Company Geo Transport and Construction from Cebu, the Philippines, has used a Faymonville low bed trailer to transport a rough terrain crane.

Geo had to move its Tadano RT Crane GR1450-EX, one of the biggest cranes from the supplier in this category with a weight of around 80t without counterweights. They decided to move this huge machine with a special version of the 8x4 MAN truck and a four-axle MegaMAX low bed trailer by Faymonville. 

The aim for Company Geo was to reach maximum maneuverability in the narrow streets of the Philippine cities. Therefore, some specific technical requirements have been defined in the conception of the Faymonville trailer. The vehicle has been equipped with 19.5in pendle-axles. These kind of axles permits a technical axle load of 16.5t on each axle and a steering angle of 60°.

The king-pin steering on these trailers offers maneuverability and allows to access extremely tight areas such as construction sites, power plants or inner cities. The hydraulic detachable gooseneck allows continuous height adjustment and a maximum of flexibility during loading and unloading of construction machinery.
