Nippon Express Transporting Blades Over Long Distances with WingMAX Telescopic Flatbed Trailers

As a leading company in the transport sector, our customer Nippon Express has also adapted its fleet to this burgeoning field of activity.

While their  are used to transport the rotor blades on “the last mile”, new WingMAX telescopic flatbed trailers are used to transport the XXL elements over long distances.

Their newly achieved duo of 3-axle vehicles has an impressive loading platform length of around 70m.

Toshiyuki Nanma, the person responsible at Nippon Express, explains their first area of application, “The planning project is the Abukuma Wind Power Plant in Fukushima Prefecture.”

The pendle-axle technology makes the trailers manoeuvrable thanks to a 600mm stroke and a 60° steering angle.

Additionally, the hydraulic gooseneck can be raised by 1,700 mm to overcome all kind of obstacles during the transport without any stress.

“The WingMAX flatbeds fulfil all conditions for the time-efficient and cost-effective transport of XXL rotor blades”, Toshiyuki Nanma summarises the conclusion of this new acquisition.

A detailed instruction lesson given by our experts makes the Nippon team ready to fulfil their upcoming jobs successfully.
