Use the Joker!
Inspired by the proven CombiMAX technology, the VarioMAX Plus lowbed gives you the option to expand an initially chosen combination.
This is based on the proven joker-axle technology, which means that higher payload requirements can be met by intergrating single axle bogies into the configuration.
It enables a flexible adaptation of the combination to load, legal payloads and routing.
Absolutely unique
The joker axle is A STRUCTURALLY IDENTICAL 1-axle bogie that can be installed both between the gooseneck and front bogie, as well as between the low bed and rear bogie.
Crosses every bridge - today and tomorrow!
In terms of bridge maintenance, there is lack of rehabilitation in many countries and the infrastructure suffers. Stricter regulations enforced by the authorities regulate driving over bridges to protect the structures.
To put it simply, this means: reduced permissible axle loads for these road sections! A development to which the VarioMAX Plus holds the solution. Its joker axle can be integrated as required and without much effort. This reduces the axle load, which makes it easier to obtain permits.
Regardless of what the future may bring: thanks to this approach, the VarioMAX Plus lowbed trailer remains legally compliant and cost-effective on the road.

The versatile VarioMAX Plus low-bed range enables various applications:
- Excavator deck: Caterpillar track vehicles can be transported hanging by utilising an excavator deck with minimum ground clearance. Such low beds can also be telescopically extendable, which makes them versatile for many applications. The booms and timber boards can also be widened without much effort and positioned to two different loading heights.
- Outer beams: The telescopically extendable outer beams provide optimal stability for the loads and can be supplied with suspended widenings.
- Widenable outer beams: The hydraulic widening, the Hydro-Shift principle, enables this variant to be flexibly adjusted in terms of width. Full load capacity with maximum widening is therefore guaranteed. A simple extension is also possible with this low bed. It is ideal for transporting heavy, wide construction machines.
