4 Logistics manager Nico van de Wetering has nothing but praise for the Pendel-X. Just like his uncle, managing director Alex van de Wetering. They experience the practical advantages of the low-loader on a daily basis. Not only in small marinas, but also in seaports because quite often the boats travel part of the way by ferry. To and from England, Scandinavia, Belgium, Spain, Italy or Greece. “The Pendel-X has a much more generous ground clearance than other low-loaders, which is of great benefit when we have to drive over the loading ramps of the ferries. Or when we have to cross railway lines,...

If the owners arrive by plane on Saturday, the boat must be there on Friday”. Extra load capacity In addition to the manoeuvrability, the extra load capacity of 13.4 tonnes (even as much as 14 tonnes with exemption!) per axle line of the Pendel-X is a huge advantage: Nico: “In Germany especially, where we often drive through on the way to Slovenia or Croatia, we have 12 tonnes per axle line at our disposal. If we then have to choose between...

6 Ballast Semi-trailer for extra ballast and commercial vehicle Clever and practical too, that’s what you can safely call our Ballast Semi-trailer. The Ballast semi-trailer is a perfect godsend, because now the crane operators can take extra ballast and their commercial vehicle along to the building site, together with their 80-tonne to 160-tonne telescopic cranes. And if the crane operator wants to go home or to a hotel, he doesn’t have to clock up unnecessary, expensive crane kilometres. After all, the crane is meant to be used for other purposes. Since the first prototype in 2007 the Ballast...

Trailer News Magazine april 2009 - nr 20 7 The largest crane hire company in Great Britain, Ainscough Crane Hire, decided last year to renew and add to their fleet in a big way. The crane hire company opted for Nooteboom’s 6-axle Ballasttrailer type OVB-102-06 with hydraulic steering. The British crane hire company has ordered 22 of these ballast trailers in total to increase their already large fleet of Nootebooms. The first were delivered towards the end of last year. By now nearly all the vehicles are delivered and in use at Ainscough. The 6-axle Ballasttrailer OVB-102-06 was specially developed...

8 Managing Director Eric Hufkens of ADM Team Heavy Weight from Geel in Belgium is positive and critical about Nooteboom at the same time. During the nineties he had personal contact with former owner Dick Nooteboom, for whom he has a great deal of respect. Together with Nooteboom, and his engineers at that time which included Vincent van der Vondervoort, Hufkens worked out the concept for the Interdolly, the idea being to significantly reduce the weight on the tractor, especially with heavy transports. After Dick Nooteboom left, Hufkens was less happy for a while with the Dutch trailer manufacturer....

As if to underline his words, ADM will start on the construction of a new service centre this year, next to the so-called RoRo-quay on the Albertkanaal, within a stone’s throw of the existing ADM site. The company will soon be able to offer additional services such as storage, packaging and shipping of goods. Nooteboom FLET That Hufkens remains a ‘big fan’ of Nooteboom is made obvious by a tour of the company site. All the tractors are young Volvo’s from 6x2 to 8x4, but most...

Trailer News Magazine april 2009 - nr 20 11 The spine floor can be adjusted from the smallest width of 1500 mm without bolsters up to a width of 2840 mm with bolsters. Even at a standard width of 2500 mm the bolsters can already be fitted on the extension beams. The load floor can then be extended further, up to a maximum of 3200 mm, and the bolsters will automatically slide along the width. Extremely driver-friendly Driver Berend Top of Jager Midwolde is very enthusiastic: “From now on I can put the entire load floor in the required position with one push of a button. This takes about a quarter...
