As requirements are complex when firms want to add a new semi-trailer, the two-axle MegaMax has been designed with a low loading height of 300mm and a bed that is extendable by 5.85m. It will be ideal for customers like Kösters from the Siegerland region of Germany, which transports half-shells for offshore wind farms.
"We very often exploit the maximum allowed payload, but the lowbed can handle that without any problems at all", said Dennis Pieper from Kösters Transporte. "All of the drivers are able to disconnect the gooseneck or extend the bed without any difficulties."
With a bed length of 6.85m and a minimal net weight of 12.5t, the vehicle remains within the legal provisions of 16.5m total trailer length.
