Extendable, light and with wheel pits

By using a new concept with 4,750 mm extendable loading floor, a very low own weight of only 8,700 kg has been achieved. Thanks to the deep wheel wells, even larger wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks of up to 39 tons can be transported, where previously this was only possible with a low loader. Moreover, this OSDS-48-03V(EBW) is multifunctional, such as for transporting divisible cargo, containers and construction machinery on tracks.

The short axle distance between the first and second axles of only 2,260 mm contributes to optimal maneuverability. And because this semi low loader is produced in SMART series construction, the purchase price is up to 50% lower than a low loader, according to Nooteboom. According to Manager Marketing & Communications Johan van de Water, the OSDS-48-03V(EBW) semi low loader is "exceptionally strong and has excellent torsional rigidity. The chassis has an exceptionally durable preservation and is completely galvanized. This increases the life of the trailer and contributes to a higher residual value." 

WHEELCUILES

According to Van de Water, the asymmetrical shape of the wheel pits makes it "easier to unload, for example, wheel loaders from the wheel pits. The special gradient of only 35 degrees of the 400 mm deep wheel pit facilitates unloading from standstill. In addition, these 'easy access' wheel pits are equipped with steel transverse ribs, which provide maximum grip when driving in and out." 

The position of the wheel pits also provides optimum weight distribution between gooseneck and axle set. The dimensions of the wheel pits are suitable for all common makes and types of wheel loaders with different tire-
diameters, axle spacings and weights. The front wheel pit is created by extending the load floor. Using the optional sliding intermediate table with chamfer, the required recess can be adjusted to match the tire size and wheelbase of the wheel loader or articulated dumper being transported.

MULTIPURPOSE

Nooteboom's new semi-low loader is multifunctional. Split loads, containers and tracked construction machinery can also be easily transported. For this, the wheel wells are easily closed, creating a completely flat loading floor. Removable galvanized supports with integrated loading surface widening and hardwood floor boards are available for this purpose. Optionally, the wheel wells can also be completely filled with hardwood parts. The semi-low loader is equipped as standard with three pairs of holes for intermediate locks, so that 20, 30 and 40ft containers can also be transported.
