With BPW's brake force control the brake power of the drawbar trailer can be adjusted to the loading condition with a single movement of the hand.

BPW gets its grips on the brake force of unsprung agricultural machinery

Unsprung agricultural and forestry vehicles are feared obstacles on the road, and not only at harvest time: their brakes can only be adjusted by hand – a rather fiddly and risky guesswork. The EU has therefore tightened regulations. The answer from BPW is as simple as it is ingenious: with a patent-pending fully mechanical system, drivers now have the brakes quite literally in their hands.

The Ermax tail light is made of polycarbonate with an impact resistant 17 times higher than that of conventional acrylic or ABS used in the automotive industry.

Unbreakable – and pretty cool: the new generation of the indestructible Ermax tail lights, now even better with an LED chase

A tail light with a cool design and dynamic flashing – on an agricultural commercial vehicle of all things! The BPW Group will show that the attractive form of the next generation trailer tail lights is a continuation of its function at the Agritechnia trade fair (10-16 November in Hanover; Hall 15, Stand E05) – and why they're worthwhile for the vehicle operator and the environment.

BPW is bringing the running gear computer, AGRO Hub, to the series with a digital weighing system.

Agriculture 4.0: Total transparency in driving, loading, spreading, feeding and weighing with the BPW AGRO Hub weighing system

Contractors and cultivators can now continuously digitally monitor the total weight and the usable load of their drawbar trailers – even during use: the running gear computer AGRO Hub, which BPW will present at Agritechnica 2019, controls and measures the use of spreaders and loading and feed mixers. Even transport drawbar trailers are saved the detour via weighbridges and yard scales.

Growing together, all year long – with its technological expertise and digital competencies, BPW is developing new solutions for agriculture in cooperation with its customers.

Growing together: BPW highlighting successful system partnership with agricultural machinery manufacturers at Agritechnica 2019

The BPW Group is growing successfully as one of the preferred system partners of agricultural machinery manufacturers. With its high-tech axles and digital innovations, the company is driving the Agriculture 4.0 trend. At Agritechnica 2019, BPW will be exhibiting sophisticated solutions for the entire year, from tillage to harvest.

With the AGRO Drive hydraulic drive axle from BPW, drawbar trailers are now digging their own way out of the sludge.

From fields to construction sites: Award-winning "AGRO Drive" drive axle from BPW also available for construction trailers

Soft, loose and wet ground and slopes quickly push even hauled construction vehicles to their limits. With a hydraulic drive axle from BPW, drawbar trailers are now digging their own way out of the sludge: originally developed for agricultural use, the award-winning "AGRO Drive" system is also taking construction sites by storm.

‘Innovations in agricultural technology’ public choice award: BPW drive axle is gaining traction

25 per cent more traction for the trailer on wet and difficult ground conditions and higher loads with smaller towing vehicles: these system benefits provided by the ‘AGRO Drive’ hydraulic drive axle have given BPW a bestseller among farmers and contractors. As a result, the drive axle has now won the most important public choice award in the agricultural industry.
