Volvo FH16-750 - Rontransmar

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 :)
