Krone now offers its tried and tested GX transport system in combination with an Agro Truck. At the DeLuTa Contractors trade fair in Bremen, Germany, Krone presented the GX 520 AgriLiner – an extremely powerful transport vehicle for the agricultural sector both on the road and in the field.
Demand for Agro Trucks specially designed for transporting agricultural goods has grown steadily in recent years. There are many reasons for this: Transport routes and cost pressure are rising, skilled workers are becoming ever more difficult to find and the harvest window is steadily shrinking. These challenges can only be overcome by utilising efficient transport. In response to these developments, Krone presented the GX 520 AgriLiner. This machine is based on the technology of the proven Krone GX universal transport wagon, semi-mounted on an Agro Truck as a towing machine with the aid of some technical adaptations. This makes it possible to transport agricultural goods very quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Maximum efficiency thanks to high load capacity
The GX 520 AgriLiner is based on the body of the GX 520 universal transport wagon. The high vertical load of the towing machine means there is no need for the third axle for the GX 520 AgriLiner which reduces cost. The loading volume of up to 52 m3 allows for maximum productivity and, in combination with the spring-loaded conveyor belt connected to the front wall, all kinds of loads are conveyed gently. Thanks to the belt, which can be moved forward and backward, not only loose material, but also pallets and other goods are easy to load and unload.
The ideal vehicle on the road and off-road
Large 26.5″ tyres mean the the GX 520 AgriLiner is ideally designed for use in the field. When towed by the powerful 510 HP Krone Agro Truck, the vehicle offers all the advantages of capable field work, maximum operator comfort and huge efficiency on extended transport routes. Extensive road travel is when the benefits of this tractor/machine combination come to the forefront: The cabin of the Agro Truck offers maximum operator comfort both in terms of the suspension and with the numerous assistance systems from the automotive sector. The electronic forced steering of the GX AgriLiner, a standard feature, gives the tractor/machine combination impressive manoeuvrability and the mechanical all-wheel drive of the Agro Truck underscores the fact that capability for field work is part and parcel of the DNA of this tractor/machine combination. Finally, an agricultural Agro Truck based transport solution offers advantages in both procurement and maintenance costs compared to tractor transport solutions.
Conclusion: With the GX 520 AgriLiner, Krone has established itself as a specialist in agricultural logistics. This powerful transport vehicle, extremely efficient both in the field and on the road, is the ideal addition to already available TX forage transport wagons, GX universal transport wagons and Knapen KX sliding floor trailers. Krone demonstrates once again that it has recognised industry demands and is offering farmers and contractors exactly what they need.
