Innovation Manoovr programme
NEW MANOOVR WITH
EXCAVATOR TROUGH
IN THE SPACE OF ONE YEAR NOOTEBOOM’S ‘MANOOVR’
TECHNOLOGY HAS BECOME A HOUSEHOLD WORD IN THE
WORLD OF INTERNATIONAL ABNORMAL TRANSPORT. THE LATEST
INNOVATION IN THE MANOOVR PROGRAMME IS A VERSION WITH
AN EXCAVATOR TROUGH. THIS OPTION MAKES THE SEMI LOWLOADER EVEN MORE VERSATILE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE TRANSPORT OF
EXCAVATORS OR DEMOLITION MACHINERY AS THE BOOM ARM CAN
BE POSITIONED IN THE TROUGH.
EXPANSION MANOOVR PROGRAMME
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE MANOOVR
The excavator trough is available as standard on all semi low-loaders of
the Manoovr generation that have up to six axles. Other vehicles from
the Manoovr generation can be equipped with an excavator trough on
request. The width of the excavator trough depends on the width of the
vehicle. With a vehicle width of 2,740 mm the excavator trough is 800
mm wide and with a trailer that is 2,890 mm wide the excavator trough’s
width increases to 950 mm. The Manoovr semi low-loader with excavator trough is available with axle distances of 1360 mm or 1510 mm.
With the Manoovr technology Nooteboom offers many advantages that
are not affected by the application of an excavator trough. In comparison
to alternative brands, the Nooteboom Manoovr semi low-loader has important, unique advantages such as: floor height 780 mm, 500 mm suspension stroke, 60 degrees steering angle, tyres lasting 300,000 km and
12 tonnes per axle in Europe. The result: low tyre costs, low maintenance
costs and a high residual value. Combined with aluminium or hydraulic
ramps the Manoovr with excavator trough is the ideal multifunctional
semi-trailer for the transport of machinery.
Nooteboom is rapidly developing new versions and options for the
Manoovr generation. The version with an excavator trough too was
ordered unseen by several transport operators and the first ones are soon
being put into service by Van der Vlist. Many drivers will also appreciate
the excavator trough because it is an ideal place for storing the wheel
chocks and chains. And that’s a (not insignificant) added bonus. ■
