Turnkey engineering solutions with Goldhofer modular system are designed specifically for the transporting special-purpose vehicles.

Modifications of modular semi-trailers from 0 + 4 and up to 3 + 5 with loading platforms of different configurations allow transporting a wide range of special-purpose vehicles, from 35 to 200 tons, including solutions for the transportation of drilling rigs and piling machines and other heavy crawler vehicles.

With a wide choice of options and additional equipment trailers can be adapted for the safe transportation of various types of oversized and heavy cargo.

Goldhofer modular systems are designed specifically for transporting extra heavy and oversized industrial loads.
Goldhofer  modular vehicles have a number of high-tech solutions featuring:

• Goldhofer heavy-duty modules are designed for efficient transportation and accurate positioning extra-heavy and oversized cargo on the mounting and construction sites.
• Mounting the load on the modules and lifting from support structures is possible without additional equipment (cranes and other lifting equipment). After transportation, cargo can be unloaded at the destination.
• The frame and loading platform of the module consist of longitudinal and cross beams and are made as a welded construction (manufactured by Goldhofer) of heavy-duty steel for optimal load sharing and safety.
• The frame is designed to stabilize the vehicle which is especially important when transporting industrial goods with a high load center.
• Moreover, enlarged wheelbase compensates lateral displacement of load center in case it is impossible to position the load accurately in the center of the vehicle.
• The axle group is developed and tested by Goldhofer. It consists of a ball bearing race ring, with a hydraulically steered swivel arm (hydraulic suspension cylinder). The design is recognized worldwide. Depending on the type and tyre type can bear an axle load from 23 to 55 t.
• Large leak proof bearing guarantees operation with extremely high loads and long use.
• Hydraulic suspension ensures even load distribution across all axles regardless the road conditions.
• Safety valves are integrated in each axle line. This ensures the functioning of the hydraulic circuit. In case one of hydraulic hoses ruptures it will prevent unexpected tilting of the loading platform.
• Depending on load and road conditions, the modules can work in configuration of 3 or 4 points of hydraulic suspension support. The lifting and lowering of the hydraulic suspension is controlled by the control panel.

Heavy duty self-propelled modules with electronic steering are used for delivery of industrial equipment in conditions of current production or confined space for maneuver. Modules provide exceptionally precise control, ultra-accurate maneuvering and positioning for loading/ unloading cargo.

Goldhofer self-propelled modules with electronic steering have a number of high-tech features:

Module has power pack and Electronic Multipoint Control system with the following steering modes:

• regular steering
• diagonal steering
• 90° steering
• crab steering
• carousel steering
• 5 additional steering modes are custom.
• 3 additional steering modes are optional, at the request of the customer.

The EMC system was engineered using the latest technical standards so the steering of all axles is synchronized. Electronic software is easy-to-use with maximum safety.

A sensor is integrated into each axle group. Current steering angle is transmitted to the central computer. Electronic control system sensor converts the signal into digital format for processing by the central computer. It ensures accurate and correct operation.

The installation of all steering modes is possible at maximum load and on site. Each axle group is controlled by the central computer and hydraulic valve system. The steering angle of each axle +/- 135 °. It ensures precise positioning of the module, especially for diagonal steering (90°), since in this case, the constant steering angle is +/- 45°.

If necessary, each axle group can be controlled separately.

The power pack is removable. A diesel engine with water cooling system ensures work of hydraulic pumps, axle steering, lifting / lowering hydraulic suspension through the distribution mechanism.

The power pack can be mounted on the front of the module, by means of a bolt connection or on top of loading platform (optional). The power pack can be lifted / lowered (tilted), quickly hydraulically detached in case of low clearance.
