trailer world Issue One 2014

    Ausgabe Eins 2014  13 Titel RCS, Eberhard is currently working in Istanbul, Italy and in the So- chi leisure park, as mentioned. He has built special transport boxes for his six special semitrail- ers in order to transport the steel parts of the rollercoaster. “Our semitrailers are designed so that they can also be used in the steel construction. They are all equipped with container locks,” explains the expert. “This means I can transport the XXL Mouse in the load- ing box on the semitrailer, and then if I want to use the semitrailer for something else I unload the box and that leaves me with just the semitrailer.” Shown to be effective Max Eberhard can look back on more than 20 years of experience in transporting fairground attractions. The “good events” that he selects to take part in include the fair at the Hamburg Dom which is held three times a year: as spring, summer and winter fairs. Normally, the team needs four to five days for setting up the Wild Mouse XXL. The TÜV organisation inspects the installation every time it is set up. Max Eberhard points out that he has a young fleet – and he does not just mean the trailers. The fleet will be reinforced by a new 60-tonne Liebherr crane for the set-up work at the spring fair in Hamburg. “It’s a four-axle mobile crane,” smiles the expert who pays very careful attention to his fleet in order to avoid breakdowns. The timetable has got to be right, accurate timing is all-important. “As we don’t operate 20-year old trucks, breakdowns are a rarity,” he says with conviction. The record of the recent past proves him right: “The last break- down we had on a classic transport job from A to B was two years ago.” Max Eberhard invests a lot of money in maintenance – he is only left in the lurch if the drivers end up with a nail in their tyres on some fairground. “That’s always a possibility,” observes the busi- nessman, knowingly.

The owner, Max Eberhard, uses his own equipment for this. Photos:StefanBungert,Tim-OliverFrische,MaxEberhard&SohnGmbH     Issue One 2014  13
