BOLK TRANSPORT
Quality twice
Bolk Transport from Almelo has already
been using Nooteboom trailers for
abnormal transport for decades. In the
Bolk fleet a wide variety of Nooteboom
vehicles are to be found. From simple 3-axle
semi low-loaders and Megatrailers to the
most advanced trailers of Nooteboom,
such Mega Windmill Transporters, Super
Wing Carriers, EURO-PX low-loaders
and Manoovr semi low-loaders. Bolk has
recently placed another large order with
Nooteboom, of which the first semi-trailers
are to be delivered in the summer of 2019.
The order includes various 5-axle Manoovr
semi low-loaders, 2-axle EURO-PX low-
loaders and 4-axle Multitrailers. At Bolk
Transport quality is a top priority. The
same goes for Nooteboom and the quality
of their products and service is the basis
for the long-standing excellent relationship
between Bolk and Nooteboom.  ■
LASO TRANSPORTES S.A
18th Super
Wing Carrier
“LASO Transportes S.A. from the
Portuguese Milharado is internationally
one of the largest transporters for the
wind energy market. The latest investment
concerns 6 extra Super Wing Carriers,
especially for transporting extremely long
rotor blades up to more than 70 meters.
LASO now has no less than 18 Super Wing
Carriers in its transport fleet. Paulo Franco:
“Nooteboom is the inventor of the Super
Wing Carrier which has been of great value
for us. We see that other manufacturers
try to copy the concept but we stay with
the original because the SWC as well as
the complete Nooteboom organization
have proven their worth. Together with
the expansion of our transport fleet with
6 new SWC’s, we also expanded our fleet
considerably with several extendable Mega
trailers and EURO low-loaders.”  ■
Claes-Verwimp from Lichtaart (Belgium)
has expanded their fleet with three new
Nooteboom trailers. The delivery consists in
total of a 3-axle MCO semi low-loader and two
low-loaders: a 2-axle EURO-PX and a 4-axle
EURO-PX with a 2-axle ICP Interdolly. Claes-
Verwimp has a long-standing relationship
with Nooteboom and the company has a wide
variety of Nooteboom trailers in their fleet, the
most striking being the 6-axle Manoovr with a
2-axle Multidolly. This semi-trailer is – with 100
tonnes load capacity – an ideal alternative for
the complex modular trailers. Another activity
of Claes-Verwimp is organising exemptions
and transport escorts in the Netherlands
and Belgium for other drivers and pilot car
drivers. The company has more than 25 years’
experience in escorting and the customer has
the advantage of dealing with one point of
contact for cross-border transports between the
Netherlands and Belgium. For the training of
their drivers Claes-Verwimp uses the V-TAS/
Nooteboom Academy training centre.  ■
