Is a Krone trailer subject to TDT inspection?

No — standard Krone trailers (curtainsiders, reefers, container chassis) are not pressure vessels, so they are not subject to TDT inspection. The TDT requirement applies only to silo trailers and tankers. For Krone trailers we carry out technical checks and periodic examinations.

How long does a Krone trailer repair take?

Minor repairs (seal, cylinder, sensor): 4–8 hours. Medium repairs (air suspension, curtain or reefer door repair): 1–3 working days. Accident repairs (frame straightening, section replacement): 3–10 days. Individual quote after inspection.
