The new A-Series, which was launched in August 2019, is ExTe’s third generation of aluminium bunks, and is by far the lightest on the market. The A-Series was designed to meet the demands for extremely light timber bunks, making it possible to load more timber and improve profitability for the hauliers.
The new A-Series is lighter than its predecessors. By combining the different A-bunks based on your transportation conditions, you can increase the payloads. This means better profitability.
The A-bunks are available in the following performance stages:
A5 - maximum load per bunk: 5 tonnes
A7 - maximum load per bunk: 7 tonnes
A10 - maximum load per bunk: 10 tonnes
New stanchions have been developed for the new A-Series.
The design is both lighter and stronger. The same stanchions now fit both the A- and D-series. This also applies to Telescopic stanchions.
The stanchions are available for various load heights, and the stanchions for the older A-Series will remain available as spare parts.
Telescopic: Stanchions with a freely adjustable upper part
Conical: Stanchions that are bevelled on both inside and outside
Euro: Full profile without telescopic function or bevelling
A number of different fastenings are available for the A-Series, including clamp fastenings, friction fastenings and reel fastenings. Another option is pre-fitted fastenings, installed in the factory.
The stanchions are locked into place with a tapered clasp, which is treated with a low friction coating. Together with ExTe’s modular system, assembling and switching stanchions is therefore both quick and simple.
Tailored to your transportation needs
If you have the right combination of the new A-bunks you can save up to 220 kg compared to the predecessor, thereby make a significant contribution to profitability.
Functional design with stabilising flange
The design focuses on the low weight of the A-Series. The specially treated surface makes the bunks easy to keep clean and look good over a long period.
The bolster has a built-in flange to ensure the stability of the bunk. The flange has also been pre-drilled for the installation of various accessories, such as tensioners.
100% aluminium and prepared for accessories
The bolsters, stanchions and fastenings are all made entirely from aluminium, and have been designed for the demanding Nordic conditions.
The flanges on the bolsters are pre-drilled for simple installation of accessories, such as TU tensioners. The pre-drilled holes are the same on both sides of the bolsters, allowing flexible assembly.
The bolsters are designed for quick and easy installation without any modification to the vehicle chassis.
No welding or drilling required
Adjustable mounting solution for different chassis widths
Easy to remove, reposition or adjust when needed
Several types of mounting brackets are available for the bolsters, depending on the intended application and vehicle configuration:
Clamp Mount
The clamp mount secures the bolster to the chassis through mechanical clamping. It provides a stable and secure attachment without damaging the chassis and is suitable when the support bolster is intended to remain in a fixed position.
Sliding Mount
The sliding mount allows longitudinal movement along the chassis, which is required in applications where the bolster needs to be repositioned. This is particularly important when using a sliding platform, where the bolster position must be adjusted according to the load and handling requirements.
Ridge Mount
The ridge mount is designed to match chassis frames with a ridge-shaped profile. The design is based on a sliding principle and includes a sliding plate, meaning that the bracket effectively functions as a sliding mount. It provides both secure attachment and longitudinal movement along the chassis.
