Steering technology / steering angle

With a steering angle of +/- 60°, the K25 not only
achieves high mobility, but is also a reliable means of
transport for heavy loads: the steering forces of the 2-
circuit steering are generated by means of cylinders and
mechanically transferred via steering links.
The steering cylinders are equipped with a ventilation
system, which is easily accessible from outside.

The steering hydraulics are secured via a pressure-relief

valve. This prevents damage when steering against
resistance, e.g. a kerbstone. All the wheel bogies can be
aligned in one direction thanks to the new, improved
steering geometry. This eliminates the need to turn the
rear chassis. The wheel bogies travel universally in the
same direction, counteracting a possible increasing

transport routes with inclines. The K25 PB can also be hydrostatic drive, lifting and lowering functions, hydrau-
operated as a self-propelled unit or be coupled to lic steering, brake system as well as electrical power

(see graph 3)!
1. As thrust machine: before driving on a critical incli-
ne, the driver starts the powerful 150 kW PPU. As soon
as the tractor no longer has sufficient power to manage
the incline, i.e. the speed drops below 9 miles/h, the
driving gear starts automatically, thus providing suffi-
cient thrust. Once the incline has been overcome, the
additional driving gear shuts off automatically and
speed can be increased again in accordance with the
road conditions (see graph 1).

2. In regular traffic as trailer combination: after

the driving gear is switched off, the drive unit can achie- 6.1

ve a speed of 50 miles/h in the transport combination.

The K25 PB also distinguishes itself through its sturdy
chassis construction, +/- 325 mm axle compensation
and 60° steering angle (see graph 2).

- the “Split Type”

SL
The K25 SL has longitudinal pitch and, as a result,
can be extended into a 3-file combination with the
K25 series. Using additional spacers between the
vehicle halves, for example, means that vehicle
widths of 4000 mm can be realised.
The K25 SL with spacer is the optimum solution in
special cases, for instance when the load requires
better stability due to a high centre of gravity and the
road does not allow a 4-file combination.

SP (Self-Propelled)
- the self-propelled heavy load combination

The K25 series is also available as a self-propelled

heavy load combination. The hydrostatic drive, the
steering and the lift hydraulics in the pendulum axles
are powered by a PPU (PowerPackUnit). The K25 SP
can naturally be coupled to the drawn platform trai-
lers K25.

SCHEUERLE and KAMAG supply PPUs (PowerPackUnit)

of various performance levels to provide the energy
for the hydrostatic drive, the steering and the lifting
7.1
hydraulics in the pendulum axles.

The K25 with PPU can be operated by one person by

remote control. Manoeuvering also requires conside-
rably less space than with comparable tractor combi-
nations. This is a decisive advantage, particularly
when space is tight and for in-house transports. The
PPU can be swivelled upward by 12°, which makes
climbing ramps extremely easy.

Of course, the K25 SP can also be coupled to the elec-

tronically steered modular transporter K25 SPE. The
PPUs can be connected using one data line and, thus,
can be operated using just one remote control.

SPE (Self-Propelled, Electronically Steered)

- the self-propelled, electronically steered heavy load combination

The “tractor” for the K25

The hydrostatically driven and electronically steered

combination vehicle is available in 4- and 6-axle units.
Energy is provided by a PPU (PowerPackUnit). The dif-
ferent steering programmes, such as all-wheel stee-
ring along and crosswise, diagonal steering along and
crosswise, front-wheel and rear-wheel steering as well
as circular steering of a single vehicle or a coupled
combination, make the vehicle extremely manoeuvra-

ble. The steering angle of the K25 SPE is +/-140°.

The K25 SPE is compatible with the entire K25 series.

The highlight: the K25 SPE can be coupled side-by-
side to the electronically steered SPMT3000 modular
transporter from SCHEUERLE.

Made from high-strength fine-grained steel of grade

S 960, the K25 ES has a significantly higher bending
moment in the main beam. This higher bending
moment allows additional coupling of a platform trai-
ler with up to 3 axles after a deck.
In the process, the permissible axle loads are still
observed, thus demonstrating its quality as a giant
among road vehicles. The K25 ES can naturally be
coupled to the SCHEUERLE-KAMAG K25. It is available
as 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-axle platform trailer.
To complement your fleet with K25 ES platform trai-
lers is of particular interest, since higher loads require
additional axle lines which in turn result in higher
bending moments. The combination of types K25 ES, 8.1

K25 and K25 UL allows you to create the optimal

vehicle combination, in accordance with the require-
ments of the bending line (refer to pictogram above).
Thus, the two models ES and UL become the ace for
all carriers.

UL (Ultra Light)

The K25 UL is the light-weight of the K25 series.

Weight and price-optimised, the K25 UL is the ideal
model for configuring a combination in the dead
weight-payload ratio. With a dead weight well below
10 tons (4-axle), the K25 UL is 850 kg lighter per
axle line than the standard K25. It can be coupled to
the K25 as well as to the K25 ES because the
hydraulic system in the axles is the same.
In combination with the K25 and the K25 ES,
moment-optimised combinations with reduced dead
weight are possible at increased payload. This redu-
ces the number of axle lines required, shortens the
8.2
overall combination and, thus, increases profitability.
