Goldhofer\u2019s PST\/ES-E self-propelled heavy-duty module transporters (SPMT) with hydrostatic drive and electronic multiway steering are now a standard item in the maritime industry worldwide. With a vehicle width of 2,430 mm, the PST\/ES-E modules can be transported from one job to another on a cost-effective basis using normal flatbeds or flatracks.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s latest innovation in the further development of modular transporters is a hydraulically adjustable track width for an up to 25% increase in lateral stability.<\/p>\n
Goldhofer\u2019s PST\/ES-E (385) series is specially designed for handling ultra-heavy loads. With an axle load of up to 60 tons, these self-propelled modules offer an optimum payload\/axle load ratio \u2013 using standard truck tyres. All Goldhofer\u2019s new self-propelled modules can be fitted with standard tyres in 285 mm (19.5 inch), 315 mm (22.5 inch) and 385 mm (22.5 inch) widths. In addition, tyre wear benefits significantly from a +\/-135\u00b0 steering angle. According to Goldhofer, all that greatly reduces running costs.<\/p>\n
For the drive units, Goldhofer’s SPMTs come with a choice of four PowerPacks with a rated output of 150, 207, 360 and 390 kW. Thanks to their newly developed drive systems, the vehicles in the SPMT-2.0 generation achieve an up to 100% improvement in working speed and a 27.5 % increase in tractive force compared with conventional SPMTs.<\/p>\n
