    Solutions for trailers that fit vehicle and use

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

    AL-KO VT offers trailer products and vehicle technology for a wide range of trailer types and applications. The portfolio covers everything from axles and chassis to couplings, safety systems, manoeuvring aids and accessories.

    Manufacturers and OEMs will find components for developing and equipping their vehicles. Dealers and workshops receive an extensive portfolio for a wide range of customer requirements. Trailer owners will find solutions for retrofitting, manoeuvring, stabilising and equipping their vehicle.

    Whether car trailer, utility trailer, boat trailer, horse trailer, transport trailer, construction trailer or special trailer: The suitability of components 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 variants are designed for different applications in short-distance, transportation and logistics sectors. The modular concept enables application-specific adaptations.

    Trailer axles

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

    ATC Anti-sway System

    AL-KO Trailer Control ATC supports the driving stability of the vehicle combination. The system detects critical snaking movements of the trailer and automatically applies the brakes if required.

    Coupling heads and anti-sway couplings

    Coupling heads provide the connection between the trailer and the towing vehicle. Anti-sway couplings further support driving stability and reduce undesirable swaying and pitching movements.

    MAMMUT CTRAIL manoeuvring aid

    The MAMMUT CTRAIL manoeuvring aid assists with precise moving and positioning of trailers. This allows the trailer to be manoeuvred into its intended parking space, even in confined areas, with control.

    Overrun devices

    On braked trailers, the overrun device transmits the overrun force generated during deceleration to the brake system. The AL-KO VT portfolio includes overrun devices for different trailers and weight categories.

    Towing connections

    Towing connections form the structural link between trailer and towing vehicle. Different versions for braked and unbraked trailers are available depending on the design and intended use.

    Chassis

    The chassis forms the technical basis of the trailer. AL-KO VT offers chassis solutions for different body types, dimensions, weight classes and fields of application, including options for special uses.

    Jockey wheels

    Jockey wheels make it easier to park, hitch and manually manoeuvre the trailer. Important selection criteria include support load, trailer type, frequency of use and ground conditions.

    Cable winches

    Mechanical cable winches assist with pulling, lifting or loading loads. Depending on the application, there are different versions and load classes available.

    Mudguards

    Mudguards protect the trailer and other road users from splashing water, dirt and stones. The suitable type especially depends on wheel and tyre size as well as vehicle construction.

    Supports

    Supports and stand stabilisers ensure that a parked trailer is reliably steadied. Especially on uneven or sloping ground, height differences can be equalised and unwanted movements of the trailer reduced. This helps provide stable parking during transport stops or long periods of standing.

    Anti-theft devices

    A trailer anti-theft device makes it difficult to couple or move your trailer without authorisation. Coupling locks, protective covers and wheel clamps each protect different points of attack. The most suitable solution depends on the coupling, parking location and required security level.

    Trailer accessories

    From wheel chocks and weather protection to storage boxes, spare wheel holders, ramps, add-on parts and load securing: With the right trailer accessories, a trailer can be equipped to suit its intended use.

    Which AL-KO VT product suits my trailer?

    The appropriate component does not depend solely on the trailer type. Check your vehicle's technical data and the requirements for the respective product group before selection.

    Key selection criteria:

    • Trailer type: car, utility, boat, horse, transport, construction or special trailers
    • Permissible gross weight: Many components are designed for defined weight ranges
    • Braked or unbraked: This distinction is especially relevant for couplings, axles and towing connections
    • Dimensions and design: Installation space, chassis, drawbar, tyres and existing components must work together
    • Intended use: Transport, continuous commercial use or private leisure use have different requirements
    • New build or retrofitting: Manufacturers require different selection criteria than owners looking to upgrade existing trailers

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