Faymonville FLOATMAX European - wide the Nr. 1 Glass production has a long tradition in Belgium. Obviously, Faymonville was suited as a trailer constructor to engage itself here. As a result of courage, innovation, and a good relationship with the glass producers, Faymonville became a well known specialist for safe glass transportation. Today, our clients profit from our years of experience and of our trailer s high quality. In Europe and beyond. Our sales network
History FLOATMAX A rapid success story Faymonville evolved from a local forge to a vehicle constructor. This happened in a fairly short time. In 1960, Berthold Faymonville accepted the challenge. Two years later, he built a production site for trailers and semitrailers. No easy task in a market dominated by the established companys and during an era of economic stagnation. Creativity and determination were the keys of selling our products all over Europe. Quality and reliabilty are since ever well known as our main strengths. Our numerous clients always appreciated these virtues. In 1977, our first inloader for the transport of glass was lighter and cheaper than its rival product. Since then, the Floatmax is one of our most important products. Recently, an all new and ultra-modern production line was put into operation. Highly skilled staff and the technical know-how guarantee the client an optimal inloader for transport of glass.
FLOATMAX Safer and more flexible High Payload The use of high quality steel made it possible for us to reduce the tare weight and to increase considerably the payload.
Advanced load fixing Our clients may choose the Meca Push system (patent by Faymonville) or the traditional hydraulic load-fixing system. The difference: Additionally to the hydraulic load-fixing system, Meca Push provides a mechanical fixing of the load. This frees the load fixing system from the oil pressure and ensures minimal movement of the glass. This system proved to be a valuable advantage in ferry-rail specification, because now the glass-inloader can be loaded without the tractor unit. Meca Push is also very well suited for short glass (4,05 m). Additional safety and flexibility is also guaranteed by the electronic level regulation system (ECAS). ECAS always keeps the vehicle s level at its position while moving on uneveness. The stability on curved roads remains even with a shifted centre of gravity. Meca Push INNOVATION The maximum choice of loading possibilities is another main advantage of the Meca Push s horizontal claws. Their great adaptability guarantee a safe fixing, without additional system changements, for every possible load height on A-or L-frames.
Reliable and time-saving The Floatmax has a lot of technical advantages to offer. Quick and safe loading as well as great comfort are part Faymonville s main standards. Remote control Visual control Central greasing Bekamax Standard only at Faymonville NEW Roll stability support (RSS) for a better stability (Standard at Faymonville)
Stabilizing rear beam Pneumatical operation (option) of the security against uncontrolled lowering of the suspension Independent heating system (option): 2 heaters (5kw) with batteries, fuel tank and ventilation pipe
Improved resistance Faymonville master the most advanced techniques to protect the bodywork against corrosion and other harmful environmental influences. Shot blasting Sealing Finishing Surface treatment The processes of 6K: Shot blasting: cleaning and refining of the material surface with metal particles Partial metallization (standard only at Faymonville): coat of zinc and aluminium for corrosion protection on surfaces that get a lot of wear and tear. Option: Full metallization Priming: TWO layers of EPOXY-primer based on chromate zinc Painting: TWO layers of acryl colours Sealing of cavities: a wax layer is applied in the cavities with high pressure Avoids corrosion in corners and cavities Option: 8K (before painting) Shotblasting by hand: manual cleaning and refining of the material surface with mineral particles Metallization: Application of a zinc/aluminium layer as corrosion protection. Sealing: of the pores before painting Is carried out in our factory Avoids the rust diffusion beneath the finishing Avoids the flaking of the finishing
Optimized damp protection Faymonville does not leave anyhing to chance. Several approved systems are simultaneously used as a effective form of damp protection. Forced ventilation 4 ventilations in all, 2 on the front and 2 on the rear Cotton tarpaulin To protect the glass against condensation beneath the roof Sealing tarpaulin
Different versions Meeting your requirements Standard Version The proven Floatmax is available as this standard version and as a very long version. Fifth wheel height: Loading length: UK Version In order to meet our Bitish clients requirements, we adapted the Floatmax to match the British standard. This version is longer and built for a gross weight of 44 to with 6 x 2 tractor units. Fifth wheel height: Loading length:
With curtainsider The standard version and the UK version are also available with a curtainsider on the gooseneck. The advantage: There is a rostrum on the gooseneck on which additional cargo can be transported.
Reduced use of fuel In 2003, our engineers created together with the Technical College of Aix-la-Chapelle an aerodynamic bulkhead for the Floatmax. The advantage: Over 100 km, three litres less consumption at 80 km/h. The traditional bulkhead creates an eddy which has a braking effect. However, the aerodynamic Bulkhead is no obstacle for the air flowing smoothly over the vehicle.
Floatmax Intermodal: loadable on wagons The Floatmax shows his great flexibility in the combined road & rail traffic too: Fast loading and offloading with portal crane / reachstacker Chargeable on the most modern pocket wagons (T5, T3000 & Twin) Useable on the most critical railway lines profile (P341) A number of advantages allows a higher payload: Optimized vehicle weight Improved weight distribution thanks to optimized stillage EBS-E2 Autonomous glass fixation
