HighwayMAX trailer comes to Capital City HO

July 9, 2015

The Belgian trailer manufacturer Faymonville is taking on a new challenge in North America.

“We want to be the market leader here. The task involves bringing our concepts to this new market area. Fortunately, they are perfectly suited to the requirements of the North American transport sector,” said Paul Hönen, project leader.

Capital City HO is one of the first companies that gets recently a new HighwayMAX trailer from Faymonville. HighwayMAX is an extendable on-road heavy haul trailer with nine hydraulically steered pendular axles and a technical payload of 260,000 lbs. It is compatible with the regulations in the USA and Canada, allowing a maximum payload due to its adapted dimensions.

“With its pendular axles and torsion stiff frame, the HighwayMAX is unique in North America” Hönen said. Nine-axle heavy haul Faymonville trailers are being used from Massachusetts to Ohio to Wyoming, the company said.

“Customers appreciate the unparalleled quality of workmanship. Our products also have improved properties with regard to handling and technology,” Hönen  said of the feedback about the ‘newcomer’ from Belgium.
