Krone’s Axle-Manufacturing Business Thriving

Aug. 25, 2015
Since Krone launched its own line of trailer axles at the 2014 IAA Commercial Vehicle Transport Show in Hanover, Germany, over 10,000 axle units have been installed.

Since Krone launched its own line of trailer axles at the 2014 IAA Commercial Vehicle Transport Show in Hanover, Germany, over 10,000 axle units have been installed.

"Our strategy to offer the ‘All-in-Krone-Trailer,’ including our own Krone axle, has proved to be the right approach,” said managing director Bernard Krone. “Our customers trust in the Krone brand and the axle too. We are grateful for their confidence, as our axle represents a true matter of personal importance as far as I am concerned."

The Krone axle is manufactured by Krone’s partner, gigant-Trenkamp & Gehle based in Dinklage. The company has been part of the Krone Group since 2013. The Krone axle system with disc brakes is distinctive for its innovative, maintenance-free bearing unit (stepped hub unit), and exceptionally lightweight air-spring suspension arm with bolted clamping attachment.

Krone grants its customers a six-year warranty on the axle with unlimited mileage. Additionally, Krone offers the "One-Check-Per-Year System" requiring only one check per year within the scope of the main service.

Since the introduction of the "All-in-Krone-Trailer," Krone has succeeded in significantly extending its service portfolio. For example, all vehicle components feature a Krone part number, thus enabling customers to conveniently and quickly order all parts directly from Krone.

"For our customers’ benefit, we have lined up as an all-round service provider when it comes to trailers and the 10,000 Krone trailer axles which have already been installed are testament both to the acceptance of the axle in the market and to our ‘All-in-Krone-Trailer’ approach,” said Krone.
