Faun Low Loader Trailer Truck Aug Alborn 1965-77

The August Alborn forwarding company was a trusted name in heavy goods transport during the 1960s. Faun and Scheuerle were renowned for delivering powerful, reliable solutions, making the Faun 610/36 tractor unit and Scheuerle low-loader an essential part of the Alborn fleet. This formidable combination handled a variety of heavy hauling tasks from the family headquarters in Dortmund with impressive efficiency.

Featuring a long bonnet and robust design, the Faun 610/36 was powered by a thundering Deutz engine capable of effortlessly moving loads of up to 80 tonnes. The Scheuerle low-loader, made up of four assemblies including a draw-bar, two five-metre chassis sections, and a transport surface, supported an impressive payload of 50 tonnes. With a fully laden weight of 72 tonnes and a top speed of 62 km/h, this heavy-duty low-loader measured 18 metres long and 2.75 metres wide, requiring powerful tractor units like the Faun for safe transport of excavators, crawlers, and heavy machinery.
