The dual-lane trailer has been specially developed as a flexible vehicle concept in order to fulfill the different requirements found in the North American market.

Standards of specific load support, wheelbases and the distribution of the load on roads or bridges differ between states.

The vehicle can be adapted to suit the cargo being transported and fulfill the statutory framework conditions at the place of operations.

Both the loading area and its distribution over the length of the vehicle can be adapted. In order to achieve an optimal payload: tare weight ratio, the chassis is manufactured using a stable lightweight construction.

On request, the Highway Giant is available as a PowerBooster, which was unveiled at this year's Conexpo in Las Vegas.

With this version, an additional aggregate provides extra thrust when driving and allows the use as a self-propelled vehicle without a tractor.
