container transport
The Euro 6 CF is an excellent choice for container work. Certainly when powered by the 10.8 liter 6-inline its offering a substantial higher payload then most of its competitors. DAF created a frugal and powerful alternative for the MX13 powered XF.
The 25,25 meter long ECO combo is quite popular for container transport in Holland. This combo is used for transport from and to an inland terminal. One combo capable of three TEU is far more economical than a tradtional combo.
An Iveco Stralis loaded with a 40" open top Maersk container. Just as the flat rack an open topper is mainly used for oversized cargo. The same precautions are necessary to get the load save at the point of destination.
An older Mercedes Actros Mp2 owned by German operator Richter is heading south on the A16 near Dordrecht. The rig is loaded with a company owned 20" swap body tank container. The Richter company is located in Cologne.
A Scania ECO combo returned two empty flat racks to the container terminal in Hengelo. Flat racks are mainly used for oversized cargo. The mainstay is deck cargo because of this. Covering with tarps is often a necessity.
An eight axled drawbar combo hauling two 20" box containers. Despite technically very capable of transporting fully loaded 25 ton containers its limited by the 50 ton gross weight limit in Holland. Combos like this will attract police for inspections.........
