Dear readers,

On behalf of Goldhofer Aktiengesellschaft, I would like to welcome you at bauma 2016 in Munich – one of the world’s largest trade fairs, which only takes place every three years. More than 500,000 visitors from over 200 countries around the world will be coming to this event.

At bauma 2016, you can gain live, fi rst-hand and per-sonal impressions of our heavy-duty vehicles, which we have developed in close collaboration with our cus-tomers to fulfi ll a broad range of tasks. And you have the opportunity to gather extensive, in-depth informa-tion about the many benefi ts that our products have to offer in terms of technology, quality and logistics.

As an experienced manufacturer of heavy-duty ve -hicles, we offer the optimal solutions for all transport tasks and have the best vehicles for all requirements in our portfolio – from trailers and module combina-tions to vehicles for special applications, such as our FTV 300 blade transport device or the »Faktor 5« high girder bridge.

Since the market launch of »Faktor 5« in 2012, we have already sold eight of these amazing transport systems to customers around the globe. One of these extremely high-performance, eye-catching bridges can be seen at bauma 2016. But you can also learn more about »Faktor 5« in this Special Edition of »MAG1705«.

Making a repeat appearance at the trade fair is our MPA axle technology. Ever since its market launch at bauma 2013, this innovative axle concept has prov-en to be particularly reliable, robust and successful. Meanwhile, already more than 50% of all Goldhofer semitrailers are equipped with MPA axles. Our cus-tomers around the world are amazed by the high maxi-mum permissible axle load, the low loading height, the extreme maneuverability and the exceptional ease of maintenance of this technology. Following the motto “cleverly combined”, the corresponding modular vehicle system MPA-K takes center stage within our

l presentation at bauma 2016. With this system from Goldhofer, goosenecks, loading decks, front bogies and rear bogies can be combined quickly and fl exibly to fulfi ll a wide range of transport tasks.

One of our latest innovations has been kept top secret up until the trade fair – but that’s just one of the many reasons why checking out our new »ADDRIVE« is highly recommended. On the double page 4/5, you can read – almost – all about this special trade fair highlight, which we are presenting here for the very fi rst time under the motto “power your fl eet”.

I’m saying “almost” because you can of course fi nd out even more about our products – also about those that are not exhibited at bauma – at our trade fair booth or from our specialists there. So just ask us. We’ll be happy to advise you and we’re looking forward to meeting you in person.

By the way, when it comes to consulting, we do not discriminate between inquiries from smaller businesses or from “global players”. It’s our philosophy to treat, for example, local contracting businesses with the same level of priority as, say, internationally active shipping companies.

But now, have fun reading this »MAG1705« Special Edition for bauma 2016 – my team and me are looking forward to welcoming you personally at our booth!

Sincerely yours,

As most people would surely agree, the term “world market leader” has the potential to make any company that advertises itself as such appear more reliable in the eyes of both regular and potential customers. But, while it may sound great at fi rst, it still begs the question: Which companies may actually and justifi ably call them-selves “world market leaders”? Because, as recently phrased in an online article of the German magazine “Wirtschaftswoche”: “After all, from their own point of view, a world-leading company for pins with red heads can of course be a world market leader – even if it’s just in that particular market niche”. Now, however, an ex-tensive study carried out by the University of St. Gallen has dealt exactly with that question: Which companies can actually be called “world market leaders” in their respective lines of business?

The study was conducted on the basis of clearly de-fi ned criteria – such as the location of the respective companies’ headquarters, their annual sales, export share etc. Its result is a corresponding “World market leaders index for Germany, Austria and Switzerland”, which differentiates between companies which are merely self-styled and those which are actual “world market leaders” with headquarters in German-speaking countries – thereby separating, so to speak, the “wheat” from the “chaff”. And it confi rms something that we actually already knew from the start, but are still happy to hear: Goldhofer – now also “offi cially” – belongs to the world market leaders in the area of mechanical and plant engineering (oversized cargo haulage vehicles).

Here’s another “offi cial fact” about Goldhofer: It’s not just our mostly longtime customers that like us and fi nd us trustworthy – our employees also seem to feel the same way: For the fourth time now and based on the most extensive query of its kind, the German magazine “Focus”, in collaboration with the market research institute Statista in Hamburg, identifi ed the “Best Employers of the Year”. This time, Goldhofer was among the companies selected and awarded as one of the best employers of 2016 within the “shipbuilding and rail vehicle, aircraft and other vehicle construction industries”.

This ranking was based on a representative employee query, which was carried out via the online career net-work XING. The assessment was supported by personal accounts that jobholders had posted on the employer assessment portal Kununu, with employees of all salary levels and age groups having the opportunity to assess their employers anonymously and without any outside interference. The focus of the query was on job satis-faction and on the willingness of employees to recom-mend their respective employer; other aspects, such as management style, salary and the public image of the employer were however also taken into account.

MORE EFFICIENCY FOR YOUR FLEETDISCOVER THE BRAND NEW »ADDRIVE«

At bauma 2016 in Munich, we present to you the brand new »ADDRIVE« – the innovation par excellence in the area of heavy-duty modules. The new »ADDRIVE« is the perfect combination of the 6th generation of towed modules and our company’s long experience and know-how in the area of self-propelled modules. »ADDRIVE« is an intelligent solution that brings together the benefi ts of a towed module with those of a self-propelled module while fulfi lling the highest demands in terms of a wide range of possible applications as well as in terms of tractive force, speed, availability and economics. The bottom line is simply more effi ciency and an optimal fl exibility for your fl eet.

The one feature of the »ADDRIVE« that probably stands out the most is its extremely high fl exibility in terms of the range of applications it can be used for, because it is always optimally applicable – both as a self-pro-pelled vehicle and as a towed module. For its users, this means a signifi cantly lower vehicle mobilization effort and therefore also a signifi cantly improved cost-effectiveness in daily use, right from the start.

This is because, with the »ADDRIVE«, transferring the cargo from a road transport vehicle to one or several self-propelled vehicles – which, depending on the re-spective road conditions, is sometimes necessary more than once with certain transport projects – is a thing of the past. Even for the fi nal positioning of the cargo, reloading is no longer necessary. And the system is

also very useful for crossing bridges, where the »ADDRIVE« can be applied as a towed module until it reaches the bridge and then as a self-propelled vehicle with active tractive force when crossing the bridge. In case of need, the total weight of the transport is thus signifi cantly reduced – and bridges with lower load parameters can be safely crossed.

The »ADDRIVE« can be completely disconnected from the hydro-mechanical drive system, which means that there is no more oil fl ow in the towed mode. This, in turn, presents a whole set of advantages, because no oil fl ow also means no resistance and no heat gene-ration within the system – and therefore no oil-related wear and a signifi cantly lower overall maintenance effort. With the »ADDRIVE«, even stopping when driving uphill – which is sometimes necessary with conven-tional transport solutions in order to cool down the system when it is overheated – is no longer required.

Moreover, when using the »ADDRIVE« as a towed module, the power pack can – if the transport task permits it – also be removed and “left at home”. This means that the deadweight of the module is signifi cantly reduced and that it can be used like a “normal” bogie (up to 80km/h) – while all of its other features are of course maintained, such as the extreme bending moment for concentrated loads or the tried-and-tested ball- bearing race ring for optimal load distribution.

In addition, further combinations are possible to im-prove the application fl exibility of the »ADDRIVE« even more: The system can be combined with the complete SL family and with most vehicles with pivot bearings.

In some cases, the powerful »ADDRIVE« can even avoid the need for an additional tractor unit – e.g. in mountainous regions with the respective uphill grades, where the system can be applied together with a con-ventional tractor unit in order to safely and effi ciently get the cargo “over the hump”. And driving is also safer in general, because the »ADDRIVE« is the world’s fi rst heavy-duty module equipped with an especially fast-responding electronic brake system (EBS). With the »ADDRIVE«, Goldhofer is therefore once again at the forefront of innovation.

– Use without powerpack unit in towed mode – Can be installed in trailer and semi-trailer combinations – Longitudinal and parallel combinations possible – Combinations with dropdecks and long-load turntable – Can be synchronized with other Goldhofer self-propelled units

– Remote control with additional connection cable

The presentation at bauma 2013 has already shown very clearly: Our multi-purpose vehicle STZ-L RM is particularly popular in the construction industry. There-fore, this semi lowloader with wheel recesses for the transportation of construction machinery is, of course, also presented at bauma 2016. Thanks to its lowered side extensions, the variable loading platform and the low, but also variable loading height, the STZ-L RM with wheel recesses is suitable as a universal transport concept for the most diverse loads – for example, for the often very large and high vehicles that are used in the construction industry. It is this wide range of

possible applications that makes the STZ-L RM so attractive for many users. Additional advantages are its high payload at low 5th wheel load and the proven and robust Goldhofer steering system, which allows for high maneuverability as well as low tire wear and therefore low maintenance costs. And that with comparatively low capital expenditure!

But that’s not all. Just like the TU 3 expert from Goldhofer (see above), the STZ-L RM is equipped with long-life and high-quality components from brand manufacturers as well as hydraulic ramp securing,

MULTI-PURPOSE VEHICLE WITH HIGH ADDED VALUESTZ-L 4 RM

MODERN CLASSICTU 3 expert

With the TU 3 expert, an absolute classic of Goldhofer is also at bauma 2016. Thanks to the consistently high quality of Goldhofer, this low-bed trailer is extremely tough: Its robust frame does not only ensure a broad application range, a high reliability and a long service life but also a high point-loading capacity thanks to close cross-member spacing.

The most striking features of the Goldhofer TU-type low-bed trailer are the drive-over raised frame sec-tion over the front bogie and the sloping frame end. The TU-type trailer has lately been modernized and now offers the following innovations: A new drawbar, safe and simple ramp operation and a modern fl atbed design with wheel cutouts are only a few areas that have been adapted. Further benefi ts are an improved COG due to an optimized loading platform length and maximum safety thanks to double-acting hydraulic cylinders with integrated load-holding valve, which saves a lot of time as there is no need to secure the ramps with belts or colts. A complete lashing system

with certifi ed lashing rings ensures an optimum, fast and permission-compliant load securing of the TU 3 expert. In addition, frequently changing load require-ments can also be met with screwable accessories for easy retrofi tting, providing you as the user with a high level of fl exibility. The length of the vehicle, of course, always stays within the specifi ed range of the legal regulations.

Moreover, a comprehensive range of standard and optional equipment (e.g. rubber matting and hydrau-lic ramp positioning) also makes the TU 3 expert extremely future-proof. Other features that contribute to the long service life and also the high resale value of the TU 3 expert are its high-quality surface with a robust fi nish for corrosion protection as well as its mature design engineering. Top components of brand manufacturers complete the overall impression of our classic and provide for long service intervals with mini-mal downtime and high spare parts availability.

COMPACT, ROBUST, YET FLEXIBLESTZ-VP/MPA 4 (1+3)

INVESTING IN THE FUTUREMPA-K 9 (3+6)

Do you want to set up or extend your fl eet as fl exibly and future-proof as possible? Do you want to ensure right from the start that it not only meets the require-ments of today but also those of tomorrow and beyond? And do you want to keep your investment and main-tenance costs as low and the assembly as quick as possible, while maintaining the highest value of your fl eet? Then the products of our vehicle family MPA-K are defi nitely of great interest to you. This is because they combine our proven MPA axle technology with a sophisticated and extremely versatile modular system that leaves no wishes unfulfi lled – in terms of variabi-lity and modularity but also regarding effi ciency and performance. All modules in this semitrailer family are complete vehicles that are ready for the road as soon as assembled.

Let’s take the MPA-K 9 (3+6) as an example. With this vehicle concept, various vehicle components from the extensive MPA-K modular system are combined intel-ligently. Without long assembly times, platform as well as drop deck combinations are possible to meet the respective transport requirements. Thanks to the low loading height, the MPA-K 9 is ideal for the transport of high loads. Its standardized rear bogie has a large inte-grated excavator recess and also offers the possibility to add a ramp, while the front bogie is designed to suit the platform and fl atbed. In addition, this system also allows the problem-free use of different goosenecks. This reduces the investment and contingency costs of components as the most cost-effi cient gooseneck can be used in any case.

Payload: 137.4t

Gross weight: 170.4t





Tires: 245/70 R17.5

With its very compact and robust design as well as its optimum load center of gravity for permission-compli-ant maximum axle and 5th wheel loads, the STZ-VP/MPA 4 offers high fl exibility for the transport of various items in the payload class range from 45t to 50t. The minimum number of components in the bogie leads to extremely low maintenance requirements and a long service life of this versatile drop deck vehicle.

The STZ-VP/MPA 4 is particularly suitable for the trans-port of high-dimensioned loads, but is also ideal for cargo with low ground clearance. Its front bogie can be lifted by up to 600mm – a function that is primarily of use during transport when having to cross, for example, a roundabout or curbstone. Moreover, the rear bogie is equipped with our MPA axle technology, which has already proven its worth many times. Among other things, it allows for a low height difference between the drop deck and the bogie, which is a great advantage especially when loads are protruding the bed.

Speaking of the rear bogie: Different wheelbases (1,360mm or 1,510mm) can be chosen to meet the permission requirements of the respective region, which makes it considerably easier to receive road permission. Our MPA axle technology, however, has to offer even more: In addition to the high maneuver ability and the high maximum axle load of 12t, its benefi ts also include a low overall ride height, a high driving stability and, last but not least, a low tire wear.

The fl atbed of the STZ-VP/MPA 4 is not only extend able, but also allows the easy drive-on of construction machin-ery with low ground clearance thanks to ramp versions with low drive-on heights. When you use the STZ-VP/MPA 4, the drive-on problems known from some conventional drop deck vehicles are therefore a thing of the past. More-over, this transport solution also avoids time-consuming problems during police inspections – because the provided simulation program easyLOAD does not only help the user to ensure correct loading, but is also a police-approved documentation tool.

Moreover, our robust MPA axle technology with an axle load of 12t and a steering angle of 60° allows for optimum maneuverability, minimum maintenance re-quirements and a long service life of your vehicles. On top of that, our certifi ed simulation program easyLOAD ensures that everything runs smoothly during loading or possible police inspections during transport. This means that you save a lot of time and money with the MPA-K 9 and that your cargo always reaches its desti-nation safely and on time.

HARD WORK MADE EASYSTZ-P 10 AA

With payloads of up to 145t, our STZ-P-type semi-trailers are ideally suited for the transport of large components, machinery or industrial plants. For con-struction site operations and long-distance haulage alike, they still remain highly maneuverable and fl exible under all driving and road conditions.

With the STZ-P 10 AA, we have integrated our com -plete know-how on pendular axle technology into our semi trailer program. Thus, extreme payloads can also be transported economically without using heavy-duty modules, avoiding costly and time-consuming assembly. The remarkably robust Goldhofer pendular axle not only stands for extremely low maintenance requirements and a very long service life. Even under the toughest conditions, it also ensures an extremely low loading height in the payload range up to 100t with its ball-bearing race ring, which is integrated into the frame. Additional benefi ts are the proven Goldhofer steering system, the possibility to lift the axles by means of double-acting cylinders, which helps to reduce fuel consumption and tire wear during empty runs, as well as simplifi ed road permission thanks to the large wheelbase (1,510mm).

Moreover, the suspension stroke of 600mm and the free oscillation of the axles ensure optimum compen-sation of uneven grounds in the most diffi cult terrains. At construction sites, in particular, this is a crucial advantage for the successful fulfi llment of your con-tracts. Thanks to its maximum frame stability and a steering angle of up to 65°, you can always move your loads very easily with the STZ-P 10 AA. Also in terms of ground clearance and load securing, the STZ-P 10 AA is our unrivaled leader. Its standard lashing system allows for fast and safe load securing in accordance with regulations.

Rely on our decades of experience and our compre-hensive technology know-how: The fair price-perfor-mance ratio will certainly make the STZ-P 10 AA one of your best investments – and will make hard work as easy as it gets.

LONG TRADITION, HIGHEST QUALITYTHE THP/SL FAMILY

Our THP/SL product family can look back on a long success story: Introduced in 1978, it has been avail-able for more than 35 years. Today, over 15,000 THP/SL axle lines are in use around the globe. And the fi rst generation of the THP/SL modules can still be com-bined with today’s modules. For us, this is another clear proof of the traditionally high quality and future-proof design of our products and shows that Goldhofer does not like to make compromises when it comes to long-term concepts, compatibility and sustainability. This was important back then and is even more impor-tant today.

It is therefore no surprise that our current vehicles of the THP/SL family refl ect our philosophy of sustain-ability. Once again, the design of the modules for a long service life – and thus the high security of invest-ment for our customers – plays a signifi cant role. Of course, technological progress did not fail to leave a mark on this product family. Over the years, all modules have been systematically advanced and con-tinuously optimized in terms of effi ciency, performance and safety. At bauma 2016, our versatile product family THP/SL therefore presents itself with a range of unbeatable advantages for the heavy haulage industry:

First of all, the extremely robust design deserves a special mention. Thanks to the high bending moment for minimum bending, the heavy-duty modules of the THP/SL family allow the transport of very high pay-loads – with individual requirements and the respective legislation taken into account. The universal usability of all components within the SL product family results in a wide variety of possible combinations of modules with different technical axle loads – with maximum availability of all standard and special components as well as the corresponding accessories. In addition, the combination with hydrostatically driven self-propelled vehicles and the »ADDRIVE« is possible at all times. Moreover, for all THP/SL modules, our high-quality pendular axles with the proven ball-bearing race ring technology provide best possible load distribution and less forces, consequently leading to minimum mainte-nance requirements.

Helping to ensure a high level of economy, our free transport and project surveys are the fi nal piece of our comprehensive, versatile service offer for the THP/SL portfolio.

»Faktor 5«, the innovative high girder bridge concept from Goldhofer, stays on the road to success and conquers the transport world. Since its fi rst public presentation on the Goldhofer premises in June 2015, we have already sold eight of these impressive con-structions to customers in various regions of the world – including North and South America, India, Thailand, Great Britain and Sweden. And we’re very sure that there will be more to come.

One of the main reasons for the success story of »Faktor 5« is its sensational payload-to-deadweight ratio: Because, in comparison to many conventional high girder bridges, our »Faktor 5« can handle a pay-load of 500t with a deadweight of only 100t. This makes it highly effi cient especially for the transport of very large and heavy cargo, such as, for example, generators and transformers for the energy industry.

But high effi ciency is of course not all that defi nes our »Faktor 5« high girder bridge. As a true Goldhofer quality product, it has a lot more to offer: Its modu-lar design, for instance, enables easy mobilization, trouble- free container shipping and fl exible expand-ability. Moreover, its suspen sion stroke of 1,800mm makes it optimally suit able for jobs where both high obstacles and low bridges must be dealt with.

STRONG PERFORMANCE AT BAUMA»FAKTOR 5« ON PST/SL 6 12x08 AND PST/SL-E 6 12x04

Depending on customer requirements, the number of powered axles on both PST modules exhibited together with the »Faktor 5« at bauma 2016 can be individually and fl exibly confi gured. This enables the best possible adjustment of the vehicles to the trac-tive force required for the planned transport projects as well as to the respective customer budget. The PST modules are also quite impressive in terms of safety, reliability and maintenance effort: Closed load-ing platforms, for instance, ensure workplace health and safety while oil fl ushing pipes on the hydrostatic drive provide better cooling performance and thus not only keep the engines from overheating but also minimize wear. Both the PST/SL and the PST/SL-E can be driven permanently under full load without running hot. And fi nally, the tried-and-tested, robust and high-performance components of the power packs also contribute signifi cantly to the vehicles’ long service life and maintenance of value.E

Type PST/SL-E – for precise maneuvering of the heaviest loadsWhile the PST/SL is equipped with mechanical steer-ing, the PST/SL-E comes with electronic multiway steering and an extreme steering angle of ± 135°. This cutting-edge technology enables a wide range of perfectly synchronized steering modes – from front and rear axle steering to carousel and counter steering to crab steering, where the PST/SL-E moves diagonally to its longitudinal axis. Even free combinations and steering synchronization of several modules as well as the steering synchronization with mechanically steered vehicles are possible with electronic multiway steering.

That way, the modules, together with their respective load, can be precisely and quickly positioned, saving time and presenting signifi cant advantages especially when loading, reloading or unloading cargo. The ex-treme maneuverability of the PST/SL-E also makes

No matter if in terms of payload, tilt stability, bending moment, steering angle, tractive force or speed – with its PST/ES-E-type self-propelled module transporters, Goldhofer achieves signifi cantly better values than other heavy-duty modules and leads the way with all key parameters.

A very good example for this is the PST/ES-E 4 285. For many heavy-duty transports – especially on and in the vicinity of construction sites – the tilt stability of the respective transport system is an essential factor. With its high tractive force of up to 165kN per power ed axle line, its high bending moment, its electronic multiway steering with a steering angle of ± 135° and especially its innovative hydraulically adjustable track width, the PST/ES-E 4 285 offers an ideal mix of performance, load-bearing capacity, fl exibility and safety on any terrain.

For the transport of wind turbine components, Goldhofer always offers the most economic vehicle confi guration, e.g. for the transport of rotor blades. If the last kilometers to the construction site cannot be driven with a semi lowloader, it’s time to use the FTV 300 blade transport device (e.g. in combination with a self-propelled vehicle from Goldhofer). With this de-vice, long rotor blades can be safely transported even on extremely demanding routes – for example when wind turbines are being built in mountainous terrain. Thanks to the FTV 300, mountain passes with tight bends and extreme uphill grades can be mastered and small roadside villages can be safely driven through.

With the FTV 300, swiveling past or driving through under obstacles (e.g. trees, houses, bridges or over-head power lines) is enabled by a steplessly adjustable hydraulic blade tilt angle of up to 60° and an unlimited blade pitch of 360° (i.e. the rotation of the blade around its longitudinal axis). This is also a win for the environ-ment, because it reduces the number of trees that have to be felled in preparation of the transport. More-over, building activities for access roads can also be minimized – which not only saves infrastructure costs, but time as well.

The FTV 300 can take up rotor blades at the hub connection. The load-bearing capacity of the system covers all standard rotor blades up to a length of 60m and a load moment of 300mt. Thanks to interchange-able rotor blade adapters, all kinds of rotor blades can be easily mounted – thus making the system especially

future-proof. In addition, ballast weights at the rear end of the vehicle enable the balancing of various blade weights and therefore ensure optimal axle load distribution at all times. The basic vehicle can also be employed to transport tower segments and nacelles. With perfect customer service, extensive know-how and professional project engineering on top, we make sure that our wind power industry customers can always and fully rely on us.

PST/ES-E 4 285





Tires: 285/70 R19.5

With a track width of 1,810mm, the PST/ES-E 4 285 has a lateral stability which is 25% higher than that of a con-ventional SPMT with a track width of 1,440mm. And with its basic width of 2,430mm, it can be transported quickly and cost-effi ciently to the site of operation. More over, the speeds of the PST/ES-E 4 285 are optimized for drives both with and without a full load. Power packs are avail-able in four different performance levels of 150, 207, 360 and 390kW, two of which already meet the emission stan-dard “Tier 4 fi nal”. And, as a result of the low initial costs for the applied standard truck tires, running costs can be reduced by up to 50% in comparison to the forklift truck tires usually applied in this vehicle segment.

In other words: PST/ES-E-type vehicles are the ideal so-lution when high application performance is needed. And with the heavy-duty module transporter PST/ES-E 4 285, Goldhofer has once again emphasized its leading role in terms of fl exibility, innovative strength, technology, quality and long-term value.

For about ten years, our customer AGTT – a specialist for heavy-duty industrial air and marine transports – has already been using Goldhofer THP/SL-type heavy-duty modules for road haulage. Now, the company is in-vesting in our innovative PST/ES-E 285 technology for in-plant transports of heavy loads.
