■
The Megatrailer with a perfectly flat load floor is available in various versions with lengths of up to 29 metres
- Loaded load floor height in drive position only approx. 980mm
(-70mm/+130mm)
- Pull-out outriggers (optional)
- Excellent weight distribution
COMPREHENSIVE OPTION PACKAGE
The standard equipment of the Megatrailers is comprehensive and includes air suspension, self-tracking steering or hydraulic steering and a large
number of TÜV-certified lashing eyes. With its well-thought-out option
package the Megatrailer can be optimised as required for specific applications with options such as twistlocks, outriggers, a detachable sliding
bolster, a tall headboard and aluminium ramps.
INVESTMENT RETAINS ITS VALUE
During the past few years the production of the Nooteboom SMART
series has been optimised. This enables Nooteboom to offer top-quality
Megatrailers manufactured with A-brand components only at a very
competitive price. Their great reliability, low operating costs, extremely
long service life and high residual value result in the lowest possible cost
per kilometre.
In the day-to-day practice the Nooteboom Megatrailer is a multifunctional marvel. With the flatbed floor there is a much better chance of
securing a suitable return load than with a floor that has a gooseneck.
The number of empty kilometres can be restricted as the Megatrailer is
eminently suitable for the transport of divisible loads such as containers,
building materials and smaller machinery. But of course the most important advantage is the low floor. For instance when transporting office
units it will be possible to carry two units, where a semi low-loader can
only load one single unit. The Nooteboom Megatrailer: efficient transport starts with choosing the right trailer. ■
Two options: self-tracking
or hydraulic steering
