30-Second Takeaway
Faymonville has launched the Flip-Tail ramp for its MultiMAX Plus semi low-loader, delivering a dual-purpose solution that functions as both a loading ramp and an extended loading surface. Designed for the transport of lifting equipment such as aerial platforms, work platforms, and forklifts, the new system improves maneuverability, safety, and operational flexibility particularly in confined environments.
Flip-Tail Ramp Expands the MultiMAX Plus Range
Faymonville has expanded its MultiMAX Plus range with a new transport innovation: the Flip-Tail ramp.
Developed specifically for the flexible transport of lifting equipment, the new ramp works in combination with a hydraulic lifting platform that provides easy access to the neck. The platform can now also be lowered by 290 mm, accommodating higher machines and expanding application versatility.
Dual-Function Design Improves Flexibility
The Flip-Tail ramp combines compact dimensions with added loading space, making it well suited for transporting:
Mobile aerial platforms
Work platforms
Forklifts
Other lifting and access equipment
According to Rainer Noe, Product Manager at Faymonville, the innovation delivers a clear operational advantage:
“With the new Flip-Tail ramp, we enable our customers to transport lifting equipment much more efficiently and, above all, more flexibly. It is simply twice as strong: either as a ramp or as a loading surface.”
Compact When Needed, Extended When Required
The hydraulically foldable rear can be used in two configurations:
As a classic loading ramp
In a horizontal position, providing an additional 3,000 mm loading surface
When not required, the ramp can be folded up, shortening the vehicle by 2,400 mm, improving maneuverability particularly valuable in tight urban areas and factory premises.
Despite its compact design, the Flip-Tail ramp offers a load capacity of up to 10 tonnes, ensuring high stability and robustness.
Low Approach Angle and Secure Load Handling
The Flip-Tail ramp features a low approach angle of just 9°, making it ideal for machines with limited ground clearance.
Additional design features include:
Full-surface grating, reducing overall weight
Optimized surface for machines with solid rubber tyres
Multiple lashing points to ensure secure load fixation during transport
These features contribute to safer loading and unloading operations while protecting transported equipment.
Adjustable Width and Remote-Controlled Hydraulics
All hydraulic functions are controlled via remote control, improving operator convenience and safety.
The three-part hydraulic ramp slide-out is lockable in multiple configurations and can be adjusted to match the width of unloading ramps. This allows efficient loading in:
Industrial halls
Loading docks
Freight forwarder facilities
Locations without ground-level access
Enhanced Maneuverability with Active Reverse Control
The MultiMAX Plus semi low-loader equipped with the Flip-Tail ramp is also available with BPW Active Reverse Control, supporting safer and easier reversing, particularly when maneuvering in confined spaces.
Faymonville Targets Efficiency, Safety, and Flexibility
With the introduction of the Flip-Tail ramp, Faymonville reinforces its focus on efficient transport solutions, improving operational safety while offering maximum flexibility for lifting equipment logistics.
