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.”
