The Belgian trailer manufacturer Faymonville returns to Conexpo in Las Vegas in March this year and will showcase a range of heavy-haul trailers made specifically for the North American market. Shown above, the three-axle MegaMax super low, double drop trailer is available with diverse deck types, such as a low stretch-perimeter deck or a non-stretch flat deck. It’s an ideal solution for extremely high and bulky freight like industrial parts, machinery or oversize containers, the company says.
Another view of the MegaMax.The MegaMax also features king-pin steering, which the company says is unique to North America. The king-pin steering allows greater maneuverability and access into extremely tight areas. The MegaMax is available with three axles on air suspension (total stroke of 9.4 inches). With a compressed length of 53 feet and a width of 100” without outriggers, it can be run empty without escorts or permits.
Electric and pneumatic components are DOT approved, following US standards, Faymoville says.

- Hydraulic self-lifting detachable gooseneck for continuous height adjustment and easy access with machines
- 108-inch gooseneck rear swing clearance
- Super-low perimeter stretch deck – 13.8-inch drive height (at 3.9-inchground clearance)
- Deck length: 25 foot closed – stretches to 42 foot, 4 inch
- Detachable rear bogie to additionally increase the length using deck inserts
- 42-degree steering angle
- PTO connection and Honda pony motor for hydraulic functions
- Around 100,000 lbs. technical capacity
The Faymonville dual-lane DualMax.The four-axle DualMax dual-lane modular trailer can be widened under load from 13 foot, 11 inches to 20 feet. Faymonville pioneered the patented “lift & shift” principle, the company says, allowing optimization of the load distribution and to adapt to different states’ regulations.
The folded frame is less than 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall, making return transports easily possible on conventional lowbed or flatbed trailers, Faymonville says.
Other trailers to be shown at Conexpo is a new four-axle G-SL modular trailer with a point above wheel arches of 110,000 lbs. The G-SL module allows 99,225 lbs. of axle load per axle line and a steering angle from -60 to 60 degrees.
