January 25, 2017 - Belgian trailer manufacturer Faymonville will showcase its trailer range developed for the North American market at ConExpo.
A four-axle DualMAX dual-lane trailer on display at the show is a modular semi-trailer that can be widened under load from 13’11” to 20 ft. Faymonville pioneered this patented lift and shift principle, which allows it to optimize the load distribution and adapt to different states’ regulations.The steering system doesn’t need to be disassembled for the widening process.
The folded frame is less than 8 ft. wide and 8 ft. tall, making return transports easily possible on conventional lowbed or flatbed trailers. The chassis of the DualMAX is fully metallized (zinc-plated), thus offering the best corrosion protection available on the market.
Faymonville is also showing a three-axle MegaMAX super low, double drop trailer at ConExpo. It is available with diverse deck types, such as the lowest stretch perimeter deck available in the market or a non-stretch flat deck. It is the ideal solution for extremely high and bulky goods, such as industrial parts, machinery or oversized containers.
The MegaMAX also features its king-pin steering—a unique feature in North America—which allows access into tight areas. The MegaMAX is available with three axles on air suspension (total stroke of 9.4 in). With a compressed length of 53 ft. total and a width of 100 in. without outriggers, it can be run empty without any escorts or permits.
Key advantages include:
- Hydraulic self-lifting detachable gooseneck for continuous height adjustment and easy access with machines
- 108” gooseneck rear swing clearance
- Super low perimeter stretch deck – 13.8” drive height (at 3.9”ground clearance)
- Deck length 25’ closed – stretches to 42’4”
- Detachable rear bogie to additionally increase the length using deck inserts (79”-118”-158”)
- Also available with non-stretch flat deck - 10.8” drive height (at 3.9”ground clearance)
- Automatically steering axles (king-pin steering), with override remote-control
- 42° steering angle
- PTO connection and Honda pony motor for hydraulic functions
- Around 100,000 lbs technical capacity
The electric and pneumatic components are DOT approved, following US standards.
A new four-axle G-SL module will be on display at the Faymonville booth. This modular trailer has high bending moment on the market and highest point load above wheel arches (50,000 kg / 110,000 lbs). The G-SL module allows 99,225-lb. axle load per axle line and a steering angle from -60/+60°. A reinforced lamellar bolt coupling is used and a wheel set mounted on pivot bearing with adjustable conical roller bearings.
The modular lines feature premium brand swivel axles, rims and tires. These G-SL modules are also available in a self-propelled version (APMC and SPMC). An additional option is split bogies, available for three-file combinations.
