French transport and logistics specialist the Rave Group has acquired a Cometto ETL 5/4E self-propelled five-axle transporter from SNM Heavy Handling, Cometto's distributor in France.

The low-profile cabin steelworks vehicle has a total payload capacity of 140t. The flat loading platform is 14.1m long by 2.99m wide. The electronically steered ETL is used to handle long loads such as bars and pipes.

The configuration of the hydraulic suspension of the ETL 5/4E is designed in such a way that the loading platform can be raised and lowered, meaning maximum safety when handling pallets of any type or size. Each suspension is equipped with pendle axles with a capacity of 34.3t and a maximum steering angle of 135° for this electronic version.

“Fitted with the Cometto all-wheel steering system, these transport vehicles offer limitless manoeuvrability. This means that, regardless of the number of axles, each individual wheel set moves in a synchronised way to optimise steering in each steering mode,” said Cometto.

“Operator safety is optimal in the ETL self-propelled vehicle. The cabin is equipped with the latest technology as well as a screen displaying the real-time feed from the reversing camera.”
