Overview

The Nooteboom Super Wing Carrier is a specialised extendible trailer engineered for extremely long loads, particularly modern wind turbine blades that often exceed 60 meters. The trailer uses a hydraulic gooseneck with extensive height adjustment, multi-section extendible load floor, and high-performance pendle-axles to deliver maximum manoeuvrability on challenging routes.

Key Specifications & Technical Features

• Hydraulic gooseneck vertical travel: 82 cm
• Pendle-axle lines: 3 hydraulically steered pendle-axle lines with 60 cm suspension stroke
• Steering angle: up to 60° for maximum manoeuvrability on tight corners
• Extendible load floor length: approx. 18.65 m retracted, extendible to approx. 64.30 m
• Load floor height (behind gooseneck): approx. 76 cm in lowest position, up to approx. 135 cm when raised
• Transport capability: suitable for next-generation turbine blades exceeding 70 m

Applications

The Super Wing Carrier is widely used in wind energy logistics, capable of handling rotor blades from various turbine manufacturers. Its long-reach extendibility and pendle-axle geometry make it suitable for mountain routes, tight rural roads, and complex wind farm access paths.

Features That Improve Transport Efficiency

• Hydraulic gooseneck allows real-time height correction under load
• Large pendle-axle stroke improves ground clearance and uneven-terrain performance
• High steering angle enables navigation in confined areas
• Modular extendible system adapts to multiple blade lengths
• Detachable support beam for reducing overall vehicle length when needed

Summary

The Super Wing Carrier stands out as one of the most capable trailers for ultra-long rotor blade transport. With its extendible architecture, hydraulic height adjustment, advanced suspension, and high steering precision, it ensures that extreme-length cargo can be transported safely, efficiently, and with full route flexibility.
