01 czerwca 2023

On May 28, the High Volume Combination: Duo Trailer, manufactured by Spanish company Guillén, part of the Wielton Group, took part in an attempt to set the Guinness World Record for pulling the longest European truck during a bodybuilding competition in Torrevieja - Alicante.

During the AMIX Cup bodybuilding championship in the city of Torrevieja located in the Spanish province of Alicante, Juan Ferrer set a new Guinness Record for pulling the longest vehicle in Europe. The distance the vehicle had to be dragged was 20 meters. After completing the challenge, Juan Ferrer is waiting for an official decision and confirmation of his entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. The high volume combination that took part in the record-breaking was the Duo Trailer by Guillén. It is a set consisting of a sliding curtain-sided trailer equipped with a folding bumper and a heavy-duty hitch, and a standard curtain-sided trailer. For better stability and safety on the road, a 2-axle Dolly Pro dolly with a swivel ring is attached to the first trailer, on which the rear fifth wheel of the standard trailer is mounted. The whole high volume combination has a length of 31.75 meters, a permissible payload of up to 72 tons and a weight of about 16 tons. The combined weight of the Duo Trailer and head truck is 23.7 tons.

"We are proud that as a Guillén company we were able to be part of setting a new Guinness World Record. It's amazing how people overcome their weaknesses by spending hours in training so they can push the limits of their endurance. Just as in sports, the strength of the Wielton Group is the continuous development and setting of more ambitious goals, as well as the cooperation and mutual support of the companies in overcoming daily challenges while creating modern transportation solutions. Thank you for all the excitement and sincere congratulations to the new record holder who took up the challenge and participated in pulling the Guillén Duo Trailer. We all watched with bated breath as Juan Ferrer set a new record, and we hope that more than once we will have the opportunity to observe the struggles of strongmen with our various products".

- said Jose Luis Guillén, Managing Director of Guillén Desarrollos Industriales S.L.

The use of Europe's longest high volume combination: Duo Trailer in transportation has many benefits. It translates into a 25-30% reduction in CO2 emissions, a reduction in freight costs, and traffic relief by reducing the number of trips and trucks on the routes. One of the main goals of the Wielton Group, of which Guillén is a member, is to offer customers quality products, maintaining a high balance between durability and weight. The Group focuses primarily on producing vehicles and solutions that generate fuel savings and reduce carbon footprints.

Juan Ferrer is the strongest man in Spain and the 2022 National Strength League champion. In addition to breaking a new Guinness World Record, the AMIX Cup 2023 Competition, held on May 28, was a unique opportunity for sports, fitness and bodybuilding enthusiasts to participate in a world-class bodybuilding competition with some of the best athletes competing in various categories. It was also a great chance for automotive fans and representatives of transportation companies to get acquainted with Guillén products. The event was organized by Pablo Martinez, IFBB Professional league Valencia and AMIX Nutrition.
