ALL Crane Acquires 2 Faymonville HighwayMAX Heavy-Haul Trailers
The ALL Family of Companies has added 2 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 Faymonville HighwayMAX trailers to carry the tracks for 2 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 9-axle extendable highway trailer with 9 hydraulically steered pendle-axles and a legal payload of up to 77,000 kg (112,944 kg technical payload). Axle spacing is adjustable by up to 6.85 m between each 3-axle group, and each axle steers independently at 60° for ultimate maneuverability in tight spaces. All axles are liftable. Faymonville 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 bolt press from Brecksville, Ohio, to Alsip, Illinois. Other heavy-haul jobs have come in just through word-of-mouth. “Faymonville trailers are still fairly rare in the U.S.,” said Mr. Hill. “Once people see what they’re capable of, they’re interested in trying them out.” The ALL Family of Companies is the largest privately held crane rental and sales operation in North America. Their strategically located branches have access to one of the world’s largest and most modern fleets, operating under the ALL, ALT, Central, Dawes, and Jeffers names. ALL provides rental, sales, service, and jobsite analysis, helping to ensure that customers have the right equipment for the job.
