Other lines that showed high levels of interest at bauma were demonstrations of the ‘PST/SL-E’ split combination with the FTV850 blade transporter. “bauma 2022 once again did justice to the event’s high standing in the industry,” says Robert Steinhauser, vice president sales & service Transport Technology at Goldhofer . “With the presentation of Goldhofer’s latest world first in the form of the FT Series we have definitely hit the bull’s eye and introduced a vehicle that will change the transportation market for years to come. Universal combinability with existing Goldhofer modules and accessories means lower acquisition costs and opens up new business models in the field of cooperation with partners and cross rental activities.”

There was also much interest shown in other Goldhofer solutions presented at bauma including the ‘Arcus P6’.Visitors were said to be particularly impressed by the self-tracking trailing dolly combination for transporting concrete beams and other long items and can also be converted into a wind turbine blade carrier in conjunction with ‘Blades’. This again results in a much wider range of applications and a faster return on investment. The biggest crowd puller of all, however, was the PST/SL-E split combination demonstrated in combination with the new FTV 850. This solution gave an impressive demonstration of the fact that the decisive factor for blade transportation is not metric tons but lateral stability.

“Once again, bauma has been the perfect opportunity to meet with proven experts in the construction industry and talk about new transport solutions. The discussions held are mutually stimulating and lead to new ideas and approaches for innovative solutions, whose results we hope to present at bauma 2025,” says Matthias Ruppel, CEO of Goldhofer AG.
