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.

Roadtec’s innovative CIR Additive System can be used in the cold-in-place recycling of asphalt pavement. This is a useful technique for the repair and rehabilitation of asphalt-paved roads. The system is used to transfer, measure, and inject either emulsion or foamed asphalt to the cutter housing of the milling machine. The additive is then blended with the milled material and transferred for paving. Roadtec says that its cold-in-place recycling (CIR) equipment makes it possible to repair damage to a
The Vögele road paver SUPER 1800-2 HD has been specially developed to meet the requirements of road construction in China.
This heavy-duty machine can be used for placing cold, coarse-grained materials such as cement-treated base (CTB). The paver is designed to cope with the abrasive wear caused by these mixes, increasing its durability. Its SB300HD fixed-width screed is also designed for roadbase applications. It allows thick layers to be paved true to line and level with a maximum degree of pre-compacti
