INDEPENDENT SUSPENSIONS
Up to 12 t. per
axle line
Faymonville now offers independent suspensions.
A novelty? Turning to wishbone axle links.
The range of Faymonville solutions increases once again.
After the pendelaxle we now add an independent suspension
with wishbone axle links. The advantages according to
Gilbert Brüls, Head of Development : « German legislation
allows a load of 12 tons per axle line with independent
suspensions. With fixed axle bodies, the load cannot exceed
10 tons. The turning angle is better than with traditional
systems. Finally, the height of the load platform is just
850 mm for on road travel, which is very low. »
The independent suspension has essentially been conceived
for the Multimax. G. Brüls : « The absence of an axle body
reduces the unladen weight and enables the creation of
double or triple telescopic Multimax flatbeds with a very
low loading height. What one can do with 6 axles, one
can now do with 5 axles and 12 tons per line. What's more,
the stability of a semi-trailer is much improved by the double
wishbone axle links seeing as the load surface remains parallel
to the ground whatever the height of the suspension. »
G-MODULE SL
New levels of
performance
The recent issue of Go to the Max (no. 17) presented you with a summary
of the various variations of the G-module (G-UT, G-ST, G-MT et
G-SL). Today, the G-SL offers new levels of performance. Rainer Noe,
head of our Modular Heavy Duty Systems department, reveals these
new features : « The new version of the G-SL this time offers an axle
line load of 45 tons. By way of comparison, on the ST version designed
for the European market, the maximum load is of 36 tons.
The bending moment, which determines the sturdiness of the system,
has also been increased and is now 25% greater that that of the
ST version. What's more, we have increased the permitted point
loads on the load area. In real terms, this means that the surface
capable of supporting the load is now even greater. »
The first modules go to Paris
PRODUCT TO THE MAX
Designed for markets outside Europe, the G-SL module is constantly evolving.
These developments increase its performance and thus reinforce its position on the world market.
Apart from this, this new version of the G-SL module still has
a turning angle of 60° thanks to a pivoting system - a greater angle
than that offered by the competition - and accepts all accessories,
just like the other G modules. It is available from 2 till 6 axle
line versions.
The SL version is fundamental on the international market.
It is particularly suited for difficult road conditions and falls within
a category of engines which, along with the units in the S-module
series, cover 80% of the world market. A market in which
Faymonville must therefore play an important role. The first examples
of this new variant will be on show at the Intermat trade show
in Paris which takes place from the 16th to the 21st of April 2012.
The technical solution chosen for our independent
suspension : wishbone axle links.
The G-SL module now offers
even more outstanding levels
of performance.
