PerformanceCoil 24LTCe: Why this lightweight trailer sets new standards

The BERGERecotrail PerformanceCoil 24LTCe is an innovative trailer that sets new industry standards thanks to its consistent use of lightweight construction, Tyrolean precision and well-thought-out design. In this article, we’ll show you what makes the 24LTCe stand out, why our customers love it and for whom it’s particularly worthwhile.

The steel coil specialist from the Evolution generation

The PerformanceCoil 24LTCe is part of our new Evolution generation. This series is the result of the strategic partnership between BERGERecotrail and Schmitz Cargobull, combining Tyrolean expertise in lightweight chassis construction with the wide range of bodywork options offered by one of Europe’s largest trailer manufacturers.

The 24LTCe is a three-axle trailer designed for the transport of steel coils and heavy metal goods, but can also be used in a variety of ways for standard cargo. It is the direct successor to the tried-and-tested 24LTCn and is consistently optimised for one thing: maximum payload with minimum kerb weight.

What defines an ‘evolution’?
 

For us, evolution does not mean revolution for the sake of a headline. It means building on tried-and-tested principles, eliminating weaknesses and asking, for every component: can we further optimise its functionality?

The result is a trailer that is uncompromisingly tailored to practical use in coil transport in terms of its design, choice of materials and equipment.

Key specifications at a glance

Before we go into detail, here are the key figures for the PerformanceCoil 24LTCe:

1. Unladen weight from around 5.4 tonnes

2. Payload up to 33.6 tonnes

3. Permissible gross weight 35 tonnes; technically possible up to 39 tonnes

4. Coil trough length 8,220 mm

5. Coil diameter from 800 to 2,100 mm

6. Clear body length approx. 13,620 mm

7. TrailerConnect telematics including tyre pressure monitoring system fitted as standard

Figures that pay off on every journey.

Why our customers love the 24LTCe

More payload, more profit

Let’s start with what is arguably the most important point: with a kerb weight of around 5.4 tonnes, the 24LTCe achieves payload figures that are unrivalled in coil transport. Every kilo saved on the chassis means one kilo more cargo. Calculated over the vehicle’s lifetime, this results in an economic advantage that is reflected not only in spreadsheets but also in the balance sheet.

One customer recently summed it up perfectly: “It really is two tonnes lighter, just as promised.” That’s not just a marketing phrase, but a measurable reality.

Flexibility for any order situation

The 8,220 mm long coil trough accommodates coils with diameters ranging from 800 to 2,100 mm. Three pairs of coil ring pockets, a practical set of coil rings in the standard version, and steel-reinforced tray covers ensure the trailer is ready for a wide variety of load sizes. Heavy steel coils today, pallets on the loading area tomorrow. With the 24LTCe from BERGERecotrail, both are possible.

Tyrolean craftsmanship meets high-tech materials

The chassis is made from high-strength S700 fine-grained steel, manufactured at the Radfeld site in Tyrol. Precision welding technology, tested materials and a design engineered for maximum stability with minimum weight. ‘Made in Tyrol’ is not just a marketing label here, but a commitment to quality put into practice.

Safety and transparency included

The 24LTCe comes factory-fitted with Schmitz Cargobull’s TrailerConnect telematics system, including a tyre pressure monitoring system. Dispatchers can monitor the condition of the fleet at all times. This not only enhances safety but also reduces unplanned downtime and wear-and-tear costs.

Load securing to the highest standard

The standard equipment complies with EN 12642 XL. A beverages certificate and a Daimler 9.5 certificate are available as options. Anyone on the road with the 24LTCe can drive with confidence and a clear conscience.

Optional body solutions from Schmitz Cargobull

In combination with the Power Curtain from Schmitz Cargobull, this creates a slat-free body with roof reinforcement and tarpaulin loops for rear securing. On request, it can also be fitted with the Varios system, which allows flexible height adjustment of the body.

Who will benefit from the PerformanceCoil 24LTCe?

The 24LTCe is the right choice for haulage companies that regularly transport steel coils, semi-finished metal products or heavy, high-density goods, or that want maximum flexibility in their day-to-day operations. It is of particular interest to fleets seeking to optimise their profitability per journey and for whom payload is a decisive competitive factor.
 

Sectors that benefit most

- Steel and metal industry

- Heavy-haul transport

- Suppliers to the automotive industry

- Transport companies with high utilisation per journey

More than just a trailer: a partnership

When purchasing a 24LTCe, customers are not just choosing a trailer. They gain access to Schmitz Cargobull’s Europe-wide service and spare parts network. Rapid availability, short distances, and predictable workshop visits. That’s a partnership in action, making a difference in everyday operations.

Conclusion: Lightweight construction that pays off

The PerformanceCoil 24LTCe embodies everything BERGERecotrail has stood for over 30 years. Lightweight construction, precision, craftsmanship. Made in Tyrol, in use throughout Europe. Anyone looking to maximise every advantage in coil transport simply cannot ignore this trailer. More payload. Lower fuel consumption. Less wear and tear. And a trailer that pays for itself on every journey.
