Be it float glass, insulating glass or special formats – FloatMAX can deal with any challenge in construction site and in plant transport. The low reception surface of the vehicle makes loading and unloading easy, whereas the high payload and flexibility make it economical to use.
The well thought-out design also reliably protects the glass load from external influences.
Version overview
The FloatMAX series from Faymonville provides intelligent transport solutions for flat glass on A or L stillages. Different versions make it possible to adapt exactly to individual requirements and situations.
The FloatMAX Lightweight is designed without a suspension arm and is a real lightweight thanks to the weight-optimised design. The robust front cover made from weatherproof, fibre glass-reinforced plastic provides protection from the effects of the weather. A turning radius of 1,850 mm makes manoeuvring easier, particularly in tight spaces. Different load fixing systems provide maximum flexibility, geared to a wide range of usage requirements.
The FloatMAX Light with the suspension arm combines a light dead weight with outstanding functionality and practical details. It is available in two basic lengths: 7,500 mm and 7,700 mm. The weatherproof front cover made from fibre glass-reinforced plastic reliably protects the glass. The rear turning radius of 2,000 mm provides maximum manoeuvrability, even in tight situations. Thanks to the variable load fixing systems, the inloader is flexibly adaptable to different tasks.
The FloatMAX Light UK is specially designed for the glass transport requirements in Great Britain. With a loading channel length of 8,500 mm, it is ideal for transporting large and sensitive goods. The weatherproof, glass fibre reinforced plastic front cover, a rear turning radius of 2,000 mm and flexible load fixing systems are also characteristic of the specialist.
- FloatMAX Light with loadable platform
The FloatMAX Light with the loadable platform is the ideal solution for transports with an additional loading volume in front of the loading channel. Thanks to its robust structure, handling remains easy and convenient – even in demanding applications. The sliding side tarpaulins on the platform make access to the load easier and increase flexibility during everyday use. Because of the optimised design, the dead weight remains within the lightweight range.
The FloatMAX Economy represents ease of handling, stable design and well thought-out transport solutions. The continuous loading channel without windows in the side channel provides maximum safety and reliably protects sensitive goods. Thanks to its continuous design, the inloader is extremely low maintenance and designed for long-term use in everyday transport business – ideal for cost-conscious applications.
Load securing overview
Modern load fixing systems are an important part of the glass inloader. Not only do they guarantee maximum safety during transport, but also quick and simple handling during everyday use. The systems that are available for FloatMAX are specially designed for safely transporting A and L stillages, and provide maximum flexibility for different tasks, whereby the cargo remains optimally secured at all times.

The gooseneck
The connection between the tractor unit and the glass inloader is crucial for picking up the stillage and the sensitive glass products safely. Only if the components are exactly coordinated with each other can the glass loads be held securely and without damage – in urban traffic or on long hauls.
