BELGIAN SPECIAL Types trailer manufacturer Faymonville has introduced a new version of its Mega Z1+5 gooseneck lowloader, featuring a loadbed that can be hydraulically widened from 2.75m to 3.85m.
The Hydro-shift expanding semi does away with traditional manual bed expanders, saving time and risk of injury to drivers. It also offers Special Types hauliers safer loading as the front ramps widen with the bed, plus enhanced stability and a higher degree of flexibility from its easily adjustable width.
Faymonville has designed the Hydro-shift trailer to suit STGO operators who transport wider equipment with a design that does not allow "straddling" when loading, and which require a high level of stability during transport. One of the first operators to take a Hydro-shift is Belgian haulier Jan Coesens Transport de Geeraardsbergen.
Faymonville is also offering a lighter version of its best-selling two-axle Mega low-loader.The new model has a thinner gooseneck — slimmed down from 680 to 400mm — and narrower axles, although the length of the loading platform increases from 5,700 to 6,850mm. Loading height is down from 450 to 300mm.
