Goldhofer showcases innovations at bauma
Visitors were also highly impressed by the study for an electronic steering system featured on the STZ-L 4. The system guarantees the optimum steering angle in every situation, taking full account of the weight, dimensions, position and length of the load. The result is a steering performance that ensures maximum maneuverability of the low- loader. For optimum maneuvering, the system offers a choice between individual steering modes, with a radio remote available for operation from the driver?s cab.
The deck of this year?s innovation vehicle featured Goldhofer?s new hard-wearing polymer covering, which offers outstanding resistance to environmental influences such as UV light as well as cargo-related damage. With an ideal coefficient of friction for load securing that is better than rubber matting, the new covering is much thinner and lighter, thus reducing deadweight by up to 500 kg per vehicle.
A further feature included the ?CARGO PLUS? low-profile tyre developed especially for Goldhofer, which reduces loading height by up to 80 mm. These allow shorter vehicle solutions due to their higher permitted load capacity and thus make transporters more efficient.
There was equally keen interest in the other solutions presented at bauma such as the ?ARCUS? PK and Goldhofer?s intelligent solution for transporting wind turbine blades ?VENTUM? in combination with ?BLADEX? and the FTV 500. The PST with the ?SPEEDRIVE? freewheel function and the new ?ADDRIVE? 2.0 were also real crowd- pullers, as the many questions and animated discussions showed.
Goldhofer will be attending the next bauma in three years? time. Auerbacher said, ?As the leading trade show for the industry, bauma offers Goldhofer an ideal opportunity to meet with proven experts from the field of construction and to debate new transport solutions. The discussions held there stimulate thinking on both sides and generate interesting approaches to innovative solutions. Maybe we will be presenting the results at bauma 2022!?
