Bellemare moves a Schmidt

Heavy and oversize specialists Transport Bellemare had an interesting load out of Halifax today - a Schmidt TJS-C630 airport jet sweeper. 

Bellemare used a Western Star with a tag axle to pull a tri-axle Manac goose neck trailer rated at 40 tonnes.

AEBI Schmidt of Burgdorf, Switzerland builds a range of snow clearing vehicles. This one is an articulated rig with a 6.3 meter wide broom. The powered cab unit pulls the unpowered trailer. 

 

The rear mounted engine drives the rotating brush and the jet that blows clear the last of the snow.

 

Some airport will be receiving this unit just in time for the winter season.
