Lightweight steerable in-between solution
Our regular and loyal customer Deba-line BVBA from Kruishoutem, Belgium, recently took delivery of another new trailer. Whereas owner Dwight Debacker has previously always opted for fully hydraulically steered trailers, this time a 3-axle self-tracking steered semi low loader with ramps was detailed and delivered.
"The ever-increasing weight of the machines to be transported means I have to bring down the combination's tare weight. A fully steered trailer is heavy and a self-tracking trailer limits us at some loading and unloading addresses. So I have now opted for an in-between solution!" says Dwight Debacker.
To save weight but still get to hard-to-reach locations, the new 3-axle self-tracking trailer is equipped with hydraulic auxiliary steering. With this auxiliary steering, the self-tracking axle is equipped with a hydraulic steering cylinder. Hence, this axle can be manually adjusted with the supplied wireless remote control and as a result this trailer is still particularly manoeuvrable.
The weight reduction compared to a fully steered semi low loader is 3,000 kg which entirely benefits load capacity. In combination with the right tractor unit, this trailer, due to its dimensions and the correct axle distances, can also be included in the 48/50-tonne regulation effective in Belgium since 2021.
Besides the hydraulic auxiliary steering, the trailer is also equipped with 5-metre hydraulic ramps. These ramps are width-adjustable, making it easy to load both narrow and wide machines. The length of the ramps allows machines with little ground clearance to be loaded safely and with ease.
Of course, all these hydraulic and electrical functions of the trailer are connected to the wireless remote control. The control of the axle, hydraulic ramps, electric winch and of the hydraulic drop supports can all be operated by a simple push of a button... Safe, quick and without physical effort!
