Transport CH - 2013 - 3
The MAN stand had this TGS 40.480 10x6H*6 on display, a 10x4 with a HydroDrive axle. The truck is equiped with a Palfinger PK78002SH crane that is lifting another MAN TGS here. The crane is the E-version that extends 6x hydraulically to 15,8 meters where it can lift 3,95 tonnes. Furtermore it can be equiped with a PJ170E jib that gives a total outreach of 28,4 meters.
Beside it stood this MAN TGS 6x2 of Hubag. It is equiped with a Palfinger PK27002-SH F. Interesting detail is that the crane with subframe and fifth wheel can be taken off.
The indoor Walser stand showed this Volvo FM500 8x4 of Toggenburger. It is equiped with a Palfinger Pk65002-SH E crane, it reaches up to 15,7 meter with 3,1 tonnes capacity. It is equiped with a PJ125E jib here, that gives it a total outreach of 28,4 meters. The loading box can be extende to the rear.
A nice sight for Scania lovers at the Calag / Langenthal AG stand. This Scania R480 of Rüegsegger has gotten a Palfinger Epsilon M120Z crane. The crane is demountable.
At the outdoor area stood this Scanai R480 Streamline in 10x4*6 layout of Schneider. The Notter company installed a Hiab hooklift on it.
The Scania stand had this R480 10x4 on display. I only could make this picture, the front side was to crowded with people.
Volvo offcourse showed their new FH models. I found this to be the most interesting unit, a FH460 with low cab and a hydraulically driven front axle. Volvo calls it X-Track, it is delivered by Terberg Techniek. The pump for this drive is driven by the engine and is mounted in the chassis, just before the rear axle. A shaft runs from the engine to the pump.

Renault recently renewed the complete truckprogram. The most interesting unit at the stand was this Kerax predecessor, the C-series. This model is called C520 (because it has 520 Hp) and was displayed in the special swiss version with 5 axles.
