Nicolas Other models

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 732 to 20,000 kg, gross weights from 810 to 121,000 kg and widths from 1,560 to 2,750 mm; a length of 23,605 mm is additionally recorded for one version.

The span from under a tonne to 121 tonnes of gross weight reflects the two faces of the programme: light trailers on one side, heavy module combinations for transformers, boilers, wind-power and industrial plant components on the other. In this heavy-haulage segment, Nicolas sits alongside builders such as Cometto, Scheuerle and Goldhofer, which likewise build self-propelled and towed modules for abnormal loads.

On modules and low-loaders of this class, the condition of the frame, hydraulic cylinders and steering axles, the tightness of the hydraulic lines, wear on wheel hubs and brakes, and the completeness of the coupling and control links between modules all matter; on the programme's lighter trailers, the usual points such as axles, brakes and lighting apply. Parts for heavy-haul modules usually run through the manufacturer or specialist heavy-haulage service providers.
