HEAVY HAULERS IN NORTH AMERICA
go for the Faymonville HighwayMAX
J
ust a few weeks after the market
launch of the new HighwayMAX in
North America, the first conclusion is
impressive: some of the leading compa-
nies in the North American transport sector
acquired this brand-new product from the
Belgian manufacturer and it lives up to their
expectations.
Specific requirements need specific solu-
tions, which is why Faymonville proposes
a trailer that has been designed for special
commodity transport on the roads and high-
ways of North America. It complies with na-
tional regulations with regard to axle group
dimensions, thereby allowing maximum
payload. The trailer has been called High-
wayMAX and it is an extendable on-road
heavy haul trailer with nine hydraulically
steered pendular axles and a technical pay-
load of 260 000 lbs.
And the list of new customers that has or-
dered a HighwayMAX from Faymonville gets
longer and longer: Sarens, Berard Transpor-
tation HO, Global Specialized, Penney, Steve
Sharp or Capital City HO – big transport com-
panies were convinced by the quality and the
technical know-how behind this new product.
“With its pendular axles
with a stroke of 23. 6” and
a turning angle of +/-60
degrees, the HighwayMAX
is unique in North Ameri-
ca" says Paul Hönen, while
emphasising the pioneering
role of Faymonville with
this trailer. “The fully met-
alised frame ensures the
best corrosion protection
available on the market. The
extremely high demand for
this new commodity in the
USA and Canada highlights
its innovative character”.
The sophisticated technolo-
gy and user-oriented devel-
opments are the manufacturer’s trademark.
“Customers appreciate the unparalleled qual-
ity of workmanship. Our products also have
improved characteristics with regard to han-
dling and technology. The trailer can be easily
retracted to attain a truck/trailer total length
not exceeding 90’, which eliminates the need
for escorts”, which is the positive feedback
about the 'newcomer' from Belgium that Paul
Hönen receives on a daily basis.
The technical features ensure maximum
transport efficiency and contributes to trans-
port safety. All axles allow for a narrow turn-
ing radius for maximum maneuverability. The
hydraulic and mechanical 5
th
wheel load
adjustment allows for maximum operation-
al flexibility, as well as hydraulic gooseneck
compensation with the first axle group.
