Special axles – millimetres make all the difference

Low-loader trailers are specialist vehicles equipped with running gear featuring multiple special axles, enabling them to handle heavy loads and achieve impressive feats. Christian Hoene, Product Manager for Customised Solutions at BPW, understands how to make the most of customer projects with customised running gear solutions from BPW.

Big Picture

Timber transport of superlatives

This semi-trailer combination can carry more than 144 tonnes of logs over selected routes in the Kaingaroa Forest, the largest forest on the North Island of New Zealand. The “Kenworth C509 6×4 Day Cab” pulls three semi-trailers with a total of twelve BPW axles and can thus carry up to 50 percent more timber than a double combination. At 53 metres long, it is also the largest combination on the road in the region – and also the longest vehicle ever tested by the national magazine “NZ Truck & Driver”.(Photo: Rotorua Forest Haulage)

On 96 wheels to the destination

12 BPW axles and 96 wheels of a self-propelled heavy-duty module were directed by the employee of Hofmann Kran-Vermietung GmbH & Co. KG used his control panel for this transport: When these 63.50-meter rotor blades were driven to a wind turbine in the Saarlouis district, he ran behind the transporter to skillfully maneuver it past obstacles such as lampposts, power lines and closely packed houses. The transport took around three hours to cover the seven-kilometer distance, with four Hofmann employees accompanying it. The company has been operating as a truck-mounted crane rental company since 1962 and is regarded as a strong partner, particularly by manufacturers of wind turbines and companies in the reinforced concrete construction or large-scale industry sectors, whose technical equipment can cope with even the heaviest loads, high unit weights and large dimensions.
