On leaving the Faymonville factory in Luxembourg, the CombiMax made its way to Makkum in the northern Netherlands. There, a Hitachi ZX 870 shovel dredger weighing around 95t was waiting to be moved. Demolition et Terrassement XL had to transport the unit to a quarry in Landres, France.
The company used a 4+6 CombiMax combination with excavator trough and extendable excavator depth. In this version the semi-trailer achieves a payload of 108t.
Over a period of about a week, the 30m-long transporter combination made its way to northern France via Germany and Luxembourg. The journey through several countries was simple in terms of permits, since the CombiMax from Faymonville has the necessary CoC certification.
"The modular CombiMax principle is optimally suited. The perfect solution can be assembled according to our needs, that is ideal", said transport organiser Mr De Oliveira.
