Schwarzmüller SX complements KRONE agricultural logistics

The new Schwarzmüller SX large-capacity aluminium dump truck complements KRONE's portfolio and strengthens its leading position in the agricultural logistics sector.
Spelle, September 2025: Maschinenfabrik Bernard KRONE GmbH & Co. KG is consistently expanding its involvement in the agricultural logistics sector. With the new Schwarzmüller SX, KRONE is launching an efficient large-capacity aluminium dump truck for the agricultural lorry, which has been specially developed for professional use in the agricultural transport logistics sector.
The new SX trough is the result of the close cooperation with the Austrian Schwarzmüller Group and complements the existing KRONE portfolio in the agricultural logistics sector. KRONE now offers three specialised systems for different requirements in the agricultural logistic sector – from walking floor solutions to the GX universal transport wagon and large-volume bulk goods transport with dump truck.

Variable equipment for maximum flexibility
There are two versions of the Schwarzmüller SX large-capacity dump truck: The SX 490 with 49 m³ and the SX 570 with 57 m³ loading volume offer maximum flexibility for different transport requirements. A standard roller tarpaulin with standing platform ensures safe and loss-free transport. An optional electric sliding roof is available, which can be conveniently operated from the cabin. The tailgate has a double door with two grain slides as standard; alternatively, a swinging rear wall with pneumatic lock is available.
The robust tridem chassis is designed for speeds of up to 80 km/h and can optionally be equipped with self-steering. The underride guard can be folded mechanically as standard, and can optionally also be pneumatic and controlled from the cabin. Further equipment features, such as a rear-view camera, working lights and a storage box round off the well thought-out design.

Sales launch in Germany
The SX will initially only be available on the German market. An expansion to international markets is currently only planned on request. This is KRONE's targeted response to the requirements and feedback from the German market before a broader market launch.
