September 15, 2015 - Just a few weeks after the market launch of Faymonville's HighwayMAX in North America, some of the leading companies in the North American transport sector acquired the trailer.
The trailer was designed for special commodity transport on the roads and highways of North America. It complies with national regulations with regard to axle group dimensions, thereby allowing maximum payload. The HighwayMAX is an extendable on-road heavy-haul trailer with nine hydraulically steered, pendular axles and a technical payload of 260,000 lbs.
New owners of the HighwayMAX from Faymonville includes Sarens, Berard Transportation HO, Global Specialized, Penney, Steve Sharp, and Capital City HO.
“With its pendular axles with a stroke of 23.6 in. and a turning angle of +/-60 degrees, the HighwayMAX is unique in North America” says Paul Hönen of Faymonville. “The fully metalized frame ensures the best corrosion protection available on the market. The extremely high demand for this new commodity in the USA and Canada highlights its innovative character.”
He added that the HighwayMAX has improved characteristics with regard to handling and technology. "The trailer can be easily retracted to attain a truck/trailer total length, not exceeding 90 ft., which eliminates the need for escorts,” Hönen said.
The technical features ensure maximum transport efficiency and contributes to transport safety. All axles allow for a narrow turning radius for maximum maneuverability. The hydraulic and mechanical fifth wheel load adjustment allows for maximum operational flexibility, as well as hydraulic gooseneck compensation with the first axle group.
