Girder frame solutions
Girder frame trailers work by cradling a load within the frame, enabling it to be carried at the very lowest height physically possible whilst evenly distributing and spreading the weight of the load through the frame and down through the specified axle combinations in order to meet the required ground loadings.
Girder frames are very often the only practical solution available in overcoming the challenges of height restricted bridges, load-sensitive structures, tunnels and other weight sensitive surfaces when moving extremely heavy and high loads such as transformers, generators, turbines and other similarly large indivisible items upon public and private roads and within ports and power station sites.
The UKs most advanced girder frame trailers
Allelys are able to support these abnormal load transport projects by owning a fleet of the UK’s most modern and technologically advanced Goldhofer girder frame trailers. They can be configured in both high and low beam transport arrangements, each one is a different size and has a different maximum carrying capacity.
Allelys also have an extensive range of trailer beams, giving our team of in-house engineers the ability to specify the optimum sized trailer, beam length and axle combination in conjunction with Goldhofers latest trailer tracking software to perfectly match each individual load, route and scope of works.
Superior manoeuvrability with girder frames
The girder frame and bogie set up allows for superior manoeuvrability compared to the same number of axles in a simple flat top set up. With the suspension stroke in the Goldhofer modular axles and the lifting stroke of the girder frame, it is possible to “sail over” objects on the inside of corners and roundabouts.
Having the experience and innovative thinking, coupled with the most modern and extensive fleet of girder frame trailers available to the UK and European market, enables Allelys to provide our customers with the safest and most cost effective solutions available for their individual project requirements.
