Nine-axle extendable trailers haul up to 170,000 pounds; available for rent

The ALL Family of Companies has added two innovative heavy-haul trailers to its own trucking fleet and is making them available for rent to fulfill customers’ own heavy-hauling needs. ALL initially purchased the two Faymonville HighwayMAX trailers to carry the tracks for two newly acquired crawler cranes, the Liebherr LR 11000 and Liebherr LR 1800, but soon realized the trailers could be useful for other markets as well.

The HighwayMAX is a nine-axle extendable highway trailer with nine hydraulically steered pendle-axles and a legal payload of up to 170,000 pounds (249,000-pound technical payload). Axle spacing is adjustable by up to 22.5 feet between each three-axle group, and each axle steers independently at 60 degrees for ultimate maneuverability in tight spaces. All axles are liftable.

Brian Meek headshotFaymonville is a European company, known for blending heavy industrial manufacturing expertise with technical know-how and cutting-edge technology. Their accompanying software package allows loads and trailer configurations to be planned in advance, much the same way 3-D lift planning for cranes enables ALL to design, plot, and practice lifts in the virtual world. “We’re able to simulate the load to make sure the axles are carrying an even amount of weight,” said Brian Meek, sales representative with ALL. “Because axle spacing and load limits vary by state, the HighwayMAX provides ultimate flexibility.”

By combining technology with practical development, quality manufacturing, and innovative features, the new trailers offer great versatility, payload capacity, maneuverability, and quick mobilization.

This versatility is expected to earn it many fans. “It will be in demand for transporting large industrial equipment, as well as work at steel mills and wind farms,” said Jimmy Hill, logistics manager for ALL. “For many of our customers, they will find that anywhere they thought they needed a Goldhofer, they can use the HighwayMAX.”

One of the trailers already had its maiden voyage, transporting a 170,000-pound bolt press from Brecksville, Ohio, to Alsip, Ill. Other heavy-haul jobs have come in just through word-of-mouth. “Faymonville trailers are still fairly rare in the U.S.,” said Hill. “Once people see what they’re capable of, they’re interested in trying them out.”
