MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS Memmingen, Germany- headquartered heavy-duty transport and special cargo haulage equipment manufacturer Goldhofer has been enjoying a slew of orders for one of its most recent products: the pivot-mounted FT Series of heavy-duty modules. The FT Series is a transport solution that, according to Goldhofer, unites semitrailers of the heavy payload class and heavy-duty module combinations for road transportation. It was first presented at Bauma 2022. 16 axles lines of the FT Series
have just been bought by a new customer: Netherlands based heavy-duty and special transport solutions firm Zwatra Transport. Zwatra specified the FT Series
with 285 tyres in a width of 2,750 mm for enhanced stability and safety. Other elements ordered include goosenecks and loading decks with various components
to increase Zwatra’s options for transporting a wide range of loads safely and efficiently.
Modifications can easily be made to the system at any time, Goldhofer claims, for further flexibility and it can be combined with almost all other Goldhofer modules regardless of basic width or choice of tyres. Existing trailer accessories such as load decks and goosenecks can be used with it without any issues. This order was facilitated by
Cometto says
its new Eco500 is well-suited to intralogistics applications, such as moving wind turbine components
Matrax, Goldhofer’s exclusive Dutch sales agent. Since its launch the FT Series has been used extensively across Europe by multiple companies. These include heavy-haul specialist Prangl which, in April last year, used an FT Series in a 2+4 combination with a rail vehicle deck, to move a 47 m long track geometry inspection car of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) weighing almost 50 tonnes through the centre on Linz, Austria.
MOVING TRAMS: MAMMOET PUBLIC TRANSPORT WORK IN AUSTRALIA
Mammoet Australia was commissioned by Deugro Projects, an international project and specialised freight forwarder, with the delivery and unloading of five new trams for a light rail network in Brisbane. To load and unload the 43.5m
long trams, Mammoet devised a methodology utilising in-house engineered ramps and heavy-duty winching equipment. The ramps were designed and fabricated using procured rail sections to enable the trams to be pulled onto conventional hydraulic platform trailers. Subsequently, a winch truck
carefully manoeuvred the trams onto and off the trailers using the rail ramps, ensuring a secure and precisely controlled process.
