Low-loaders for the transport of high, heavy and bulky loads

EURO Nooteboom Euro low-loaders are used for transporting e.g. earthmoving machines, tracked plant, vessels, wheel loaders, boats, combine harvesters and machinery components. Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is 134 tonnes at 80 km/hr for the largest low-loader combination. The conventional low-loader is equipped as standard with hydraulic suspension (air suspension optional) and hydraulic command steering. The hydraulic steering ensures maximum manoeuvrability and keeps tyre wear to a minimum.

The low-loaders are available in many configurations. They can be supplied in versions with 2 to 5 axles, in widths of 2540 and 2740 mm and there is a wide choice of load floors. To increase the payload and improve the axle load distribution a Jeepdolly or Interdolly can be added to the front of the combination. The rear axle bogie can be equipped with a boom recess or a V-shape, which is useful for carrying loads such as excavators or vessels. The height of the axle assembly is from 860 mm (2 axles) to 1040 mm (5 axles), ensuring there is always enough ground clearance to cope with bumpy...

EURO SUPER-SHORT BOGIE 2-AXLE LOW-LOADER The 2-axle low-loader is equipped as standard with a super-short axle assembly providing well over 50 cm extra net load floor length with the overall length staying the same. In spite of the compact build, the wide and deep trough along the entire length of the axle assembly is retained. To facilitate the loading of self-propelled machinery, the axle assembly is extremely low and has a beaver tail both front and rear. The aluminium ramps can be hooked onto an integrated u-shaped section at the front and u-shaped section at the rear.

PENDEL-X The latest generation of low-loaders is the Nooteboom PXE Pendel-X Euro lowloaders. This low-loader is equipped with pendle axles and is the ultimate transport solution for the transport of construction and earthmoving machinery. For the transport of boats and vessels the Pendel-X low-loader offers important advantages too. The axle assembly of a Pendel-X Euro low-loader is extremely compact; in comparison with a conventional lowloader it is as much as 260 mm shorter. Moreover, there are no longer any protruding parts at the front of the axle assembly. In practice this means there...

The PXE low-loaders are constructed on 14 t/axle line at 80 km/h and have an ultra-wide and deep excavator trough in the axle assembly. The Pendel-X Euro low-loader adds an important extra dimension to low-loader transport, combining the advantages of the excavator trough and user-friendly operation of a conventional low-loader with the load capacity, steering and compensation of a modular trailer. Compared with a conventional lowloader the PXE low-loader offers a significant higher payload capacity.

PENDEL-X The Pendel-X low-loader can be supplied with 2, 3, 4 or 5 pendle axle lines and in widths of 2540, 2740, 2840 and 2990 mm. If extra payload capacity is needed a 1-axle and 2-axle Jeepdolly as well as a 2-axle and 3-axle Interdolly can be added to the PXE low-loaders. The height of the Pendel-X Euro lowloader axle assembly can be adjusted from 960 mm in the lowest position to 1360 mm in the highest position.

The ingenious steering system of the Nooteboom Pendel-X low-loader gives it excellent manoeuvrability. The steering system is also extremely maintenancefriendly as it has very few components. For instance, the steering cylinders are connected directly to the axle beams so that there is no longer any need for extra transmission components.

LOAD FLOORS loaders Nooteboom has a wide range of load floors, which means there is a solution on hand for any kind of trans- port as regards floor type, length, width Versions that can be supplied are e.g. a fixed (non-extendible) floor, extendi- ble floor, vessel floor and spine floor. Load floor width extension, removable floor parts, wheel wells, hydraulic width adjustment and load surface extension parts are just a few examples of the many extra options available. FINGER JOINTS LOAD FLOOR Load floors can be fitted with finger joints as an option. This not only offers the benefit of...

STEP FLOOR Step floor SPINE FLOOR Combine floor Hydraulic width adjustment Extendible spine bed with width adjustment VESSEL FLOOR The vessel floors are available in many versions, e.g. with hydraulic width adjustment, single or double extendible. With separate extension main side beams, either extendible or non-extendible, the overall load floor length can be increased further. The vessel floor is also the perfect solution for the transport of loads such as boats and crates. STEP FLOOR For the transport of wheel loaders in particular, even more carrying height can be created by using a...

GOOSENECK To facilitate loading and unloading, nearly all lowloaders are equipped with a hydraulic detachable gooseneck as standard. As an option they can be supplied with a fixed gooseneck or hydraulically adjustable gooseneck. The type of gooseneck depends on the low-loader configuration, the type of tractors to be used and dollies (if applicable). To increase the payload capacity and improve the axle-load distribution, the low-loader combination can be equipped with a Jeepdolly of Interdolly.

AND DOLLIES JEEPDOLLY The Nooteboom Jeepdolly is an extremely compact mini semi-trailer positioned between the gooseneck and tractor. Nooteboom supplies 1-axle and 2-axle detachable Jeepdollies. The main purpose of the Jeepdolly is to simply increase the load capacity at the front of the low-loader in order to prevent overloading the tractor. A Jeepdolly provides excellent manoeuvrability, owing to the extra turning point between Jeepdolly and gooseneck. The Jeepdolly is usually detachable. Depending on the load capacity needed it can simply be left out of the vehicle combination. In many...
