Widening Trailer from Scheuerle proves itself in the toughest of conditions for Doolan’s Heavy Haulage operations in Australia

TheTIIGroup, which also includes Scheuerle,offersa very wide range ofreliable and well engineered  width-extendable vehicles. Importantly, these transportersguarantee operatorscost-effective operations: then, statutory provisions regarding load distribution on roads and bridges vary considerablydepending on country or state-specificlegislation.For example, inAustralia orNorth America,it is not unusual thata transport has to cross severalstate lines and it is possible that theaxle spacingsorvehicle widthmustbe changed immediatelyon crossing theborder.Doolan'sHeavy Haulage is therefore relying very successfully ontheWideningTrailer from SCHEUERLE, which also stands out through an extremely highbending moment even when fully extended.

TheWideningTrailertransport system from SCHEUERLEwas developedspecifically to meet the requirementsof the Australianand Americanmarkets, with theimpressivenew "HighwayGiant- DualLaneTrailer" being recently added to the product range. Due to the variablewidth of the vehicle, the loading areacan be adjustedtothe suit the size ofthe cargo.Furthermore,the distributionof the total weightcan be influenced during a transportation assignmentso that differentregulationscan be compliedwith using just one vehicle.In order to achievean optimal payload/tare weight ratio, thebogies aremanufactured using a solidlightweight construction.Connecting to thetractor is carried out by means of agooseneckordrawbar. The WideningTrailerrelies on theprovenpendulum axle technology from SCHEUERLE. Thetwin-tyreaxles arependulum-mounted on hydraulically lifted rocker arms.The hydraulic cylinders in the pendulum axles guarantee, on the one hand, larger axle compensation and, on the other, a large displacement volume in order to also be able to drive under and pick up supported loads when in the normal drive position.The SCHEUERLE pendulum axle mounting, in connection with the precise and smoothly-operating steering systemwith a steering angle of up to +/- 60°,easy manoeuvring even when negotiating tight bends.
