We’ve launched our new, comprehensive product catalogue, welcomed partners from across Europe, and participated in key industry events. From showcasing our K20 pendulum pillar at Bevola Norway’s new facility opening, to preparing for IDET 2025 with Trans-Technik – we’ve been busy forging new connections and strengthening existing ones.
At the same time, our innovative K15, developed for the evolving Medium Commercial Vehicle segment, is entering its final test phase, and we’re excited to highlight our customized K20 pillars, specifically adopted for dropsides with pockets embedded in the side rave.
Let’s take a closer look at the latest from Kinnegrip.
When working with various types of dropside trailer configurations, you need solutions that combine strength, low weight, and adaptability. That’s where our shortened K20 pillars come in. Designed for builds with top-standing dropsides and pillar pockets embedded in the side rave, these variants provide reliable performance without compromising flexibility.
Available as standard in 785 mm and 985 mm lengths, the K20 pillars are ideal for side and rear configurations – whether for trailers, bodyworks, or specialized transport setups. This makes them an excellent choice for diverse transport needs across different markets.
Why choose the shortened K20?
▪️ Tailored for top-standing dropsides with side rave-embedded pillar pockets
▪️ Stronger and lighter than the K5
▪️ Available in both steel and aluminium
▪️ Can be customized to other lengths upon request
▪️ Suitable for both side and rear positions as standard
Busy Weeks at Kinnegrip – Events, Visits, and New Collaborations
It’s been a vibrant spring at Kinnegrip! We’ve had the opportunity to connect with partners across Europe and showcase our innovative products.
We recently had the pleasure of welcoming JB Components Ltd to our facility. Together with Hannah and Daniel Beegan, we explored growth strategies and key products like the T50, K15, and K20 for the UK market.
Our European sales team, Ralph and Cristina also visited our headquarters in Lidköping, Sweden. Spread across Europe and constantly on the move, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet face-to-face, exchange insights, and strengthen both strategic direction and personal connections.
We also participated in the grand opening of Bevola Norway’s new facility – a great opportunity to meet customers and industry peers. At the event, we proudly showcased the new K20 Pendulum pillar solution, the latest addition to our trusted K20 pillar range – a proven solution for many different transport needs.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to join our customer Trans-Technik at the upcoming IDET 2025 exhibition. Together, we’ll present our range of smart dropside solutions to a wider audience in Central Europe.
And don’t forget – our brand-new product catalogue is now available on our website. Make sure to check it out!
The development of the pillar of the future for the Medium Commercial Vehicle segment is entering its final phase. K15 – our new aluminium pillar with integrated locking – is the result of meticulous design work where every detail has been refined. The design is set, the construction complete, and internal function tests have been successfully carried out. Now, only the final step remains – field testing in real traffic environments.
Testing our products in their actual context – on vehicles that are out on the roads every day – is a crucial part of our quality assurance process. This is where technology meets reality, and where we gain the most valuable feedback.
In the coming months, our new K15 pillars will be in use across Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. These field tests will be closely monitored by our development team, our partners, and the people who work with the product on a daily basis.
K15 is built to meet tomorrow’s demands:
– Lightweight aluminium – for improved fuel efficiency and loading capacity – Strong and durable construction – not compromising with safety
– Smart design with no protruding parts – easy and safe to handle
– Fully recyclable – with the pillar in metal and the cap in plastic for easy material separation
– Available in lengths of 400, 500, and 600 mm
