Goldhofer’s latest addition to its STZ-VP family owes its name to 285mm tyres. The STZ-VP 285 is the company’s low-loader semitrailer with the highest load-carrying capacity. This STZ version, with the pendular axle technology, is available in configurations between three and 10 axles and a choice of decks - vessel bridge, crawler deck and flatbed. A technically permissible axle load of 16tonnes and a deck profile of just 200mm for the flatbed – the slimmest on the market – make this low loader unique, according to the company.
The STZ chassis features a combination of extremely wide excavator recesses and relatively short bogies. 1449 Goldhofer’s pendular axle technology provides precision-calculated geometry of the axle suspension for free oscillation of the wheelsets. The advantage is optimum distribution of the load to all the tyres and perfect levelling in uneven terrain. A steering angle of up to 65° rounds off the benefits with perfect manoeuvrability, the company said.
Axle suspension is available with tapered roller or compact bearings to meet requirements in terms of mileage and maintenance intervals. The excavator recess brings a reduction in overall load height. The use of the gooseneck with or without a front bogie and the option to combine the front bogies with the MPA-K family and the rear bogies with the THP family ensures versatility.
Doosan has launched two new generation 6 tonne compact excavators, the new DX62R-3 reduced tail swing (RTS) and DX63-3 conventional tail swing models.
Designed as replacements for the existing DX60R and DX55E machines, the new models are said to benefit from a significant improvement in hydraulic performance, through a 33% increase in maximum flow rate to 132l/min. The hydraulic system now also incorporates a load sensing system said to guarantee high hydraulic performance and smooth and efficient combined

The DA40 is the largest model in the new family of Doosan articulated dump trucks. Said to incorporate quality components from world-class suppliers such as Scania, ZF, and NAF, the DA40 has permanent six-wheel drive for equal power distribution, while the free-swinging rear tandem bogie and the special articulation system ensure leading rough and soft terrain capabilities. Powered by the six-cylinder Scania DC13 Stage IIIB compliant diesel engine with a gross power output of 368 kW (500 HP) at 2100 rpm, th
