With TAPA 1-2-3 certifications, Bergwerff invests in lower emission trucks and when the time came to invest in the efficiency of its intermodal operations, Bergwerff chose Kässbohrer as its partner.

Bergwerff's Operations & Security Manager Kevin Bergwerff said, “We have been in the transportation business between the Netherlands and Italy for more than 40 years. We see our customers' requests as a challenge, and when our customer asked for more efficiency and less carbon emissions for their tire transport needs, we said yes. To ensure the speed and quality of the intermodal operation, we chose Kässbohrer's robust, tire transport certified and fast operating huckepack XLS side curtain trailers. We are satisfied with our choice, as is our customer with our performance. We are happy to take on this challenge in cooperation with Kässbohrer, because they also deal personally with the wishes of their customers.”

No side planks required

Kässbohrer has developed its K.SCS M as a mega semi-trailer with sidewalls to optimize the challenges of just-in-time delivery. Chassis is robust and suitable for any road condition and is protected against corrosion with its KTL coating, which is covered by a 10-year warranty against rust perforation. The intermodal configuration with train load supports for intermodal transport increases overall efficiency and is the perfect choice for eco-conscious fleets. 

The special XLS curtains offer EN 12642 XL certification without the need to install side planks between the center pillars, making access to the load easy: the side wall can easily be opened, allowing the loading process to begin faster. Because no side planks are required, the risk of losing them is also eliminated, saving the driver both time and energy during the loading process. For increased load security, the vehicle can be equipped with options such as anti-theft.
