Faymonville optimises MultiMAX Plus semi-trailer

Luxemberg headquartered manufacturer of special vehicles for heavy load transport and special transport, Faymonville, has optimised its MultiMAX Plus semi-trailer (formerly known as the EuroMAX), which the company says is particularly suitable for the transportation of mobile lifting and height access equipment.

Faymonville has weight-optimised its design and it says the semi-trailer offers a high point load capacity. An outer beam construction is designed to provide users with the maximum possible loading area length, while a hydraulic lifting platform is designed to provide easy access onto the gooseneck. A winch can be mounted in front or on top of the gooseneck and different headboards are available to provide storage space for lashing materials.

To facilitate the smooth loading of machines with little ground clearance Faymonville says the MultiMAX Plus has flat drive-on angles in the area of the ramps and gooseneck as well as an optimised rear chamfer.

The loading platform is also available with a 3,000 mm extension in order to optimise the load distribution. 44 lashing rings and 28 lashing points on the loading platform and up to 30 lashing points on the gooseneck are designed to provide the optimal securing of loads.

Available internationally, the three-axle MultiMAX Plus can be ordered in power-steered and friction-steered versions. Despite its all-surface serrated grid floor covering, the vehicle has a low loading height – which Faymonville says is an advantage when transporting high machines. The double ramps have a width of 900 mm and also come with the serrated grid floor covering. The ramps include quay loading supports with a load capacity of 18 tonnes. Hydraulically controlled ramp tips enable the ramps to be opened without stressing the materials, says Faymonville. Thanks to the hydraulic ramp shift, optimal loading conditions can be created for each machine, it adds.
