Upgrade of EN 12642 XL

Stronger, safer and more secure solution

No loose components

 Always a valid XL certificate

Certified by UIC

Suitable for intermodal transport, also for bulk goods

The superlative of DIN EN 12642 Code XL

The current XL certified trailer (EN 12642 XL) does not meet the requirements for specific industries where the cargo tends to bulge during transport by road, rail or short sea ferry. Our XLS solution has all features of a conventional side curtain and in addition, the unique Mega Huckepack XLS is a structurally stronger and safer trailer to transport cargo such as tires, bulk bags and other loose products. Also suitable for industries such as Automotive, High value goods, Beauty & Care products, Furniture and Air Freight, the XLS solution has great advantages in maximising payload - and reducing the risk of damages and theft.

The trailer can be used a conventional curtainsider trailer, and thus loaded from the side. If maximum XLS performance against bulging is required, pretension is brought onto the side curtain. In this situation the cargo will be loaded from the back. 

For Part Loads a TÜV certified XLS SafetyNet can be used for load securing.

No loose components or horizontal planks

The curtain is fitted with integrated vertical aluminum planks and has become a vital part in the total vehicle construction, suitable for load securing. In fact, throughout the entire vehicle there are no loose components. This has several advantages:

  • It neutralises the risk of the driver not being able to load due to the lack of horizontal planks;
  • XL Certificate is always valid (no parts are missing);
  • No accidents can happen with the removal of planks from height;
  • Not having to remove and reinstall the horizontal planks will increase efficiency by 20-40 minutes per stop!

Making the return on investment a simple calculation. In fact; case study by Ewals Cargo Care shows a 20% efficiency increase by using XLS MegaHuckepack.

Certified by UIC for intermodal transport

Previously, trailers with only a small dent or bump in the tilt were usually rejected by rail operators. Those dents and bumps could be an early sign of a bulging load and thus a risk for rail traffic. Not all dents and bumps indicate loading issues. Goods might be secured perfectly while a ratchet of a strap pushes slightly against the tilt, making it noticeable from the outside. Such and similar cases unfortunately led to trailer rejection. Understandable – as rail operators are “rather safe than sorry” – but often unnecessary with dissatisfied customers as a result. 

These practices now belong to the past! The UIC (International union of railway) has documented trailer constructions that are equipped for loads having the tendency to settle and bulge within the IRS (International Railway Solutions) framework. Such loads (like: tyres, bales of hay or straw, big bags of granules etc.) can safely lean against the sides of the trailer. The curtain, which can be forced inwards before loading, ensures that the trailer will not exceed the legal allowed width - regardless of the type of cargo.
