You know you learn something new every day. Or you do if you're Biglorryblog. For example I didn't know that the French special vehcile manufacturer NICOLAS (who Tractomas heavy haulers were recently featured on BLB) is in fact belongs to the same group of companies owned by the Heilbronn industrialist, Otto Rettenmaier that also includes KAMAG Transporttechnik in Ulm and SCHEUERLE Fahrzeugfabrik in Pfedelbach. Talk about a global force of heavy hitters. Thus the little beauty above is the latest 100-tonne payload compact low-bed low loader from Nicolas and Scheuerle complete with 65 degree wheel steering. But the question is what's pulling it and for that matter what on earth is that mystery load on the back? Any ideas?

The first looks like a MAN belonging to the Big-move group loaded with a Liehber piling rig. The seconed is a wind turbine motor and I think thats a Mercedes up front.

looks like the top of a wind turbine

fairly new at this game

top: Piling rig
bottom: wind turbine gear box

trucks: dunno still learning.

I think the first picture is one of Guttmann's 4 axle MAN tractors and the load looks very much like a piling machine

Martin Phippard

Yep, I'm with you on the first picture Alan but I am not at all sure what the load on the other trailer is. Is it the nacelle from a wind turbine?

I thought the first one looks a bit like Friderici of Switzerland.

Tim

Second picture looks like Rostock Trans with a nacelle of a windturbine on the back.

Tim

The blue truck looks like a Mercedes Actros Titan

The other is an MAN

Martin Phippard

Tim, isn't the Friderici heavy tractor a Mercedes Titan?

I'd say the grey (Friderici?) one is a TGA, not an Actros.

I agree with the others above..
The first looks like a piling rig pulled by an MAN (although it may be an OAF if they are still making heavy haulage trucks with MAN cabs)

The second is probably a TITAN and the load is a wind turbine nacelle... as seen on this page
http://www.nordex-online.com/en/products-services/wind-turbines.html It look very similar to the N80 2.5 megawatt version

the first truck is a MAN TGA 36.530 like it was configured for the BigMove group. Gutmann owns 2 of them, others like Wagner, Pallmann and Wallek as well.

this one is the Wallek truck as its the only one with a XLX cab, others have the XXL cab.

in total the BigMove group should own about 12 of these lowdeck-shot wheelbase 8x4 tractors.

MAN now offers that configuration over its normal program

the company is definately not Friderici since that swiss hauler has grey trucks, not silver

PS in the second pic hidden behind the truck is a Liebherr LTM1500 crane
