Gouweleeuw restores Allelys' transport trailer


Gouweleeuw was faced with a Goldhofer THP/ST special transport trailer owned by Allelys to bring back to good condition. First, the wheels of the


Goldhofer were disassembled and cleaned separately – the Goldhofer has eight wheels per axle, and ten axles, so this was not a small task. The Goldhofer was then cleaned


Before and after: the wheels were removed and the trailer was Speedblasted before paint


in the company’s dedicated washing area. By using the maintenance pit and the landing, thorough cleaning was possible from all angles. The parts that did not need


to be blasted were masked after cleaning and sanded manually or prepared by machine. This was followed by blasting with Speedblast; this is a very fi ne metal- free sand-blasting material. After preparation the Goldhofer


was sprayed with a primer coat, followed by a red paint coat. The wheels were re-mounted and fi nally the quality controller checked whether the result met the quality requirements. The Goldhofer now a fresh look and can perform many years of work again.
