TECTRUM RS32 Roll-off Tipper

The new powerhouse from Meiller

The new TECTRUM RS32 hook-lift from MEILLER offers a 32-tonne rated load capacity and high load-bearing capacity. Thanks to its modular design, wide range of equipment options and international variants, it is suitable for demanding applications. It will be unveiled at IAA Transportation 2026.

THE KEY POINTS IN BRIEF
• 32-tonne rated load: The TECTRUM RS32 is designed for particularly demanding applications.
• High flexibility: Modular design and a range of hook booms allow for customised configurations.
• Comfort and efficiency: Options such as the hydraulic roller support ensure quiet operation and gentle handling of materials.

The TECTRUM RS32 roll-off tip­per is syn­ony­mous with high load-bear­ing capac­i­ty and max­i­mum oper­a­tional flex­i­bil­i­ty. MEILLER has been devel­op­ing roll-off tip­pers for the con­struc­tion and waste man­age­ment sec­tors for many years. It is pre­cise­ly in these sec­tors that robust­ness, dura­bil­i­ty and flex­i­bil­i­ty are par­tic­u­lar­ly in demand. With the new TECTRUM RS32, MEILLER is expand­ing its suc­cess­ful RS series. The mod­el offers a rat­ed load capac­i­ty of 32 tonnes, mak­ing it the most pow­er­ful roll-off tip­per in the range. The TECTRUM RS32 was devel­oped for par­tic­u­lar­ly demand­ing appli­ca­tions, includ­ing use in the con­struc­tion indus­try and at land­fill sites. The sys­tem also demon­strates its strengths dur­ing fre­quent con­tain­er han­dling oper­a­tions.

A consistent evolution

“The TECTRUM RS32 is the log­i­cal evo­lu­tion of our pre­vi­ous RK30 mod­el,” says Michael Eicheldinger. He heads the con­tain­er-chang­ing sys­tems prod­uct line at MEILLER. The rat­ed load capac­i­ty has been increased by two tonnes com­pared with the RK30. This pro­vides addi­tion­al capac­i­ty for par­tic­u­lar­ly demand­ing appli­ca­tions.

Robust construction designed for heavy-duty use

The TECTRUM RS32 is based on a mod­u­lar vehi­cle design. This allows the sys­tem to be adapt­ed to a range of require­ments. Its robust con­struc­tion ensures high dura­bil­i­ty in day-to-day use. In addi­tion, a KTL coat­ing pro­vides reli­able pro­tec­tion for the com­po­nents against cor­ro­sion.

The ful­ly bolt­ed assem­bly offers fur­ther advan­tages. It facil­i­tates repairs and main­te­nance work. At the same time, it sup­ports long-term and cost-effec­tive use. The TECTRUM RS32 thus com­bines high sta­bil­i­ty with flex­i­ble con­fig­u­ra­tion options. This makes the sys­tem suit­able for a wide range of appli­ca­tions.

TECTRUM RS32 for international markets

The TECTRUM RS32 has been devel­oped for var­i­ous chas­sis con­fig­u­ra­tions. MEILLER also takes into account dif­fer­ing nation­al mar­ket require­ments. In Ger­many, the roll-off tip­per is used as a 4‑axle vehi­cle. 5‑axle chas­sis are also avail­able for Switzer­land and Aus­tria. The addi­tion­al axle allows for high­er per­mis­si­ble gross vehi­cle weights. This makes it eas­i­er to com­ply with the respec­tive nation­al reg­u­la­tions. The TECTRUM RS32 offers the nec­es­sary pow­er reserves for this pur­pose. It is there­fore also suit­able for appli­ca­tions involv­ing par­tic­u­lar­ly high loads.

Special underrun protection solution for Switzerland

MEILLER offers a spe­cial under­run pro­tec­tion vari­ant for the Swiss mar­ket. This ver­sion has been specif­i­cal­ly tai­lored to meet local require­ments. It com­bines a hydrauli­cal­ly fold­able under­run pro­tec­tion sys­tem with a hydraulic scis­sor-type under­run pro­tec­tion sys­tem. This pro­vides a flex­i­ble solu­tion for the Swiss mar­ket.

A wide range of options for the TECTRUM RS32

The TECTRUM RS32 offers a wide range of options and acces­sories. This allows the roll-off tip­per to be tai­lored specif­i­cal­ly to dif­fer­ent oper­a­tional require­ments. In addi­tion to robust­ness, low-noise oper­a­tion is also play­ing an increas­ing­ly impor­tant role. Spe­cial equip­ment solu­tions help to reduce noise lev­els, which ben­e­fits both dri­vers and the envi­ron­ment. When com­bined with an alter­na­tive-fuel chas­sis, par­tic­u­lar­ly qui­et oper­a­tion is pos­si­ble.

Flexible hook booms for different containers

The TECTRUM can be fit­ted with var­i­ous hook booms. The range includes, amongst oth­ers, tele­scop­ic and swiv­el­ling vari­ants.

The tele­scop­ic hook boom T is par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for con­tain­ers of the same size. Its robust con­struc­tion ensures reli­able day-to-day oper­a­tion.

The TS and TSN vari­ants offer addi­tion­al flex­i­bil­i­ty. They are par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for vary­ing con­tain­er dimen­sions and dif­fer­ent oper­at­ing con­di­tions.

Among oth­er things, they enable con­tain­ers to be loaded in a flat posi­tion. They also facil­i­tate con­tain­er han­dling in sit­u­a­tions where head­room is lim­it­ed.

Fur­ther­more, the TS and TSN mod­els enable con­tain­ers to be trans­ferred onto rail­way wag­ons. This expands the range of appli­ca­tions for the roll-off tip­per.

Hydraulic roller support for efficient container handling

Anoth­er option is the hydraulic roller sup­port. It enables con­tain­ers to be moved com­fort­ably and in a way that pro­tects the mate­r­i­al. Whilst in motion, the con­tain­er rests secure­ly on the steel sup­ports. This reli­ably pre­vents any acci­den­tal slip­ping. When mov­ing the con­tain­er, the sys­tem auto­mat­i­cal­ly lifts it using extend­able rollers. This pro­tects the body­work, chas­sis, hydraulics and the con­tain­er itself.

At the same time, the roller sup­port reduces jolts and vibra­tions. This improves com­fort for the dri­ver. It also sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduces noise lev­els. This is par­tic­u­lar­ly advan­ta­geous when oper­at­ing in res­i­den­tial areas. Night-time deliv­er­ies also ben­e­fit from a qui­eter oper­a­tion. The same applies to noise-sen­si­tive work­ing hours.

Customise the TECTRUM RS32

The TECTRUM RS32 offers a wide range of options for cus­tomi­sa­tion. This allows the sys­tem to be adapt­ed to dif­fer­ent require­ments. The options range from robust stan­dard solu­tions to com­fort-ori­ent­ed con­fig­u­ra­tions. These also include solu­tions designed for par­tic­u­lar­ly qui­et oper­a­tion.

The TECTRUM RS32 thus com­bines high dura­bil­i­ty with flex­i­bil­i­ty and com­fort. This makes it a ver­sa­tile solu­tion for demand­ing appli­ca­tions.

TECTRUM RS32 at IAA Transportation 2026

The new TECTRUM RS32 will be unveiled at IAA Trans­porta­tion 2026 in Hanover. MEILLER will be show­cas­ing var­i­ous TECTRUM roll-off tip­pers there. Along­side the RS32, a TECTRUM RS21 with a hydraulic roller sup­port will also be on dis­play. Vis­i­tors will be able to expe­ri­ence the var­i­ous solu­tions first-hand.

MEILLER will be exhibit­ing in Hanover from 15 to 20 Sep­tem­ber 2026. The stand is locat­ed in Pavil­ion P32, which includes an out­door area.

Erwin Kartnaller

Erwin Kartnaller has been a fixture in Swiss trade journalism covering commercial vehicles and mobility for over four decades. After 16 years working for daily newspapers and family magazines, he moved into trade media and wrote for virtually every commercial vehicle magazine published in Switzerland, with very few exceptions. For nine and a half years, he was editor-in-chief of the Swiss Commercial Vehicle Association ASTAG's magazine, where his precise language and clear stance had a lasting impact on industry communication. This was followed by positions in the automotive industry, including at Eurotax autoinformation and aboutFLEET. He also wrote specialist articles for Auto&Wirtschaft and Auto Bild Schweiz. With his platform www.ekacom.com (http://www.ekacom.com/), he continued to wield his “sharp pen” – an independent voice for clear words and pointed commentary. In his last professional role as editor-in-chief of Polyscope, he immersed himself in the world of electronics – a field that is increasingly shaping mobility. Today, after his active professional life, Erwin Kartnaller is once again devoting himself entirely to his passion on the mobility-360.ch platform: mobility in all its facets.
