NOOTEBOOM MANOOVR: A ground-breaking innovation

For even greater versatility, the units are available with twin castor or dual wheels. The twin castor’s wider wheel base delivers greater stability on steeper gradients while the narrower profile of the dual castor ver- sion can turn faster and offers better ma- neuverability in smaller spaces. A third tan- dem option is also available for extremely rough terrains and comprises a four wheel drive oscillating walking beam for travers- ing large rocks. The Hydralada is supplied standard with a 54 kg harvest bag as well as an hydrau- lically operated power-pruner, the Hy- draloppa with a powerful 45 mm cutting capacity. Extra counter-weights to increase balance on steep gradients are available. With a weight of 1 to 2 tons, the compact Hydralada is easy to transport and can be conveniently towed behind a bakkie at a recommended speed of 30 kph. Goscor High-Reach supports the Hydralada range with a full after-sales service that in- cludes parts, spares and maintenance. The company also offers fully accredited SETA, IWH and IPAF training from its facilities in Alrode, Johannesburg or on customers’ sites to ensure that the machines are used to their full potential and customers reap the maximum benefits offered by this re- markable machine.

The MANOOVR generation of Nooteboom makes its debut at the next BedrijfsautoRAI, staged in Amsterdam from 20 to 24 October. The MANOOVR is a completely new de- velopment and its load floor height of just 780 mm in combination with a permissible axle load of 12 tonnes makes it so unique that to be a patent has been applied for it in the Netherlands. It was designed with just one goal in mind: the best specification in the market on all the key points. And they succeeded: the Nooteboom MANOOVR is in all respects superior to semi-trailers with any type of independent suspension. The new semi low-loaders, based on the MANOOVR technology, are available with 3 to 10 axles. The newly developed suspension offers a permissible axle load of 12 tonnes throughout Europe – including the Netherlands. Combined with a 780 mm load floor height, 500 mm suspension stroke and a steering angle of up to 70 degrees, the MA- NOOVR is the ultimate solution for every operator in abnormal transport. The MANOOVR is revolutionary due to its simplicity, requires very little maintenance and is light. The semi low-loader is perfectly aligned at any ride height, which contributes to a long life for the tyres. Combined with the high residual value of Nooteboom trailers this keeps the running cost per kilometre extremely low. The important advantages offered by the MANOOVR induced various customers to purchase the new Nooteboom semi low-loader while it was still on the drawing-board. This is the power of Nooteboom: well thought-out, robust, innovative and, above all, developed to exactly meet the require- ments of the many loyal Nooteboom customers. The MANOOVR: a world first at the BedrijfsautoRAI that will add a new dimension to special transport.
