Wielton Group's new company - Wielton Defence will present its solutions for the first time at the 32-nd MSPO in Kielce

Wielton Defence's mission is to provide logistical and transport support to military units. In its operations, the company focuses on development and innovation to meet the rapidly changing requirements of today's transport sector, as well as the defence sector. This enables it to provide equipment that is not only robust but also ready to operate in the most difficult conditions. The establishment of Wielton Defence has allowed the Group to expand its product portfolio with a range of further specialised transport solutions in the form of, among others, low-beds, container semi-loaders, platform military semi-trailers and trailers, mobile containers or special bodies.

During September's 32-nd edition of MSPO at the Kielce Trade Fair, Wielton Defence will present the LB6 6-axle low-bed semi-trailer at stand ZB-15. The semi-trailer is dedicated to transporting vehicles, machinery and sea containers (1x20‘ or 1x30’) and can transport military vehicles, construction equipment and heavy technical structures. High manoeuvrability in transport is provided by the 4 hydraulically steering axles at the rear.  The unladen weight of the vehicle is 18,500 kg, with an administrative gross vehicle weight of 85 tonnes (the technical maximum permissible weight of the semi-trailer is 97 tonnes). The overall length of the product is 14,770 mm, of which the length of the loading platform is 11,000 mm. The durability of the vehicle is guaranteed by the construction made of high-strength steel and the anti-corrosion protection applied in the form of an additional zinc coating applied by metallization. The loading deck, which is covered with an anti-slip sheet, is equipped with 10 pairs of load securing lugs of 10,000 daN and three pairs of lugs of 16,000 daN each, as well as stoppers to regulate the positioning of the heaviest vehicles in position for optimum weight distribution on the deck, so that the semi-trailer can transport both wheeled and tracked vehicles.

The team responsible for developing Wielton Defence has many years of experience in the defence sector. Their knowledge of the industry and their expertise in this area add value to the operation of the new entity within the Wielton Group. In production, the company uses high-end components and the latest technology and adheres to the highest manufacturing standards. The certificates obtained in accordance with international military standards are a guarantee of their reliability and durability. Comprehensive after-sales support, vehicle servicing and service training programmes are provided by Aberg Service.
