The product type ModulMAX AP-M stands for a modular trailer that combines the supporting assist mode with the self-propelled mode and the classic trailer mode. The ModulMAX AP-M is by far the most powerful available on the market with up to 128 kN of traction force from one Powerpack Unit.

The motorized axles of the modules can be engaged and disengaged at any speed. This an important advantage because operators don’t need to stop the convoy for this maneuver. It is an absolutely useful feature in combination with the high traction force of 128 kN.

Additionally, all the motorized axles have powerful and above all homologated brakes. You can use up to 10 driven axles in the High-Torque-version, no one offers more possibilities.
The modules build up on a dual-link patented suspension system offering a better spread of the forces and bending moments. The stroke of 650 mm and 45 tons payload capacity per axle line highlight the strengths.

The ModulMAX AP-M offers seamless interoperability and can be combined with conventional 3,000 mm wide Faymonville ModulMAX modules and other brands. Users can couple it also with common equipment such as lowbeds, spacers, drawbars etc.
The Power Pack Unit used for this mechanically steered module is identical with the one used within the electronically steered vehicles.

There are three different versions depending the application fields of the operator:
Endurance – For on-road long distance heavy-duty transports where it is important to assist the tractors with a constant pulling force at high speed.
Standard – For universal heavy-duty transports and an approximate 20/80 ratio between on-road and in-site missions. This version allows a perfect combination between pulling force and working speed.
High Torque – For heavy-duty transport missions when it is necessary to get a high pulling force and an assist speed of 15km/h is sufficient.
