In 30 years, Fliegl Trailer has worked its way to a top position in the commercial vehicle industry and brought a multitude of innovations to the market. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary, Fliegl invited visitors to view the developments of the last 2 years on various vehicles. On display were classics such as the already proven Fliegl I-Lock as well as the Blitz roof or Fliegl Stone Master with its Drive On.
StoneMaster - Tipper trailer from Fliegl
Sustainable design - economy and ecology from the very first use
Vehicles for the construction industry have to meet many requirements. Fliegl fulfils these requirements in an attractive and sustainable way in a tipper trailer. The conically shaped body made of original Hardox HB 450 is optimally matched to the "Curved" chassis with the sloping front wall. This combination enables high stability and at the same time means an excellent weight balance. In addition, the conical design requires a smaller tipping angle to ensure optimum emptying of the load. The trough-shaped body is only 1,450 mm high. Thus a low centre of gravity is achieved. The low loading height facilitates side loading and the upper edge of the body does not overhang the tractor, which significantly minimises fuel consumption. Despite the extensive equipment and a volume of around 25 m³, the vehicle only weighs approx. 5,500 kg and is thus one of the lightweights in this segment. Tipper trailers with a steel half-shell body are always used when optimum payload is required in conjunction with difficult terrain and demanding loads such as rubble or hard demolition.
The StoneMaster convinces with innovative details. For example, Fliegl was the first manufacturer to adopt the patented "Curved" chassis in series production. With all the known advantages of steel construction in the chassis, the "Curved" chassis is almost equal in weight to an expensive and vulnerable aluminium chassis. The low neck height of only 180 mm reduces the overall height of the body - the centre of gravity of the load is thus lower, ensuring greater driving safety and tipping stability.
This tipper trailer is primarily designed for construction site operations, demolition and for transporting rubble, gravel and, for example, heavy river stones. Short distances, high-frequency tipping cycles under extreme loads are easily coped with by the "curved" chassis as well as by the robust body made of original Hardox HB 450.
But the DHKS 390 also offers its user real advantages on the long haul. The combination of the "curved" chassis shape and the conically shaped trough as well as the outwardly curved rear wall of the diaphragm ensure an excellent CW value and thus reduce fuel costs. In addition, the low trough height of just 1,450 mm does not protrude above the tractor cab, reducing additional drag. Our own measurements have shown that this alone reduces fuel consumption by 8 %.
Another highlight is the automatically folding underride guard, which is automatically raised by a robust pneumatic system during the tipping process. In addition, the underride guard, which is suitable for use with pavers, can also be raised manually - something that cannot be taken for granted.
The 21° inclined front wall facilitates the unloading of cohesive goods and ensures a better weight distribution. The automatically switched lift axle, which can also be switched from the tractor unit, can also be used as a starting aid. Lifting increases the semi-trailer pressure and the tractor finds enough grip even on slippery ground.
Advantages: In addition to the robust technology, the environment and sustainability factor is also important: the "Curved" chassis are completely manufactured in Triptis - thus eliminating transport distances. This shows once again that Fliegl already attaches importance to sustainability in the design and also lives this thought stringently: economy and ecology go hand in hand and thus lead to the highest possible efficiency.
Many other points speak in favour of the "Curved" chassis: In addition to the high stability, coupling is much easier, as the critical area is easier to see. An axle load indicator in the trailer, controlled via the EBS, reliably informs the driver in the cab about the load weight. Only original Hardox HB 450 is used for the steel used in the body. This means excellent abrasion resistance even with abrasive loads and at the same time stands for low weight. The walls and floor of the tipper trailer are 4 mm thick throughout, and the floor is 5 mm thick in the last third, which is subject to particular stress. In addition, the Hardox is underpinned with 4 mm steel in the area of the top flange. This provides effective protection against damage during loading.
The membrane rear wall, typical for Fliegl trailers, is designed as a pendulum flap and is locked with two external hooks. If necessary, two additional clamping screws with toggle locks ensure perfect sealing of the tailgate. The axles of the tipper trailers are also calibrated by laser. This reduces wear and minimises fuel costs.
Options that have a high utility value in daily use and make work easier for the driver can be selected individually. These include full LED lighting and additional reversing lights in LED. Fliegl DRIVE ON, the automatic axle lift with starting aid, is equally helpful as the automatic lowering during the tipping process.
3,800 conical dumpers since 2010 - Fliegl's sustainable bulk material innovations
The fact that Fliegl tipper trailers are stable, tilt-resistant and robust has been proven in several independent tests. For the continuous further development of its rear tipper semi-trailers, Fliegl put a special tipper test rig into operation as early as 2008. In 2010, Fliegl introduced its conical tipper body, of which about 3800 units have been delivered since then. The tipper trailers were developed under the aspect of holistic sustainability. For the chassis, Fliegl relies on the hardest steels, combined with consistent intelligent lightweight construction. The superstructure incorporates a lot of practical experience, design know-how and well thought-out detail solutions.
The centrepiece is the conical trough developed by Fliegl, which has been standard for years. The cone, which becomes wider towards the rear, allows bulk material to slide out of the trough quickly and completely. It also reduces air and rolling resistance. The conical trough is part of a comprehensive aerodynamics package that Fliegl has put together for its tipper trailers. This includes special air baffles and the diaphragm rear wall with double-jointed hinge, the curved design of which incorporates scientific findings. It significantly reduces air turbulence in the rear area. The sum of all these measures results in diesel savings of up to 8 %. Further practical plus points are its low loading sill and low centre of gravity.
The face is Fliegl's Curved Frame Front, whose innovative look without corners and edges immediately catches the eye. The chassis of each individual Fliegl trailer is precisely adjusted by precision laser. This individual measurement guarantees less rolling resistance, fuel consumption and tyre wear - a measurable added value. Low life-cycle costs and lived sustainability for bulk material transport is the strategy that Fliegl Trailer will consistently pursue in the future for chassis and body construction.
Fliegl DRIVE ON - Tilt stabiliser with starting aid
Often only accidents show how precious life is. But we get ahead of that. We rely on your safety - we rely on you. For this purpose, we equip our tipper trailers with our new and patented tipping stabilisers. When the body is upright, two strong metal supports create a stable connection between the axle and the frame. This absorbs lateral rocking movements. The system also takes over the function of fixing the height, which simplifies the transfer of asphalt to a paver, for example. When the empty skip moves downwards, the tilt stabilizers automatically return to their resting position.
Hydraulic drive axles are on everyone's lips. But no longer with us, because we have long since taken a big step forward. Our new development in the field of tilt stabilisers, the Fliegl DRIVE ON, is much more effective, lighter and more environmentally friendly than anything previously developed.
With our DRIVE ON, 2.8 t of the trailer weight are shifted to the drive axle of the tractor when tipping. This corresponds to 10.7% of the trailer weight.

With our DRIVE ON, 2.8 t of the trailer weight are shifted to the drive axle of the tractor when tipping. This corresponds to 10.7% of the trailer weight. When moving off, even a highly effective 6.7 t of the trailer weight is shifted to the drive axle of the tractor. This in turn corresponds to 25.8 % of the trailer weight.
And as a further benefit: The entire and above all very light solution (weighs a total of only 26 kg instead of several hundred) works completely without hydraulic oil. It couldn't be more environmentally friendly.
All in all, you gain a remarkable amount of stability and safety at work. You avoid cost-intensive repairs and recoveries and you enjoy all the advantages that systems such as HydroDrive®, all-wheel drive and driven axles bring. All this just by intelligent weight shifting.
Fliegl Revolution - less CO², more payload, more profit. From the 1st day of operation.
Tipper trailers with aluminium box body are the first choice when optimum payload is the top priority. The Fliegl "Revolution" tipper guarantees maximum payload, more profit and less CO2 emissions. The conically shaped body made of high-strength aluminium is optimally matched to the "Curved" chassis. This combination enables high stability and at the same time means an excellent weight balance.
Despite extensive equipment options and a volume of 25 m³, the "Revolution" is available for the first time with an unladen weight of less than 4 tonnes! This makes the tipper trailer one of the absolute lightweights in this segment. This is already known - the design of the light dumpers is proven and successfully integrated in series production.
But Fliegl would not be Fliegl if that were all. "Our credo does not allow standstill. We have taken up the banner "Innovating for you" and thus developed a completely newly designed vehicle concept. And as usual, in the spirit of sustainability," says Helmut Fliegl about his latest development.
The lightweight aluminium tipper trailers from Thuringia convince with innovative details. For example, Fliegl was the first manufacturer to adopt the "Curved" chassis in series production. With all the known advantages of steel construction in the chassis, the "Curved" chassis is almost equal in weight to an expensive and vulnerable aluminium chassis. Air baffles, in conjunction with the "Curved" chassis shape, tapered trough and outward curving diaphragm rear panel, provide excellent CW, reducing fuel costs.
The rear portal hinges are subjected to great stress during high-frequency discharge cycles. In order to better protect this important component, Fliegl uses a double-jointed hinge. With this hinge, the tailgate has more freedom of movement upwards and - compared to a single hinge - is not damaged by the tailgate touching down on the bulk material. The front wall, which is inclined at 21° degrees, also makes it easier to unload cohesive goods and ensures better load distribution.
The "Curved" chassis are completely manufactured in Triptis - thus transport routes by suppliers are eliminated. This shows that Fliegl already attaches importance to sustainability in the design and also lives this idea stringently: economy and ecology go hand in hand and thus lead to the highest possible efficiency. Many other points speak in favour of the "Curved" chassis: In addition to the high stability, coupling is much easier, as the critical area is better visible.
is easier to see. The entire chassis is also lower thanks to the low neck height of only 180 mm. The centre of gravity of the load moves downwards, driving safety and a safe standing position when tipping are increased.
Only high-strength material with a Brinell hardness of HB 110 is used for the aluminium used in the body. This means excellent abrasion resistance even with abrasive loads and at the same time stands for low weight.
The operator's platform with access from both sides is installed on the lifting cylinder. In addition to the possibility of height adjustment, the supply lines are thus well protected and can be reached much more easily by the driver.
The full LED lighting and the bulk material-repellent upper belt profile are optionally available. The automatic axle lift with starting aid is just as helpful as the automatic lowering during the tipping process. Many other options round off the equipment without increasing the weight.
In summary, the aluminium box body offers a volume of 25 m³, the steel chassis in the "Curved" version ensures high stability. The user-friendly details, an extensive range of options and low life cycle costs predestine this tipper trailer for fleet use as well as for the entrepreneur with individual wishes regarding equipment and appearance. Thanks to series production at the Triptis site, rapid availability is guaranteed - even for large quantities.
The billion Euro thing
The Fliegl "Revolution" is perfect for transporting fillers, bulk materials and other aggregates. With this 25 m3 aluminium semitrailer tipper, contractors get the
maximum out of their transport business: More profit and considerably less CO2 emission. For the sake of the environment. The Fliegl "Revolution" saves money and revolutionises in terms of payload. This is due to the absolutely lowest unladen weight of a tipper trailer in the industry. The trailer weighs only 3,940 kg.
What does that mean? Quite simply:
- Approximately 1 ton more payload compared to other tipper trailers.
- 1 tonne more payload means 3.5% fewer trips in the construction industry.
- 3.5% fewer transport journeys means 770 million litres less diesel p.a.
- At a diesel price of 1.30 €/l, this means that approx. 1,001,000,000.00 € p.a. can be saved.
More payload = More profit = Less CO2. That's why we are talking about the billion Euro thing.
