Digging & Rigging buys 13 Faymonville trailers

Digging & Rigging recently took delivery of 13 new axle lines of G-SL ModulMAX and

PowerMAX from Faymonville and they have managed their first moves on those trailer

successfully. ?The addition of the ModulMAX to our fleet is going to give us a huge edge

in the oversize load market?, confirmed Jim Gregory, President of Digging &

Rigging,Inc.

For one of the first jobs, the staff used a 9-axle combination with an extra low flatbed to

transport a power generator. The huge piece had a weight of 210,000lbs and dimensions

of 24 ft 1 inch length, 12 ft 3 inch width and 15 ft 8 inch height. Firstly, the transformer

was shipped from Wisconsin to Virginia by rail car.

Digging and Rigging then had to load the transformer from the rail car to the ModulMAX

with its Liebherr LTM 1250-6.1 crane and move it 1.2 miles to the substation followed by

the off-load. To pull the 9-axle ModulMAX trailer, they used their four-axle Kenworth

tractor. In total, the combination had a gross weight of 360,000 lbs and an overall length

of 115 ft.

To move a 50 ft long dryer on the Eastern shore of Maryland with a weight of 175,000 lbs

and a diameter of 12?, Digging & Rigging used 10 G-SL ModulMAX axle lines including

a PowerMAX APMC to run the combination as a self-propelled unit.

Besides the heavy-duty modular platforms, Digging & Rigging, Inc also trusts in

MegaMAX double drop trailers from Faymonville and their unique king-pin steering.

With its unmatched manoeuverability and a maximum steering angle of 42?, it allows
