Leading the market for more than 30 years

In 1985, Nooteboom became the first company to introduce a 6-axle BALLASTTRAILER to the European market. Since then, the OVB BALLASTTRAILER has evolved into a proven transport solution for carrying crane ballast and other heavy concentrated loads. Through continuous innovation and extensive practical experience, Nooteboom has become one of today’s specialists in ballast transport.

Developed for maximum stability

The central box-shaped beam made from high-quality steel provides an extremely strong and torsion-resistant chassis. As a result, the BALLASTTRAILER remains stable and reliable even under heavy loads. The chassis has been specially designed for high concentrated loads without adding unnecessary weight. This allows you to benefit from optimum payload capacity and excellent driving characteristics.

Maximum manoeuvrability on site

In ballast transport, manoeuvrability is essential. Thanks to the fully hydraulic turntable steering system with a large steering angle, you can easily manoeuvre on confined construction sites and restricted unloading locations. In addition, the simple steering technology ensures minimal tyre wear and low maintenance costs. Since 2015, the 5-, 6- and 7-axle versions have also been available with Counter Steering. In this configuration, the front axles actively steer in the opposite direction to the rear axles, resulting in an even smaller turning radius and greater driving stability, especially when reversing.

Excellent performance under all conditions

The OVB BALLASTTRAILER is supplied as standard with hydropneumatic suspension, providing maximum suspension travel and excellent stability on rough terrain. This enables the trailer to follow the crane effortlessly around construction sites with ballast and crane components, regardless of site conditions. For applications where extensive off-road operation is not required, the BALLASTTRAILER can also be equipped with air suspension.

Built for years of profitable operation

As standard, the OVB BALLASTTRAILER is equipped with TÜV-certified lashing rings, stake pockets and manual steering. Thanks to its high-quality construction, durable finish and low operating costs, you benefit from a long service life and a high residual value.
