The HIPOTRUK split N3 trailer is designed with an impressive width of 4810mm, even without assembling it into a full 3-file configuration. By allowing the option to remove half of the axles and suspensions, this trailer can reduce its weight by half, making it ideal for navigating weight-restricted routes, elevated roads, and bridges with ease.
A New Standard in Heavy Transport Solutions
The custom design of HIPOTRUK’s split hydraulic modular trailer is unlike anything seen before, even in Europe. This unique configuration was created for clients facing the specific challenges of weight-sensitive transport over bridges and elevated pathways.
So, What Inspired HIPOTRUK to Develop This Specialized Vehicle?
When our client shared the cargo details and transport route requirements, we immediately understood the challenges:
- The route involved crossing local bridges with strict weight limits on the trailer and cargo.
- The trailer’s tires needed to align precisely on bridge piers without deviation.
Initially, we suggested an adjustable-width hydraulic modular trailer. However, the client was also looking for a budget-friendly solution with flexible applications for future use. After careful discussions, we developed the split N3 trailer design:
- The central platform’s width was adjusted to align perfectly with the bridge supports, ensuring the tires on either side firmly pressed on the piers.
- To further reduce weight, our engineers created a steering system that allows the suspensions and tires on even-numbered axles to be removed when necessary.
Testing and Performance
During testing, we simulated the removal of even-numbered axles by lifting them and locking the suspension steering system.
- The video shows that, even with this configuration, the trailer’s steering and operation systems perform smoothly.
- When the central widening platform is removed, the split N3 trailer can function as a standard N3 model.
