What TrailerTec GmbH does

TrailerTec GmbH is a German sales and service company headquartered in Wilnsdorf, Siegen (Nordrhein-Westfalen) that operates as the German and partly European commercial hub for two Dutch trailer manufacturers: D-TEC Trailers (producing container chassis, tank trailers and tippers since 1987) and Kraker Trailers (producing moving floor trailers since 1989). The portfolio spans four product families - container chassis (Flexitrailer, Combitrailer, Portmaster, Container Carrier), tank trailers for slurry, biogas substrate and chemicals (with optional NIR nutrient analysis), the Kraker K-Force moving floor range (Waste, Steered, Agri, Side-Doors variants), and Flexliner Alu/Stahl tipper trailers. Differentiated engineering features include D-TEC's forced steering systems (Zwangslenkung, X-Lenkung), Kraker's industry-unique bolt-connected traverse system allowing trailers to be stacked for transport, ETS1/ETS2 electrohydraulic steering, and lightweight construction using high-strength fine-grain and HARDOX steels with documented fuel and tire-wear savings.

TrailerTec runs a direct field-sales model with six regional representatives covering North, West, East, Southwest and Bavaria Germany plus a dedicated Key Account manager for container chassis, supported by a sales manager for Germany and Austria. Distribution is extended across ~20 European and adjacent countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom) through a dealer network. The company is privately held (GmbH, HRB10800 Siegen), has approximately 8 employees, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Two Managing Directors (Gerrit van Vlastuin and Jan de Kraker) link the German entity directly to the two Dutch manufacturer principals.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of trailers and chassis across four primary verticals: agricultural contractors and biogas operators (primary), logistics and intermodal transport operators, waste management and recycling companies, and chemical-sector haulers. Pricing is quote-based on configuration and specification, with no public price list. Marketing relies on the corporate website, LinkedIn, Facebook and D-TEC's YouTube channel, plus participation in events such as IAA Nutzfahrzeuge. Recognition includes the Trailer Innovation 2013 award for the Flexitrailer Traction and a 5-year warranty on Kraker's K-Force line as a customer-facing durability signal.
