Trailers for modular timber construction - powerful, maneuverable, flexible.
The future is modular construction. Our trailers pull along.
From the construction site to the production hall - serial timber or modular construction is in vogue and for good reason. The combination of sustainability, independence from the weather, maximum time savings and a high level of prefabrication makes it the preferred construction method for residential buildings, extensions and temporary space solutions. This goes hand in hand with the increasing demand for reliable logistics solutions for module transportation: after all, what is precisely manufactured in the hall must be brought to the construction site just as safely and efficiently. This raises a crucial question for carpentry and timber construction companies: which trailer is suitable for transporting modules?
The requirements
What a trailer must have for module transportation
Modular transports are not for standard solutions. The demands on the trailer are high - both in terms of statics and securing technology. The focus here is on
Long, flat loading area
The most important requirement: an absolutely flat loading area, ideally long and low. This is because timber construction modules are transported in their full dimensions - often several meters long, very high and with a maximum width of up to 3.5 meters (50 cm overhang allowed on each side).
Sufficient load-bearing capacity
The weight classes of the modules can vary greatly. A module transport trailer must therefore have sufficient load capacity to transport even heavy prefabricated timber modules without any problems.
Module construction trailers - our flagships for module transport
Invest once, have all the options. Our modular construction trailers are real all-rounders and transport everything that needs to be transported to your construction site. The large load-bearing trailer platform and the low pick-up height are the main features.
Whether modular construction or element construction, joinery, long material, extra-high timber stud or solid wood walls. Our trailers can be upgraded to a swap-body system at any time with the appropriate platform platforms. You always remain completely flexible and decide for yourself how and what you want to transport.
The advantages of auwärter modular trailers at a glance
- Maximum maneuverability
- Telescoping capability
- Outstanding stability and driving comfort
- Precisely fitting safety features and weather protection
- Low mounting height of the modules
- Optional: electrohydraulic steering axles
- Particularly high value retention
Module protection from A to Z
The modules can be attached to suitable positions using sophisticated lashing technology such as lateral attachment points, cross lashing options, 2x1 lashing rings or heavy-duty lashing rings. Thanks to special container locks, the modules can be additionally supported.
Overwidth and labeling - important aspects for road traffic
Timber construction modules are often wider than standard loads. This requires special precautions for transportation:
- With a maximum width of 3.5 meters - which allows an overhang of 50 cm on each side - most common timber construction modules can be transported.
- Highly visible warning signs (safety package) are mandatory for excess widths. Our well thought-out trailer concept integrates appropriate brackets for this and ensures easy attachment and visibility.
Conclusion: Special trailers for special tasks
Anyone transporting modules needs more than just a loading area or standards - they need a well thought-out logistics system that offers you all the options. Trailers for transporting modules need to be maneuverable and extremely resilient. With the right technology, transportation is not only safe, but also economical - and therefore makes a significant contribution to your success in serial timber construction.
