SPECIALISED TRANSPORT Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
And German transport specialist Hackl Spezial-Transporte has been using the FT Series in a crawler deck combination since mid-2023. The ten-axle combination can be adapted as required for the load, with the single-axle chassis providing additional flexibility for optimising the centre of gravity. “What we particularly like is
that we can always assemble the exact combination required for the payload, just like with a Lego construction kit,” says Florian Hackl, managing director of Hackl Spezial-Transporte.

The original order was configured for a transport weight of approx. 90 tonnes. Due to the adaptablity of the modules, this has subsequently been increased to a maximum payload of 110 tonnes. In November 2023 Hackl
Zwatra’s Goldhofer FT Series with 285 tyres
used its FT Series to transport a Sennebogen 870e Hybrid material handler from Straubing in Bavaria to Bremerhaven via public roads. With a total weight of more than 100 t, a length of almost 16 m, a width of 3.8 m and a height of 4 m, Hackl used a ten-axle combination (4+6) with a five-axle excavator boom recess module at the rear.
A video explaining why Hackl bought the FT Series and of it transporting the Sennebogen material handler can be seen here:

and orders to fill them, special transport equipment manufacturers are on a good course as the sector experiences robust growth fuelled by a range of factors including significant infrastructure investments, military spend, increased demand, and continued innovation within the industry.
