Nooteboom's Manoovr sets new limits in bulk semi low-loader transport

摘要

The Netherlands - 'Designed for all to drive' is the philosophy of Nooteboom BV of Wijchen, The Netherlands, and this remains the constant in the design of the latest generation of Nooteboom semi low-loader, the MANOOVR Multi-PL, launched at the commercial vehicle show held at the RAI show ground in Amsterdam last month. This philosophy, to make its special load heavy-duty semi low-loaders easy to drive, is matched with two other primary design criteria - a specification that is as favourable as possible for the whole of Europe and a kilometre cost price as low as possible - according to CEO, Marinka Nooteboom. The MANOOVR Multi-PL is the latest generation of Nooteboom semi low-loaders. It has a number of unique features, so Nooteboom claims, which include the ultra-low floor height of 780mm and at least 12 tonnes per axle line on pendle axles. This 12t per axle line rated load capacity is significantly more than semi-trailers with independent suspensions can offer (usually no more than 9t per axle), so Nooteboom claims.
