Hydraulic Modular Trailers (HMTs) from HIPOTRUK offer unparalleled versatility for transporting oversized loads, accommodating various configurations tailored to specific transport requirements. Our trailers integrate seamlessly with leading brands like Goldhofer and Nicolas, providing optimal transport solutions even for complex scenarios.
Common Hydraulic Modular Trailer Combinations
Longitudinal Combinations
These combinations extend trailer length and load capacity by linking HMTs end-to-end. Secure connections are ensured through:
- Interconnecting Couplings: Mounted at both ends of each chassis section for interconnection purposes.
- Hydraulic Link-Pins: Reinforce connections for safe and stable transport.
Lateral Combinations
Lateral combinations expand trailer width for even load distribution. This configuration is achieved through:
- Side Wall Boltings: These are used for fastening units along the chassis sides.
- Central Steering Frames: Provide synchronized steering for 3-file and 4-file configurations, allowing for specific combination forms with various benefits.
Specific Combination Forms
- Two-File Configurations: Typically include a drawbar, power pack, modular unit, side steering frame, and accessories.
- Three-File Configurations: Add half-modular units with one or two central steering frames.
- Four-File Configurations: Use central steering frames combined with modular or half-modular units to increase stability and load-bearing capacity.
Gooseneck Combinations
Trailers can connect to tractor units using an STZ-V gooseneck, which improves maneuverability and weight distribution. Note that this setup is optimal in longitudinal arrangements and cannot be used in side-by-side or push-pull setups.
Power Pack Units (PPUs)
Using integrated PPUs allows for autonomous movement without a tractor. These units are equipped with hydraulic systems for steering, suspension, and height adjustments, ensuring complete mobility and adaptability on complex routes.
Key Components for Successful Trailer Combinations
- Power Pack Units (PPUs): Provide hydraulic power for steering and suspension, which is essential for smooth operation.
- Steering Frames: Coordinate steering across multiple units in combined configurations.
- Coupling Accessories: Drawbars, goosenecks, and connection pins ensure secure connections.
- Spacers and Intermediate Decks: Adapt load platforms to accommodate various cargo needs.
Benefits of HIPOTRUK Trailer Combinations
- Increased Payload Capacity: Transport heavier loads with greater ease.
- Adaptability: Configure trailers to meet diverse load dimensions, weights, and transport requirements.
- Enhanced Maneuverability: Central steering frames and modular setups improve maneuverability, especially on tight or complex routes.
- Optimized Load Distribution: Lateral combinations distribute weight more evenly, reducing strain on each axle.
Considerations for Safe and Efficient Trailer Combination Use
Proper planning, such as route surveys and load calculations, is essential for safe operations with HMT combinations. Configuring and operating combined HMTs require expert knowledge to optimize performance, considering load characteristics, route constraints, and available equipment.
Hydraulic Modular Trailer combinations provide unmatched flexibility and strength, allowing operators to adjust configurations to meet each transport task’s unique needs. When purchasing from HIPOTRUK, you can access reliable combination accessories and expert engineering to optimize performance for heavy-duty transportation challenges.
