Bolk Invests in 35 Nooteboom Pendle-X

Bolk Transport has invested this year at all less than in 35 units of Nooteboom Pendle-x to offer them solutions to the transport of loads such as components for turbines of wind, industrial materials and machinery of movement of earths. As well as miscellaneous of low bed with axles pendulares and Interdolly besides three Super Wing Loaderss to transport shovels of 70 metres and the delivery includes 2 MCO-PX modulate of low bed with Multidolly.

For his modular vehicles with capacity of load of until 120 tons, Bolk chooses the Nooteboom modulate MCO-PX low bed with Multidolly.

Joop Savenije, general director of Bolk Transport: “The reason by which opt by the Nooteboom MCO-PX modulate low bed with Multidolly is that these semi-trailers with axles pendulares is the only alternative to replace and expand our modular trailers in the segment of until 120 tn. Of load. Of course, also we have seen vehicles with dollies multi-axles and independent axles, but the use of these vehicles like modular does not work with us. In comparison with a modular or with the MCO-PX modulate remain short in key appearances. This has to mainly to his capacity of steering with a flexibility limited, insufficient route of suspension and too much little distance to the floor under the vehicle filming. And besides, these semi-trailers will achieve exemptions by 12 t. By linea of axis only in Germany. But the Nooteboom MCO-PX modulate of low bed achieves 12 t. By linea of axles to 80 km/h in the majority of the European countries.”

The modular nacelles of low bed are so easy to use like the nacelles Nooteboom standard and are more versatile that the modular trailers. The MCO-PX modular nacelles of low bed were bought with the configuration of a Multidolly with 3 lineas of axles and a rolling of 6 axles, instrumented with an extensible double bed. Remove the Multidolly is fast and easy for this modular gondola of low bed and can be used like one of 6 axles.

“The big angle of 70º of steering and the 600 mm of route of suspension in the modular gondola Nooteboom of low bed are values that are accustomed with our current modular trailers. One of the most important advantages of the Nooteboom MCO-Px is the easy to use. With our modular always have to change the bars of steering to attain a correct steering for the distinct configurations. But with the Nooteboom modulate can operate with a simple crowbar. They integrate very intelligently several sets of cylinders of steering in the system of steering. This means that the steering always is the correct, if we drive like a gondola of low bed of 9 axles or even if it is like a 3 + 6 with a length of 40 metres. This no only saves us a quantity of time, since when having the steering adapted anytime reduces considerably our desgate in the tyres. In a market where the margins of profit are considerably scarce all help to improve the profitability”, says Joop Savenije.
