Prangl buys Faymonville flatbeds
18 January 2022Wind industry drives Prangl to invest in three blade transporters
Vienna, Austria-headquartered transport, lifting and logistics specialist Prangl has extended its capabilities to move wind turbine rotor blades of up to 70 metres in length with the purchase of three new WingMAX flatbeds from trailer manufacturer Faymonville.
According to Faymonville, the trailers will simplify the handling of long wind turbine blades due to its large gooseneck stroke, a long loading platform with four-fold extension, and strong 19.5-inch pendle-axles.
A slideable load support for the blade tipping frame enables the flatbed to be shortened even under load. “This refinement is a genuine help in passing through winding road sections with more ease,” explained Faymonville sales representative Mario Balter.
Faymonville said it has cooperated closely with Prangl for a number of years regarding vehicle technology for special and heavy duty transport. Prangl is a full-range supplier when it comes to wind power assignments covering everything from the transport of system components to the assembly of the wind turbines. Prangl is a family-run company with 16 locations in six countries and a total of almost 700 employees. It operates across Europe.
