Krone launches new generation swap bodies

The Krone Dry Box, the new generation of steel smooth-wall swap bodies from Krone, will be launched in 2024 with ten enhancements.

To increase protection against damage, the front wall is now slightly recessed at the top, ensuring sufficient space even when cornering. Additionally, the collision guard has been extended to 1,300 mm at the bottom.

The new embossing in the front and side rails provides even more stability in the body, offering better protection for stickers and contour markings.

The rear and front corner stanchions have also become more stable and are now extended down to the floor.

The corner fittings have been modified to offer an integrated support leg rest.

Drivers will appreciate the more easily accessible support leg release, operable from the outside and fitted with a hand-friendly rubber coating.

The ladder safety catch, equipped with a spring plate, is also easier to operate.

Changes to the substructure include an increase in the tunnel width from 90 to 100 mm.

The interior of the steel smooth-wall swap body has been upgraded with a new scuff plate featuring embossing on both sides, offering an optional lashing option.

As the tenth improvement, Krone introduces the new swap body generation, named Krone Dry Box, which has been in production since February 2024.
