Philippi-Hagenbuch VRT System

HiVol Lowboy Trailer and Vehicle Recovery Tool (VRT) system for transporting equipment consists of two pieces of equipment designed to work independently or together as one integrated system to haul large, heavy off-highway mining equipment.

The company says it is the only system that provides the capacity necessary to haul Ultra Class rated equipment, a standard for mining equipment such as drills, loaders and high-capacity shovels. The system offers a hauling capacity of 400 to more than 2,000 tons, and is said to eliminate the need for multiple vehicles and trailers. Acting as the intermediary between the haul vehicle and trailer, the VRT is key to allowing up to 22 percent more hauling weight than the trailer alone.
