VRAC PLUS designs not only tanks but also their semi-trailer chassis. These chassis are custom-made, allowing us to control the entire project.

 

The VRAC PLUS semi-trailers benefit from full European type approval, allowing registration throughout Europe.

 

Our frames are made of high-grade HLE (high elastic resistance) steel to ensure robustness, despite the mechanical stresses encountered in our industry.

 

The 3-axle VRAC PLUS semi-trailers are capable of transporting up to 29 T of products (GVWR of 44 tonnes).

 

 

axle configuration

 

The SAF axles, fitted to the majority of VRAC PLUSchassis, come with a 6-year/1 million km off-road warranty. This warranty guarantees the durability of your semi-trailer.

The axles on a 3-axle semi-trailer can be adapted to your specific requirements and operational constraints:

 

3rd liftable axle ^:

For many years, this configuration has allowed for a reduced wheelbase by raising the third ^axle under load. This configuration combines economy, reduced maintenance costs, and improved access to livestock farms.

 

3rd tracking axle ^:

This configuration helps reduce tire wear by limiting the slippage of the 3rd ^axle .

 

3rd steering axle ^:

VRAC PLUS has been equipping semi-trailers with this device for over 20 years. It consists of a steering axle that can be steered using a hydraulic system. The third ^axle can be steered from the cab or via remote control. This system further improves access to farms.

 

2nd and 3rd ^{directional axles} V+V:

VRAC PLUS is the only bulk tank manufacturer to offer and install this dual directional system for improved maneuverability.

 

 

 

The wheels are hydraulically steered via electronic control. A sensor on the fifth wheel measures the angular displacement between the tractor and the semi-trailer to gather information. Based on this measurement and the semi-trailer's speed, the steering is optimized.

This orientation can be imposed with the radio control during difficult maneuvers.

 

A wide range of options

 

 

VRAC PLUS can also offer a 2-axle chassis with 2 steering axles.

To further facilitate accessibility, all VRAC PLUS chassis are equipped with a raise and lower control. By using these controls, the mechanical suspension allows the chassis height to be increased by 8 cm. The STABILITY option of the EBS control units, available on our chassis, also enhances driver safety.

Numerous options are available: chassis galvanization, innovative systems allowing access to EBS data, tire inflation, ALCOA aluminum rims…

 

Modular and customizable, VRAC PLUS also adapts the tank's dimensions to your operational constraints and specific requirements. Our bodies can be adapted to your height, length, and volume requirements.
