The frame with rear axle is expertly separated from the base vehicle behind the
driver's cab so that only the power car remains. The plug-in units with a pivot point for
the plateau are flanged to this.
•The plateau consists of asturdy steel frame and atransversely planked aluminum
loading surface.At the pivot point, the plateau is connected to the slide-in modules of
the powerhead.
The plateau is tipped up by an electrohydraulic tipping shear.The longitudinal axis
of the vehicle is bent at the pivot point between the plateau and the power car.
•The electrohydraulically extendable drive-up ramps form an inclined plane with the
plateau when tilted, on which the vehicle to be transported is moved up or down at a
drive-up angle of approx. 10°.

3 Description Eder GmbH
14 / 108 Operating Instructions Algema Blitzlader 2 Air -Edition 04/2021
•By means of the cable winch*, the vehicle to be transported can be pulled over the
drive-up ramps onto the plateau during loading.
•An adjustable wheel stop and arailing are used to secure the load.
•For an increased payload, the car transporter is equipped with atandem chassis from
our own production at the rear.The original rear axle of the basic vehicle is integrated
into the chassis as asecond axle.
•For empty runs, the third axle can be lifted as an option.
•Optimum ride comfort thanks to air suspension on the rear axles.
