3+5 axle dolly low loader combination for AKM
For demanding heavy transport operations, flexibility and ease of operation are essential. That is why Munich-based AKM Autokranvermietung has invested in a new Broshuis 3+5 axle pendle axle dolly low loader combination. With this addition, the company has expanded its fleet with a versatile transport solution.
AKM was looking for a solution that would allow it to transport its own cranes, ballast and large construction machinery efficiently. Thanks to the deep loading deck, tall loads such as various Liebherr cranes can be transported within permissible transport heights, while the different configuration options ensure maximum versatility across a wide range of heavy transport projects.
Versatility as the deciding factor
Versatility and ease of operation were key requirements when selecting the new combination. What makes this Broshuis trailer unique is its ability to operate in four different configurations: as a 5-axle semi low loader, a 3+5 axle semi low loader, a 5-axle low loader and a 3+5 axle dolly low loader. In practice, this gives AKM multiple transport solutions in a single vehicle.
Thanks to the spacer, the combination can easily be converted into a semi low loader. The spacer can be positioned both between the dolly and the axle bogie and between the gooseneck and the axle bogie.
"It was important for us to have a vehicle that could be used as flexibly as possible. The ability to use the low loader as a semi low loader gives us much greater flexibility in our transport operations. In addition, Broshuis took our specific vehicle length requirements into account. The additional twistlock plates and twistlocks allow us, for example, to transport a 40 ft container without the dolly," says Pauschi, driver at AKM.
Practical advantages in daily operation
In addition to its flexible deployment options, the trailer is equipped with several features that simplify day-to-day operation. These include a spacious crane arm recess for crane transport and one radio control for all hydraulic systems.
"Despite its many functions, the controls remain clear and practical. That is a major advantage, especially on a vehicle of this complexity. Our drivers quickly become familiar with the controls and can use the combination efficiently," says Sven Bauer, Managing Director of AKM.
A partnership built on trust
AKM also values its strong partnership with Broshuis. From the initial discussions through to delivery, both parties worked closely together to ensure the combination was tailored entirely to AKM's requirements. The vehicle has already proven its value in practice. "We are very satisfied with the vehicle. It does exactly what we purchased it for. During the second trip, a problem occurred due to an operating error on our side. However, this was quickly resolved over the phone. Experiences like this confirm that Broshuis is the right partner for us," says Pauschi.
Managing Director Sven Bauer is also proud of the new addition to the fleet. Fully tailored to AKM's transport activities, the combination offers extensive possibilities for future projects. "For us, this vehicle is much more than just an additional trailer. It is our new flagship. That is exactly why I am so pleased that everything turned out exactly as we had envisioned it. In the future, the combination will be used to transport large construction machinery, our own cranes including ballast, and a wide variety of structural components for AKM's demanding crane projects," says Sven.
