Pushing boundaries with Fliegl’s Thermo push-off trailer

In contrast to conventional tipper vehicles, the Thermo push-off trailer enables controlled and even material discharge

 

The biggest challenge in large-scale asphalting projects is maintaining a constant temperature of the mix. This is exactly where Fliegl’s ASW Thermo push-off trailer can help.

In contrast to conventional tipper vehicles, the Thermo push-off trailer enables controlled and even material discharge. This reduces material losses, prevents compaction problems and ensures precise dosing of the asphalt. In addition, the push-off trailer can be unloaded in low halls or under bridges - a clear advantage over tippers.

The focus is not only on efficiency, but also on safety. As the Fliegl ASW Thermo does not tip over, there is no risk of tipping. At the same time, reduced maintenance requirements contribute to a high level of cost-effectiveness. In addition, the reduced CO₂ emissions due to less loss of mix and optimised transport enable a more sustainable construction method.

Its special thermal insulation ensures that the asphalt remains at the optimum processing temperature throughout the entire transport and paving process. Temperature fluctuations, which can lead to reduced adhesion and cracking, are minimised. As a result, the paving quality is significantly improved and the asphalt pavement lasts longer.

    Beijing ranks amongst the five busiest airports across the globe and its runway surfaces face tough stresses as a result. Over 94 million passengers flew through Beijing Capital Airport (BCA) in 2016 and as many as 70 flights/hour can take off and land during peak times. The 60m-wide middle runway of Beijing Capital International Airport is the busiest of the three runways, with a landing and take-off flight ratio of up to 40%. This runway was first rehabilitated in 1996 and then repaired in 2013 and 2015
