Innovation
Ever since the founding of the company in 1881, innovation has been pivotal at Nooteboom. Ground-breaking innovations ensure that Nooteboom Trailers leads the way in the market of abnormal road transport. From the first ground-breaking innovation in 1953 with the low-loader with swivel pendle axles up to the development in 2015 of the revolutionary and international award-winning MANOOVR technology, applied on a semi low-loader with an ultra-low floor height on pendle axles and with a high axle load.
The design philosophy Nooteboom has used during all those years remains the same today: their products must be simple and intuitive to operate, have to be robust and reliable and ultimately ensure the total cost of ownership is as low as possible. Innovation does not just play an important part in the product design.
Advanced software enables the company to build configurable, customer-specific 3D-models. This makes the design process much more efficient. We also frequently opt for co-development with customers, learning/ training institutes and other parties within the chain. This enables us to find specific solutions for special customer requirements. Ultimately the innovative potential and knowledge comes from the people themselves.

The 4-axle trailer is available with an extendable load floor and has two self-tracking axles.
2022 – 3 axle drawbar trailer
The 3-axle air-suspended central axle drawbar low loader, type ASDS-33-03(EB), is ideally suited for transporting small to medium-sized machines. It is characterized by an extremely strong and robust chassis combined with a very low tare weight. Thanks to its compact design and self-steering rear axle, this 3-axle drawbar trailer is highly maneuverable.
2025 – Mega Windmill Transporter MWT-XXL
The program for transporting wind turbines is being expanded with the new Mega Windmill Trailer XXL. Thanks to the trailer’s extensive adjustability, it is suitable for transporting larger tower sections than before. The third generation MWT-XXL can transport an even wider range of tower segments without needing modifications to the mounting frame.
