ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND COMFORT DUE TO OPTIMUM WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
No fear of the scales: a Carthago has reserves, even for large luggage items! Heavy payload can be found in the specification whenever a new Carthago is constructed. Because this forms the basis for outstanding comfort, independence and safety when you are travelling. It is a natural constituent of the Carthago Premium DNA. A harmonious weight balance is a matter of course for a Carthago. The basis is formed by a load-bearing chassis with two or even three axles, which provide an individual solution for the respective requirement.
Clever wheelbases ensure that the weight distribution is favourable, utilise the maximum axle loads and lead to a safe and confident driving style at the same time. Intelligent lightweight construction technology reduces the weight of the vehicle. Carthago also means not having to forego anything with regard to payload, since holidaymakers do not have to restrict themselves, even on long trips: you can simply take your favourite things from clothing to Pedelecs with you in the huge storage compartments. And the reserves in the Carthago are always sufficient for your holiday souvenirs.
Together with the high-stability self-supporting main body construction, it contributes to providing a high degree of stability and torsional rigidity, and is extremely lightweight at the same time. A “special light” AL-KO low frame is used exclusively for the lightweight models. Result: minimal vehicle weight – maximum payload.
Note: The permissible gross vehicle weight is a value defined by the manufacturer which the vehicle must not exceed, even when loaded. It therefore has an influence on the approvable number of seats, the possibilities for selecting special equipment and the remaining additional load capacity.
