Das glanzvolle “Blechmobil”
Anyone who wants to transport a tuba will quickly run into limitations with conventional trailers. It’s not so much about the weight itself, but rather the instrument’s large dimensions and its unique center of gravity. This testimonial from Karl Schwerzer, an instrument maker from Petersaurach, shows that our Hxxxl-Light, paired with the right aluminum case, offers a solution.
An important technical note for anyone transporting similarly delicate cargo: We have since developed a high-performance suspension system that was not yet available at the time of this purchase. It provides even better protection for the contents against hard impacts and can be easily retrofitted to almost all older Hinterher models.
The full customer quote:
“How do you transport a tuba to a location that’s hard to reach by car and that’s also so far from the nearest parking lot that carrying such a heavy instrument poses a daunting challenge even for athletic people?”
What if you want to combine the joy of exercise with sustainability when traveling shorter distances?
So, in short, how do you transport a tuba by bike? Most bike trailers aren’t suitable; either they’re too short, or the tuba’s center of gravity is such that the trailer wouldn’t be stable, or it wouldn’t be easy to secure the tuba properly, or, or, or...
But seek and you shall find: the “Hxxxl-Light” trailer, together with the aluminum case, meets all the criteria for the safe transport of a heavy and, at the same time, valuable—shiny gold!—instrument. In fact, it’s so large that it can hold more than just a tuba—you can easily stow numerous instruments and take them wherever you want. It can even handle uphill climbs without an electric motor when the trailer is loaded to the brim with melodious brass instruments.
