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.
New tyre technology will increase productivity and cut downtime - Mike Woof writes
Key advances in tyre technology will offer extended life for customers, as well as substantial gains in productivity and durability. Meanwhile, some major developments are also being seen in the market, with a number of smaller players now accounting for a substantial portion of sales.
Important developments for tyre users include new strategies intended to improve tyre life and cut costs for consumers. One of the majo
Equipment from the Wirtgen Group has played an important role in stabilising the area being developed for a new industrial zone in Germany.
The site of a new factory located in Backnang, including access roads and parking areas has seen the use of the Wirtgen machines to help address poor ground conditions. The contractor employed a Wirtgen WR 200i soil stabiliser, two Hamm compactors and a Streumaster SW 16 MC binding agent spreader to improve the ground properties the soil.
