New to the North American transportation sector is Faymonville’s 9-axle double-drop StreetMax, enabling users to transport high and heavy loads with an increased payload and maneuverability.

The double-drop configuration helps in states where axle load and height are strictly ruled and when the planned route is particularly winding, the company said. 

Depending on the load to be transported, StreetMax offers deck interchangeability between flat deck, perimeter deck and spine deck. With the possibility to add a 3-axle jeep dolly under the gooseneck, this front part can support at least 100,000 pounds (45 metric tonnes).

At the rear, a 3-axle bogie can be coupled with a 3-axle booster so that the payload and the maneuverability increase due to those extra turning points.

If additional payload capacities are needed, the StreetMax principle allows to add a steerable 1-axle between the low bed and the rear bogie.
