Sawiko offers nearly two decades of solutions dedicated to caravanning enthusiasts - from the design and production of support systems to fastening systems. Since January 2012, the German manufacturer has been a company of the AL-KO group. The combination of the competences of both companies resulted in new proposals in the field of transport systems.

During Caravan Salon 2015, new products from both companies (Sawiko / AL-KO) were presented. All of them are a response to the needs of safe and comfortable transport of two-wheelers.

TRINEO - park the scooter with the remote control

The Trineo is a ramp for automatic loading of the scooter. The presented system, mounted in the garage of the motorhome, is the most comfortable solution on the market. The loading and unloading operation requires minimal effort, because after the ramp is extended and it is lowered, a two-wheeler with a maximum weight of 150 kg docks on its own thanks to an electric winch, controlled by a wireless remote control. The complete system weighs 22 kg and a space of 2000 x 500mm is required for installation inside the garage.

Universal transport platform - type LIGERO II and MIKRO

The new transport platform from Sawiko offers the greatest flexibility. Thanks to the modular design, it can be combined with single, double or triple rails while you wait. The platform dimensions are then: 1885 x 540 x 70 mm; 1885 x 720 x 70 mm; 1885 x 550 x 70 mm. All fasteners, including wheel chocks, are equipped with a practical ratchet system, which guarantees easy assembly / disassembly and tool-free loading / unloading operations.

Sawiko KAWA II - universal transport platform for vans

The new universal transport platform for vans offers greater flexibility. It is suitable for transporting up to three bicycles (also electric) or one scooter and one bicycle. The optional mounting rack can be easily removed to open the rear door fully. KAWA II is installed directly to the structure of the vehicle's supporting frame. Net weight - without mounting kits - is approx. 43 kg. The dimensions of the platform are 1,875 mm in length and 550 mm in depth.

TRAIGO 500 - a light and compact transport trailer with a load capacity of 350 kg

The model with an aluminum platform is a new proposition from Sawiko, although renowned AL-KO elements (drawbar and wheel suspension) were used in its construction. Due to its low weight - only 150 kg, it is simple and easy to use. Thanks to the rails integrated with the platform and optional bows, it is possible to securely attach the two-wheelers, locking them during transport by the wheels. The length of the trailer (including the short drawbar) is only 1.83 cm. The width (1,950 mm) guarantees its use by most vehicles used in motor tourism. Loading and unloading is facilitated by a low platform - only 640 mm above the ground.

Thule presents Thule Flow - a roof-mounted ski rack for winter sports fans

The first Thule ski rack was created in the 1970s - since then, the company's goal has been to provide skiers with solutions that enable them to transport their equipment comfortably, safely and in style. The proof is Thule Flow - the new roof-mounted ski rack, distinguished by its aerodynamic shape and the highest level of equipment protection. Flow holds skis up to 210 cm long, and its wide, flat shape also allows you to conveniently transport snowboards, poles and other accessories. Of course, like all Thule products, the Flow is also very easy to install and easy to load - thanks to the low rack height. On the one hand, its characteristic shape is reminiscent of classic Thule products, and on the other hand, it fits perfectly with modern cars. Safety is a priority for all Thule products - the company tests all its roof boxes comprehensively, both in its own Thule Test Center ™ and under real road conditions. When choosing a Thule ski rack, you can be sure that you are choosing one of the safest and most thoroughly tested products on the market. Thule Flow is extremely easy to use and install - thanks to the quick and convenient system using the PowerClick knob. Its interior can be accessed from both sides thanks to the Dual-Side system. When developing its characteristic, streamlined shape, Computerized Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology was used - this allowed for perfect aerodynamics, reduced fuel consumption and minimized driving noise.

Holidays with a pet - transport and stay at the campsite

There are many dog and cat lovers among motorhome owners. Some of them, when planning their dream vacation, do not want to or cannot leave the pet at home and therefore decide to take it with them on vacation. However, we must be aware that, especially on long journeys, he must travel in the right conditions. The same applies to the campsite - choose one that is pet-friendly. How to make sure that holidays are not a pain for our four-legged friend or for us?. Camping accessories currently available on the market allow you to transport animals not only in comfortable but also safe conditions. An excellent option are, above all, all kinds of transporters , which we can buy for several dozen zlotys, depending on the size of our pet. For small dogs and cats, it's a good idea to buy a foldable transporter that can only be set up while driving. The offer of camping accessories stores includes both metal and fabric models. After purchasing the transporter, place it properly in the vehicle. On the one hand, it should be stably positioned between fixed elements of the motorhome 's equipment, and on the other hand, it should provide the animal with constant access to fresh air. Larger dogs should be transported in closed transporters in the form of a "cage". Due to their large size, the installation of such models is usually carried out inside the vehicle.
