In 2017 this Volvo FH16-750 of Rontransmar from Uriu (RO) stood somewhere along the german highway. |
|
It's a nice metallic red Volvo tractor from the current series, Rontransmar owns several of them. |
|
The tractor has got 8x4 drive and the 750 hp strong 16 liter 6-cylinder engine with 3550 Nm torque. |
|
The tractor is built for standard work, as it doesn't have any drawbar couplings or space for a ballast box. This side holds the large Ad-Blue tank and the mufler. |
|
The conversion from 6x4 to 8x4 is done by Popp. They also install all the components into the tower behind the cab, like the diesel- and hydraulics tank, the air barrels and a couple of storage boxes. |
|
The Volvo is towing this Faymonville 4-axled lowloader. |
|
On that stands a Volvo wheelloader as a load, I'm guessing it is a 45 ton machine. |
|
The dieseltank has got filler pipe's on both sides. The tower is covered on both sides by some nice flaps that match the streamline of the FH series perfectly. |
|
On the roof they installed a couple of extra lights and some air horns to complete the look of this truck. On top of the roof is a very thin bar that holds the flash lights for oversize haulage. |
|
A nice combination on the european streets. |

Update - 16.11.19 |
|
In the same week that I spotted the FH16 of Cyganex, I also came across this tractor unit again.
|
|
This time it was coupled to a 3-axled Faymonville lowloader.
|
|
On top of that stood a large Massey Ferguson 8T DEAL combine.
|
|
It fits perfectly on the bed of this lowloader. |
|
This off course is not the heaviest job for this Volvo with it's 750 hp.
|
|
The IDEAL series is mainly sold on tracks, which gives it a impressive appearance. This series is not sold in the typical Massey red, but in graphite grey.
|
|
Nice to see the same truck again on a whole different location :)
