GIANTS ON THE ROAD NOOTEBOOM SHOP Mercedes-Benz SLT with Nooteboom Euro-PX 1+3 in 1:50 Nooteboom is a very strong brand name, and this is underlined by the fact that more than 10,000 scale models in different versions are sold every year. Collectors all over the world know to come to Nooteboom if they’re after truly stunning models. The programme is constantly updated. After the 7-axle Ballasttrailer, which became available at the beginning of 2016, we now proudly present the Nooteboom Euro-PX 1+3. The tractor is a Mercedes-Benz SLT 8x4 and the load floor of the trailer is extendible. This combination can be ordered now from the Nooteboom Shop at € 159. The well-known Multi-PX semi low-loader has already been available in a 6-axle configuration. A version with 5 axles will soon become available too. The Nooteboom models are highly detailed and every model will be a worthwhile addition to your collection. 6 BROUWER ZWAAR & SPECIAAL TRANSPORT Impressive combination Brouwer Zwaar & Speciaal Transport BV from Nieuwegein recently put a Nooteboom 5-axle Euro-PX with a 2-axle Jeepdolly into service. In front of the low-loader is a Volvo FM 10x4/6 heavy transport tractor. The low-loader had to meet three essential requirements: more than 90 tonnes load capacity, excellent manoeuvrability and space to transport large drilling machines. These three requirements have been met: it has a load capacity of around 95 tonnes, the Jeepdolly makes it possible to use the combination on sites that are difficult to access and the diesel power pack is integrated semi-sunken in the neck construction. The dimensions of the 2-axle Jeepdolly make it suitable for the Volvo 10x4/6 tractor. The extra-long, detachable neck is good for a fifth wheel load of 57 tonnes. The combination, with 12 axles and a load capacity of 95 tonnes, is perfectly capable of manoeuvring in even the tightest locations. Klaas Brouwer: “We can transport virtually anything, from hydraulic machines, pile-drivers and other heavy loads to locomotives. With this new Volvo / Nooteboom combination we can meet the requirements of our customers even better.”
