.
Fig. 6-38:
Full-tarp superstructure
Posts limit the load compartment space at
the sides on trailers with a full-tarp super-
structure. For the full-tarp design, posts are
normally of the fixed type (not movable).
Furthermore, aluminium or wooden plug-in
laths can be used to reinforce the lateral
load compartment limiter. The trailers can
be equipped with board walls. The roofs
are designed to be either sliding or fixed
roofs.
Depending on design, the full-tarp can be
folded-up simultaneously with the sliding
roof, or be rolled-up or folded-up separ-
ately on the fixed roof.
6.3.1
Centre posts
!
WARNING
Risk of accident from falling loads due
to unsecured posts!
Inadequately secured posts can lead to a
loss of load and can therefore cause injur-
ies and material damage.
► Lock and secure the posts before
travel.
Removing the centre posts can greatly fa-
cilitate loading and unloading. The board
walls are locked on the centre posts as
well as on the corner posts. The plug-in
laths are seated in the lath sockets of the
posts.
