In 2005 Nooteboom brought the revolutionary EURO-PX low-loader on the market. For the first time a wide and deep excavator trough was combined with pendle axles in the axle bogie. The EURO-PX low-loader with patented Pendel-X technology proves to be an important addition for low-loader transport. Not least because it combines an excavator trough and the easy operation of a conventional low-loader with the load capacity, steering and stroke of a modular trailer.
New generation
From 2009 the design of the axle bogie of the EURO-PX low-loader has been optimised on important points:
• Stroke has been increased to 600mm
• Inside wheel can be easily and quickly changed
• Air tanks are integrated in the central beam of the axle bogie, eleminates the risk of getting damaged
• Long life of bearings and hoses
• Standard hose rupture safety valve on every pendle axle.
Advantages
The advantages of the EURO-PX low-loader compared with a conventional low-loader includes:
• Higher axle load in most European countries, resulting in an extremely high payload
• Wider and deeper excavator trough for the transport of larger excavators
• Very compact axle bogie, resulting in a shorter combination length or more load floor length
• Increased suspension stroke, which makes loading/unloading and negotiating obstacles easier
• Unprecedented manoeuvrability due to large steering angle
The EURO-PX low-loader is available with e.g.:
• Hydropneumatic suspension with raise/lower function and 600mm stroke
• Technical axle load of 12t/axle line or 14t/axle line at 80 km/h
• SAF axles or BPW axles
• Tyres 245/70R17.5 or 285/70R19.5
