LASO TRANSPORTS SA
“Nooteboom
trailers are
especially popular
with our drivers”
Based on the good experiences with
Nooteboom trailers, LASO Transports
SA from Malveira in Portugal has placed
another order, this time for Nooteboom
semi-trailers in various versions. The most
eye-catching of these are the two Manoovr
MPL 126-26 (VV) semi-trailers that will
be delivered later this year. The Manoovr
with Interdolly, introduced at the BAUMA
in Munich in April 2016, is hugely successful. What’s especially important for LASO
with this version is the low floor height,
the extremely favourable tyre wear and
the low maintenance costs. This order also
includes six Euro 54-03 low-loaders and
several Euro 114-24 low-loaders with an
Interdolly.
MC FADYENS TRANSPORT LTD
New Manoovr
after excellent
experience with
Multi-PX
A large part of the fleet of McFadyens
Transport from Campbeltown (UK) is used
for the transport of components for the
windmill industry. Vehicles in their extremely modern fleet include the Nooteboom SWC
Super Wing Carrier and the Mega Windmill
Transporter (MWT). Choosing the 6-axle
Manoovr semi low-loader was based on their
excellent experiences with the 6-axle MultiPX. With its low floor the Manoovr is ideal
for the transport of windmill tower sections
and generators, but also for the transport
of wheeled loaders, tracked machinery or
industrial moves.
DE LANGE SPECIAAL TRANSPORT
“Twelve tonnes
per axle is a big
advantage in the
Netherlands”
From their office in Dordrecht (NL), De Lange
Speciaal Transport organises abnormal transport operations across Europe. A transport
measuring more than 5 metre in width, from
Germany to Poland, is no exception. For this
kind of transport the reliability of the trailers
is a prerequisite. Nooteboom is the ‘preferred
supplier’ for the trailers. The result: around 20
Nooteboom vehicles in the fleet. Based on their
excellent experience with the 6-axle Multi-PX
the fleet was recently extended with a Manoovr
2+6. Consequently De Lange Speciaal
Transport is guaranteed a high load capacity
throughout Europe and low running costs.
LASO Transportes SA is one of the largest
companies specialising in abnormal
transport in Europe. A large part of the
LASO fleet, with 850 units, consists of
vehicles for the transport of windmills.
LASO has more than 200 Nooteboom
semi-trailers, varying from simple 3-axle
semi low-loaders to the most advanced
Super Wing Carriers and Mega Windmill
Transporters. When choosing its trailers
LASO not only makes a choice because of
the vehicles, but also because of the service and the pleasant working relationship
with Nooteboom.
