Mercedes-Benz Actros 4160 - Mammoet
Mammoet from Schiedam (NL) was using this sharp Mercedes-Benz Actros 4160 for the transport of precast concrete beams for a new fly-over in Haarlem (NL). The lifting of the beams was done by Boekestijn, Mammoet and Nederhoff. Also Van der Meijden was using their Volvo FH16 660 for this project.
The truck is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 542 LA, a 15.9-liter V8 diesel engine with a power of 598 hp. Behind the front axle is the AdBlue tank installed.
Attached is a 6-axle Scheuerle platform trailer, with the front part of the beam loaded on.
The rear part of the beam is also loaded on a 6-axle Scheuerle, this time as dolly. Both modules are attached to each other with a steel cable. A power pack powers the rear module, so that the axles can be moved.
These beams are 1.9 meters wide and 45 meters long. The mass is 192 tonnes.
On this side are the muffles and a storage compartment installed behind the front axle.
Behind the cabin are the large diesel tank, a storage compartment, compressed-air tanks, the hydraulic oil tank and a large cooler installed. Four large lights taking care for proper light backwards during the night. At the rear of the chassis is a heavy Rockinger coupling attached, the truck can also be used as a ballasted truck.
A sharp combination!
