New combination
VKing from Borsbeke, Belgium recently commissioned a completely new transport combination. A 3-axle Broshuis pendelar axle low loader was chosen behind the brand new 4-axle Volvo truck. This combination has a load capacity of 51 tonnes!
"With this addition to our fleet, we can serve our customers even better and faster" says Jo de Coninck (managing director). "In addition, we are responding to the increasing demand for larger and heavier transport solutions. With this combination, we are taking an important step towards the future".
The 3-axle low loader is equipped with Broshuis pendular axles. These pendular axles have a suspension travel of 600 mm and a steering angle of 70 degrees. This ensures that the combination can manoeuvre perfectly despite its long length. With the wireless remote control, the driver can effortlessly operate all hydraulic functions. This includes steering, suspension and disconnecting the gooseneck safely and efficiently, all without any physical effort.
The 4-axle Volvo is equipped with features developed by Alumac in Kortrijk, Belgium. Because VKing will also use the truck as a box truck and in combination with trailers, a long rear overhang was chosen. This is why the low loader has been given an extra-long gooseneck, allowing optimum use of the maximum axle bogie pressure despite the long rear overhang of the truck.
