KRONE GX AgriLiner 520

Agricultural logistics are facing major challenges. With around 520 million tonnes transported annually, the agricultural sector is the second most intensive transport industry in Germany. The importance of agricultural logistics is constantly growing – as are the requirements.

The industry is currently characterised by the following developments:

• Shortage of skilled labour: It is becoming increasingly difficult to find qualified drivers. Whereas in the past almost any combination of tractor and trailer was sent on its way, today trained drivers and specialised transport solutions are in demand.
• Structural change: The number of farms is falling and collection points are closing, resulting in longer transport distances. There are now greater distances between the remaining farms and the centralised storage facilities, resulting in rising transport costs and longer farm-to-field distances.
• Climate change and ecological requirements: Growing environmental awareness and climate change demand more efficient and sustainable transport methods in order to minimise environmental impact.
• Increasing cost awareness: Rising transport costs require precise calculation and increase the need for cost-efficient logistics solutions.
• Increasing harvest volumes and shortened harvest windows: Advances in crop breeding are increasing yields while also shortening harvest times. This means that larger quantities have to be transported in a shorter time.

KRONE is aware of these challenges and offers customised solutions for every need. Agricultural logistics are diverse and individual – what is transported depends on the specific requirements of each farm. Our expertise and advice are designed to find the optimum transport solutions for a wide variety of goods:

• Different goods: Diverse products require different transport methods. From heavy and free-flowing cereals to sensitive potatoes and beet – KRONE offers solutions which fulfil these requirements.
• Different conditions: Whether short or long distances, roads or fields, narrow access roads or extensive areas – every agricultural environment brings its own logistical challenges.
• By opting for KRONE AgriLogistics farmers are relying on one of the leading specialists in the agricultural transport sector. Our products – from the KRONE GX AgriLiner through to the KNAPEN KX moving floor trailer and Schwarzmüller SX large scale trough – are equipped for every requirement. Together with our partners, KRONE offers the optimum solution for efficient, innovative and professional transport technology.

The new addition to the KRONE AgriLogistics portfolio is the SX from Schwarzmüller. A traditional tipper with a large aluminium trough that convinces with its simple design, high load capacity and reliable technology. The sturdy design and forced lowering ensure maximum tipping stability during the unloading process. Perfect for everyone looking for simple operation, maximum operational reliability and efficient transport services every day under the harshest conditions.

The KNAPEN KX is a first class moving floor trailer developed for large volumes, long distances and maximum efficiency when it comes to agricultural transport. A product designed by Knapen – the leading manufacturer of moving floor trailers – the KX stands out for its maximum load capacity, sturdy design and smooth unloading process via the moving floor. Regardless of whether it is grain, wood chips or silage, the KX moves loads economically, reliably and efficiently.

The KRONE AgriTruck is the element that connects products from the KRONE AgriLogistics portfolio. Thanks to its numerous improvements, the KRONE AgriTruck is equally suitable for use in the field and on the road. The tyres, LoadSensing and ISOBUS, everything on this machine can be adapted individually to your own requirements. This package is rounded off by offering maximum user comfort and enormous potentials to increase efficiency not least owing to the option of an agricultural or forestry licence.

The KRONE GX is a versatile general-purpose wagon that can be used all year round. Whether you are processing grass, maize, beet or grain, the clever system transports practically every loaded material carefully and efficiently. The centrepiece is a large conveyor belt that is securely connected to the moveable front wall. When being unloaded, the belt and front wall evenly pull towards the rear to ensure the unloading process is fast and thorough. A multi-talented solution with a robust design that is well thought-out down to the last detail and is ready to tackle every job on the farm or in the field.

• Flexible operational concept: Can be used all year round for a wide variety of goods to be transported
• Thorough unloading: Conveyor belt and moveable front wall ensure complete discharge
• Speed: Approved to 62 km/h and 2.55 m external width mean that is can be driven on the motorway
• ISOBUS operation device: Intuitive control directly via the terminal in the cabin
• Sward protection running gear: Hydraulic compensation with electronic forced-steering axle
• Maximum efficiency: Fast unloading duration of less than one minute possible

High payloads and large-volume vehicles form the basis for optimised logistics systems. The GX AgriLiner combines these properties and, in combination with the lorry, also enables high transport speeds – for transporting even more tonnes per hour.

In combination with the KRONE agricultural lorry, the GX AgriLiner 520 realises its full potential in agricultural transport. The suitability for the field thanks to large-volume tyres ideally complements the advantages of the lorry on the road, such as driving comfort and fuel efficiency.

Universal application of transport technology is indispensable today. The GX AgriLiner effortlessly meets these requirements – whether transporting grain, silage, root crops or pellets. Its wide range of applications makes it an all-purpose solution and ensures a high level of utilisation.

Thanks to the rapid traverse, the wagon is fully unloaded in just about one minute. This avoids long waiting times and significantly increases efficiency.

The KRONE GX 520 PRO AgriLiner is a real all-rounder for agricultural transport from the field to the road. The GX achieves its full potential when combined with the KRONE AgriTruck: The advantages of driving the lorry on the road, such as operator comfort and fuel efficiency are combined with field suitability, large load capacities and maximum flexibility. The continuous conveyor belt is securely connected to the moveable front wall ensuring the loaded material is unloaded efficiently and fully without tipping. The steerable axles, large tyres and hydraulic compensation ensure the GX is particularly gentle thus protecting the sward as well as slopes and soft ground. KRONE GX is the solution for farmers and contractors who wish to ensure that their agricultural logistic solutions are cost-effective and versatile.
