FLOATMAX

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 profitfrom our years of experience and of our trailer‘s high quality.

In Europeand beyond.

FLOATMAXFaymonville

European - wide the Nr. 1History

A rapid success storyFaymonville 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 taskin a market dominated by the established companysand during an era of economic stagnation.

Creativity and determinationwere the keys of selling our products all over Europe.Quality and reliabiltyare since ever well known as our main strengths.

Our numerous clientsalways 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 staffand the technical know-howguarantee the clientan optimal inloader for transport of glass.

Safer and more flexibleHigh Payload

The use of high quality steelmade it possible for usto reduce the tare weightand to increase considerably the payload.

FLOATMAX

Advanced load fixing

Our clients may choosethe 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 pressureand 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 loadedwithout 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 positionwhile moving on uneveness.The stability on curved roads remainseven with a shifted centre of gravity.

The maximum choice of loading possibilitiesis another main advantage of the Meca Push’s horizontal claws. Their great adaptabilityguarantee a safe fixing, without additional system changements,for every possible load heighton A-or L-frames.

Shot blasting

Faymonville master the most advanced techniquesto protect the bodywork against corrosion and other harmful environmental influences.

The pRoceSSeS oF 6K:Surface treatment

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

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 pressureAvoids corrosion in corners and cavities

Meeting your requirements 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 gooseneckon which additional cargo can be transported.

FLOATMAX

Reduced use of fuelIn 2003, our engineers created together with the Technical College of Aix-la-Chapellean aerodynamic bulkhead for the Floatmax.

The advantage:Over 100 km, three litres less consumption at 80 km/h.

The traditional bulkhead creates an eddywhich has a braking effect.

However, the aerodynamic Bulkhead is no obstacle for the airflowing smoothly over the vehicle.

FLOATMAX

Floatmax intermodal: loadable on wagonsThe Floatmax shows his great flexibilityin 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
