Trailer products and vehicle technology from AL-KO VT

    Solutions for trailers to match your vehicle and application

    From axles and chassis to safety systems, manoeuvring systems and accessories for passenger car, utility and special trailers.

    AL-KO VT offers trailer products and vehicle technology for all kinds of trailer types and applications. The portfolio ranges from axles and chassis to couplings, safety systems, manoeuvring systems and accessories.

    Manufacturers and OEMs will find components for the development and specification of their vehicles. Retailers and workshops have access to a wide range for various customer requirements. Trailer owners can find solutions for retrofitting, manoeuvring, stabilising and equipping their vehicle.

    Whether passenger car trailer, utility trailer, boat trailer, horse trailer, transport trailer, construction trailer or special trailer: which components are appropriate depends on the vehicle, weight, design and intended use.

    New Mobility Solutions

    CarryNex chassis solutions

    With CarryNex, AL-KO VT offers modular chassis solutions for new transport concepts. The three lightweight versions are designed for various applications in short-distance transport and logistics. The modular concept allows for application-specific adaptations.

    Trailer axles

    The axle influences payload capacity, driving behaviour and structural design of a trailer. AL-KO VT offers axle solutions for different weight classes, trailer types and requirements, from passenger car trailers to professional transport applications.

    Anti-snaking system ATC

    AL-KO Trailer Control ATC supports the driving stability of the combination. The system detects critical swaying movements of the trailer and automatically brakes it if necessary.

    Coupling heads and stabiliser couplings

    Coupling heads provide the connection between trailer and towing vehicle. Stabiliser couplings additionally support driving stability by reducing undesirable snaking and pitching movements.

    MAMMUT CTRAIL manoeuvring aid

    The MAMMUT CTRAIL manoeuvring aid supports precise movement and positioning of trailers. This allows the trailer to be manoeuvred accurately into the intended parking space, even in confined areas.

    Overrun devices

    For braked trailers, the overrun device transmits the overrun force generated when braking to the brake system. The AL-KO VT range includes overrun devices for different trailers and weight classes.

    Towing connections

    Towing connections form the structural link between trailer and towing vehicle. Depending on the design and intended use, different options are available for braked and unbraked trailers.

    Chassis

    The chassis forms the technical foundation of the trailer. AL-KO VT offers chassis solutions for different structures, dimensions, weight classes and areas of application, including solutions for special applications.

    Jockey wheels

    Jockey wheels make it easier to park, hitch up and manoeuvre the trailer by hand. Factors such as nose weight, trailer type, frequency of use and ground conditions are particularly relevant for selection.

    Cable winches

    Mechanical cable winches assist with pulling, lifting or loading goods. Depending on the application, different designs and pulling capacity classes are available.

    Mudguards

    Mudguards protect the trailer and other road users from water, dirt and stones thrown up by the wheels. The appropriate option depends in particular on wheel and tyre size and vehicle design.

    Supports

    Supports and stabilising devices ensure that a parked trailer remains reliably stable. Especially on uneven or sloping ground, height differences can be compensated and unwanted trailer movements reduced. Supports help keep the trailer steady during transport breaks or longer periods of standing still.

    Anti-theft devices

    A trailer anti-theft device makes it more difficult to hitch or move your trailer without authorisation. Coupling locks, protective covers and wheel clamps protect different points of attack. Which solution is best depends on the coupling, parking place and required security level.

    Trailer accessories

    From wheel chocks to weather protection and storage boxes through to spare wheel carriers, loading ramps, add-on parts and load-securing devices: With the right trailer accessories, a trailer can be supplemented according to its intended use.

    Which AL-KO VT product is right for my trailer?

    The right component does not depend solely on the trailer type. Before choosing, check your vehicle’s technical data and the requirements of the relevant product group.

    Key selection criteria include:

    • Trailer type: passenger car trailer, utility trailer, boat, horse, transport, construction or special trailer
    • Permissible gross weight: Many components are designed for defined weight ranges
    • Braked or unbraked: This distinction is particularly important for couplings, axles and towing connections
    • Dimensions and design: Installation space, chassis, drawbar, tyres and existing components must be compatible
    • Intended use: Transport, commercial continuous use or private leisure use place different demands
    • New build or retrofitting: Manufacturers require different selection criteria than owners who want to upgrade existing trailers

    Before retrofitting, also check the specifications and approvals for the relevant product. For technical components, selection and installation by a specialist workshop is recommended.
