🔩 Key Product Features of the VarioMAX

• Removable 1- to 4-axle pendle-bogie between the gooseneck and the main lowbed deck — allowing compact empty runs and modular axle adjustment.
• Optimised payload/dead-weight ratio through robust, well-thought-out design, delivering higher operational efficiency.
• Hydraulic suspension and pendle-axle systems as standard technologies for demanding transport loads.
• Excavator trough integrated into the bogie deck, reducing transport height and improving loading for construction machinery.

📊 Configuration Options & Application Sectors

The VarioMAX series is offered in multiple versions and payload categories, making it suitable for:

• Heavy construction machines — excavators, planers, and crushers.
• Wind-power components — tower sections, generators, rotor blades, and hybrid tower modules.
• Steel and concrete elements, transformers, crane components, and press machines.
• Rail and marine cargo — trams, locomotives, boats, and yachts.

🔍 Engineering Benefits & Operational Advantages

By using a removable bogie design, the VarioMAX enables operators to reduce tare weight when running empty and to adapt axle count per load profile. This flexibility brings:

• Lower fuel consumption and cost per transported ton.
• Improved manoeuvrability in confined areas due to modular axle steering.
• Compliance with road axle-load regulations by optimising axle spacing and count.

🏁 Final Thoughts

For heavy and special transport applications, the Faymonville VarioMAX series represents a proven engineering concept — offering configurability, efficiency and durability. When choosing a lowbed trailer for oversized or high-payload operations, modular designs such as the VarioMAX deliver long-term performance and operational safety.
