advantages. Among them, an excellent starting performance which, given a high level of traction, means that transport speeds can be quickly reached. Electric motors are up to four
times more energy-efficient than diesel engines, too, and consume only a minimum of energy when idling. The ePPU therefore delivers increased efficiency as well as lower energy and maintenance costs, says Scheuerle. They also have fewer moving parts so technical malfunctions are rare while the maintenance requirements of the ePPU are extremely low, it adds. The drive energy is from a lithium-ion battery. It is also possible to quickly charge the energy storage system from a level of 20 up to 80 per cent in less than 30 minutes via a CCS power plug with up to 300 kW, or via an AC grid connection with up to 44 kW overnight or during longer downtimes. The ePPU is compatible with all
Scheuerle SPMT axle lines of the technical generation 2 to 4. Given its high power output it can operate up to 26 driven pendulum axles or up to 40 conventional axle lines.
FLEXIBLE FRIEND Also at Bauma Scheuerle showcased its EuroCompact U9 series which has been optimised for weight and length and now has a new gooseneck. The two- and three-axle semi-trailers are suitable for transporting construction machinery, steel and concrete components, or containers in the payload class up to 48 tonnes. The new gooseneck has been designed to facilitate greater adaptability via variable coupling heights and optimised turning radii. Two independently controllable gooseneck supporting cylinders are designed to make coupling and uncoupling easier, even on uneven terrain. A spring- loaded steering wedge means that permanent adjustment is no longer necessary, says Scheuerle, which saves time when changing tractors. Scheuerle has added to its established single-telescopic slab deck, which has a loading length of up to 12,610mm, with a new double-telescopic version. The new version has an overall height of only 260mm and a loading length of up to 17,000mm. An additional separation point in front of the bogie, used with an

extension beam, is designed to enable precise, load-oriented pre- tensioning for maximum stability combined with minimal height; and the deck can be extended to a total length of 30 metres. Another feature is, if required,
the excavator deck can be converted into a loading deck for agricultural vehicles – a 2-in-1 solution that Scheuerle says is unique on the market. The company has also extended the pendulum axle bogie of the EuroCompact trailer. Beside the existing wheelbase of 1,360mm, a version with 1,500mm is now also available.
GOING FOR GOLD Memmingen, Germany- headquartered specialised transport equipment manufacturer Goldhofer was also showcasing electric power at Bauma ‘25 in the form of its E-PowerPack which was powering its PST/SL-E split trailer with hydraulic widening. There were live demonstrations of the E-PowerPack and PST/SL-E split trailer every two hours. The trailer can move loads of up to 45 tonnes and its width can vary between 3,000mm to 5,100mm
