1. Goosenecks
■ Central beam neck (ZT)
If aspecially heavy loads for construction and industry sites
need to be transported, a central beam in the gooseneck is
selected for the low bed semi-trailer. This enables a simple
and light coupling process and thereby smooth loading from
the front. Such a central beam neck is indispensable when
adding a 2 or 3-axle dolly to the low bed semi-trailer.

■ Outer beam neck (AT)

The MegaMAX low bed semi-trailer is the optimum solution when transporting This type of gooseneck also makes it possible to use a 1-axle
dolly, which is especially applicable when transporting indust-
higher goods, industrial parts or machines. The low loading height can prove to be rial goods.
the deciding factor in such cases. The MegaMAX is also the best option for maxi-
mum manoeuvrability and operation flexibility.

The MegaMAX, a tried and tested product series with a complete range of specific
options to enable customised vehicle designs and combinations.

4. Goosenecks
Front bogies
The GigaMAX is defined by gooseneck with integrated Pend-
le-axle bogie. Thereby, it creates an extremely compact loading
platform and the integrated Pendle-axle increases the payload
in the front vehicle section. The central hook adapter allows for
easy (un-)coupling of the lowbed and loading from the front.

The low bed semi-trailer with a pendle axle

integrated behind the gooseneck
The GigaMAX is a low bed semi-trailer designed for heavy duty and
special transports.
Based on 3 to 6 axles, the GigaMAX can cope with a high technical payload while
featuring a compact design. The 1-2 axles integrated behind the gooseneck con-
tribute to the further reduction of the overall length and weight of the combination.

Main characteristics
■ Length and weight-optimized construction
■ Maximum manoeuvrability and efficiency during loading and transport
■ Also available in a lightweight version
■ Removable gooseneck

5. Goosenecks
Front bogies
The VarioMAX allows for 1-3 axle bogies to be connected
directly behind the gooseneck, Thanks to its central beam
construction, the gooseneck can easily be (un-)coupled and
enables safe loading from the front. The front Pendle-axle
bogies can be disconnected from the gooseneck if required
and can be transported on the lowbed when driving empty to
minimize the total length.

The low bed semi-trailer with a removable pendle axle bogie

between the gooseneck and the low bed.
The VarioMAX is a particularly adaptable and versatile series of semi-trailers,
consisting of a front and rear bogie, based on 3 to 9 axles.
The low loading height and high payload of the VarioMAX semi-trailer are the
economic and flexible solution for numerous different tasks in heavy duty or
special transport.

Main characteristics
■ Low loading height
■ High payload
■ Also available in a lightweight version

6. Low beds
Low beds are available in many different shapes and
payload categories. The customer can either select from
a wide range of standardised beds or a custom-made
loading platform to suit the individual requirements.

■ KBV: Hydraulic widenable

vesseldeck
The vesseldeck offers maximum flexibility
with an extendable loading floor by using
hydraulic widening. These low beds are
available as single or double telescopic
units. The high load-carrying capacity
creates the ideal solution for transporting
industrial vessels, transformers or boats. X

■ Hydraulic swing axle (PA)

Swing axles are especially suited for ap-
plications on particularly difficult routes
and under hard topographic conditions. A
maximum total lift of impressive 600 mm H
as well as the maximum steering angle
of over 60° characterize this type of axle.
The swing movement enables the opti-
mum axle-load compensation between

■ Twin Axle II - Independent

suspension (TAII)
The independent suspension „Twin Axle
II“ enables an increase of the payload to H
12 tons per axle in various countries (e.g.
Germany). This type of axle provides a
larger lift of 310 mm (-70 mm / +245 mm),
with the benefit of a minimum loading
height (780 mm) over the axles. The

maximum steering angle of 55°.
