When moving different kind of excavators or demolition machines, the boom is integrated in the trough of the VarioMAX. A useful technology to reduce the total transport height considerably. This allows to master height restrictions when bridges or power lines need to be passed. ## Gallery Filter by area of activity Show all  - Construction - Heavy & industrial transport - Cranes & equipment - Lifting equipment - Wind & energy - Finished parts - Agriculture - Forestry & wood - Glass - Boats, yachts & ships - Military - Railway vehicles [!\[\](/modules/6433/images/23360_thumb.jpg)](/modules/6433/images/23360_med.jpg "Loads of up to 64 tonnes are transported with this VarioMAX low-loader in 2,750 mm basic width.")
