During the 67th IAA Commercial Vehicles Show that took place in Germany in 2018, Kässbohrer introduced the lightest chemical tanker on the market, K.STC 30. This tanker has a tare weight of 6,400kg and due to that feature, Kässbohrer contributes to providing operational efficiency, enables cost reduction and improves TCO.

Kässbohrer continues to improve its products and services to create minimum TCO for its customers. With design, engineering and alternative material sourcing Kässbohrer are developing lighter yet robust tankers and silos as well as increasing the options portfolio to meet customers most diverse application and operational needs.

As an engineering company, invested in supplying industry with high quality vehicles, Kässbohrer is leading the way in Europe with its bitumen tanker. Back in 2016, Kässbohrer crowned the success of its bitumen tanker with a Trailer Innovation Award, which is one of the most prestigious awards of the sector, and approved its product on a global scale. In 2016, Kässbohrer was recognised with a Trailer Innovation Award in category ‘Safety’ with safety bitumen tanker K.STS, which was developed with Hoyer Bitumen-Logistik.

The Kässbohrer K.STN was designed to minimise the environmental and health risks associated with the transportation of natural waste materials to renewable energy plants. Biogas as an alternative and clean energy source – a diversified energy solution – and as its usage is increasing throughout Europe. The OEM is poised to complement the growth of its safe tanker.

Kässbohrer successfully meets its customers’ operational needs in Germany with its high quality products as well. Tipping silo K.SSK is Imgrund and Wormser’s preferred choice, while Greiwing chooses non-tipping silo K.SSL and tipping silo K.SSK, and Johannes Martens chooses fuel oil tanker K.STB for their operations.

Schenk from the Netherlands added Kässbohrer’s safety bitumen tanker K.STS and Chemical Substance Tanker K.STC to their fleet., too. Meanwhile, in Austria, Riedel opted for a non-tipping silo K.SSL.

Additionally, TIP operating in multiple countries, has non-tipping silo K.SSL, tipping silo K.SSK and bitumen tanker K.STS in their fleet and trustfully renting them to its customers.

In order to continue to offer high-quality products, in 2013 Kässbohrer established a welding academy to train competent certified welders by theoretical and practical training to maximise the quality of craftsmanship and to produce vehicles at international norms. As a result of this approach, in the last six years, 472 employees have received 642 certificates that are internationally valid.

At the academy, Kässbohrer not only trains production employees but also provides training for its after sales teams. By the end of the training regime, participants have to pass the test in order to receive their welding certificates that are approved by independent companies. The facilities include real-time welding machines as well as simulation equipment that complements education on Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding techniques via 3D virtual reality. www.kaessbohrer.com bauma.kaessbohrer.com
