The new lowbeds will allow SAE to transport heavy tower sections of wind turbines in a height-optimised way, the company said.

These trailers with their telescopic and hydraulically widening beams are specifically designed for wind turbine transport work.

The basic length lower deck is 8,950 mm with an additional extension of 5,500 mm. Thanks to the use of cranked axles, a minimum loading height of only 765 mm on top of the bogie can be achieved in driving position.

This allows to load towers over the full trailer length, usually with their bigger diameter in the lower part.

The company has worked with Faymonville for several years and its fleet includes quadruple extendable WingMax trailers, which are used to transport XXL rotor blades.

The lower deck can be extended by 5.5 metres. (Photo: Faymonville)
