SPECIALISED TRANSPORT Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
(or up to 6,800mm as an option); while the E-PowerPack has a rated output of 250 kW (the equivalent of approximately 340hp). Together, Goldhofer says, the combination provides easy handling, while the direct electric power transmission means that positioning loads to within a millimetre is a reality. A new operating system has
redesigned remote controls, ultra-bright LED display and an integrated inclinometer.
WIND WORK Wind farms have been growing, in number and in height, and are presenting ever-greater challenges for transporters. Goldhofer has responded with a revamp of its transport system for tower sections. The RA 3-100 (4+7) has a 100-tonne maximum payload and a stroke of 2000mm. Chassis width is 2950mm which Goldhofer says gives excellent lateral stability; the axles have air suspension. A four-point load pick-
up system and adjustable, ergonomically optimised and lighter clamping units enable one- man loading/unloading without the use of a crane. “Customer

MAXIMUM MODULARITY The Faymonville Group has expanded its MAX trailer range with the world premiere at Bauma of its MAX710 lowbed trailer for high payloads. The six-, seven- or eight-axle
variants are based on a modular system: the MAX710 comprises a gooseneck, a removable front
bogie (with two or three axles), a lowbed (as an excavator deck or with outer beams), and a rear bogie (with four or five axles). The gooseneck offers a technical fifth wheel load of 38 tonnes and is designed for 6x4 or 8x4 tractor units. “It can be spec'd with a practical radio remote control for the hydraulic functions,” says product and sales manager Mario Faymonville. “The 19.5-inch pendle-axle system of the bogies is of proven technology and high reliability, and are safe and manoeuvrable at all times, even in demanding terrain.” When looking at the front bogie,
its compactness is particularly eye-catching. “The focus of the development was clearly on the overall length of the vehicle,” he says. The bogie can be loaded onto the lowbed for unladen journeys. It is available with two or three axles. There is a choice of two extendable lowbed variants of the MAX710: the excavator deck with adjustable mattresses, and the lowbed with outer beams and fixed loading floor. A newly-developed bolt coupling is integrated into the rear bogie, which is more compact than usual and so enables further length gains. As standard, the rear area is equipped with a generously
