Meier & Sohn transports industrial boiler using Faymonville CombiMax

The industrial boiler was 30m long and had a diameter of 5m.  Meier & Sohn mechanics put together a 12-axle semi-low loader with telescopable add-on beam in order to transport it.

“The mass wasn’t really a challenge, because the selected combination offers a technically possible payload of over 150t. However, it was especially the length that preoccupied the planners of this construction site conversion,” Faymonville said.

General manager at Meier & Sohn Bernd Meier, said: “The fast conversion as well as this variability are the great advantage for us, as a relatively small company. Because that way we don´t need to have every type of low loader in our fleet, which we couldn't use to full capacity in any case. The CombiMax, by contrast, is used every day and its flexibility makes it a valuable tool.”

Meier & Sohn has been a Faymonville customer for almost 25 years. Among the equipment it acquired is the CombiMax combination.

Meier said: “For us, the CombiMax is primarily used in connection with orders for the wind energy industry. But we also use the variable possibilities for deploying the CombiMax either as a lowbed or a semi-combination for machinery and installations, transformers or boilers. In addition, we’ve already been able to show what it can do in the construction sector.”
