used equipment for sale, so
demand is met for all of our
customers,” said Michael
Liptak, All president. “In our
49 years of business, we’ve seen
a trend toward manufacturing
ever-larger RTs. Lift engineers
are designing heavier lifts,
and manufacturers have been
making the larger RTs more
mobile. That slowed demand
for 30- to 50-ton RTs for a
while. But now we’re seeing
a renewed interest in these

order with Manitowoc Cranes.
Faymonville debuts Telemax
Faymonville has launched
a new Telemax trailer with
four extensions capable of
transporting loads of up to
262-feet-long.
Designed for the
transportation of wind turbine
rotor blades, the Telemax
trailer has needed to grow in
length to keep up with the
increased length of the rotors,
the company said.
However, with wind farms
often located on hard to reach
areas of high ground, the
challenge has also been to
provide a long vehicle that can
traverse difficult access roads.
For Faymonville, the solution
has been to introduce pendel-
axels, offering more stroke and
a greater steering angle of up
to 60 degrees. These changes
have increased the rear ground
clearance of the vehicle and
made it easier to steer.
The new Telemax is offered
with either a rigid or a
hydraulically controlled front
section.
The quadruple extending
bed trailer takes the transport
length up to 213 feet, while
retracted the trailer lies at 72
feet.
“With the slide-out rear
extension, we create on the
last extendable part of the
Telemax a significantly greater
flexibility for the placement
of the rotor blade and
counter technical traffic and
geographic constraints,” said
Arnold Luxen, sales director,
Faymonville.
