The Nooteboom Multi-PX semi low loader has a high payload
with up to 14 tonnes per axle depending on the tyres used.
The full programme has variety in the number of axle lines
and load floors.
This model has a Tekno
Scania tractor and Nooteboom 2+6
trailer complete with saddles for carrying the Liebherr
LTM 11200-9.1 main boom.
It is in the colours of
Havator, a Finnish group founded in the 1940s.
Packaging
The model comes in a robust high quality outer shipping
carton. The model box is also high quality, with Nooteboom
branding. The model is held within black foam which
is fairly hard and is also a tight fit so care is needed
getting the model out so that vulnerable parts are not
damaged.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
model.
There is a small booklet which has interesting information
about the real trailer, and it also describes most of the
features of the model. A plastic Nooteboom certificate is
also included.
An
alternative fifth wheel which will allow the Scania to accommodate trailers with a larger king pin
is included. There are a number of small parts to
fit and some of them are very loose, so care would be
needed that they do not fall off and are lost.
Detail
The Scania is a detailed
8x4 chassis with functional steering linkage between
the axles. The tyres are different on the steering
and driven axles.
The cab looks really good The graphics are very sharp
and the colour scheme is striking.
Behind the cab the equipment
tower looks impressive, and coiled lines.
At the rear the wheel arches are plastic.
The Multi-PX has six axle lines and is heavy model.
The detailing underneath is very good with plenty of hoses
and tanks. The wheel assemblies are metal with tiny graphics
applied, and the wheels and tyres are very good.
Soft rubber hoses are provided for connection to an adjacent
component.
The top surface has an excellent finish with the
anti-slip properties reproduced, and there are
highlighted bolt positions and inlaid replica timber
pieces all producing a very realistic appearance. The edges have a reflective yellow stripe
and there tiny graphics and highlighted tie-down loops.
At the rear the beacon lights are realistic and the tiny
light holders on the number plate are an excellent small
detail.
The two line Multi-Dolly is of the same high standard.
The gooseneck is very detailed and that includes the
underside which has hoses and a detailed king pin
turntable. The control console on the side is very
finely detailed and the anti slip surface is
convincing.
Additional details include two spare wheel holders and a
plastic generator.
With the trailer and gooseneck joined up the level of
the trailer deck was good.
Two metal saddles are included which allows the boom of
the Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 mobile crane to be carried as
a load.
Features
The Scania has limited steering movement
available on the front axles. The cab tilts and it
can maintain a tilted pose.
The gooseneck has an adjustable angle with the rams
controlling it being stiff. It has support legs which
can be pinned in the up or down positions, although care
is required as the pins are tiny and can drop out if the
model is tilted.
The Multi-PX module has independent suspension
on each wheel set and there is proportional steering.
The steering range is good with the last axle fouling on
the rigid plastic mud flaps at the extreme range of
movement.
It has an extendible beam which is smooth in operation.
The Multi-Dolly also has suspension on each wheel set
and the steering is parallel with a very good range of
movement.
A variety of trailer configurations are possible either
with or without the Multi Dolly, or with the beam
extended or not. On the review model the trailer was
assembled out of the box but it also had the connecting
hoses joining the two-axle dolly glued meaning they
would have to be cut to disconnect the dolly.
The saddles can be used or left off the model in favour
of an alternative load.
Quality
This is a high quality model well presented
model. It has a high metal content with plastic used appropriately.
The paint finish is excellent, particularly on the
trailer, and the graphics are sharp.
Price
The price is reasonable.
Overall
This is a great looking model in the
colours of Havator. It is also well made and comes
in high quality packaging.
