At bauma 2025, the world’s largest trade show for construction vehicles and machinery, Goldhofer Aktiengesellschaft will once again showcase its Self-Propelled Modular Transporter with Hydraulic Widening and E-PowerPack.
Goldhofer’s regular product demonstrations at BAUMA 2025 will feature a range of innovations, with a key highlight being the PST/SL-E split self-propelled modular transporter with hydraulic widening. With an axle load of 45 tonnes and a variable width ranging from 3,000 mm to 5,100 mm, this transporter provides a cutting-edge solution for handling bulky loads. Its impressive tractive power ensures unparalleled efficiency, while the hydraulic widening system offers enhanced stability and load security—reducing the number of axle lines required.
This model is also highly compatible with the Goldhofer heavy-duty module family. The unit at BAUMA will be powered by Goldhofer’s new E-PowerPack. Robert Steinhauser, Vice President of Sales and Service, explains: “For the development of our E-PowerPack, we leveraged synergies with our Airport Technology division. Our extensive experience with all-electric aircraft tow tractors—capable of moving over 300 tonnes — provided valuable insights. As a result, we will present a technically advanced product at BAUMA that meets our customers’ high expectations.”
Another key highlight at BAUMA will be the ARCUS P 5 featuring CARGOPLUS tyres. Designed for efficiency and flexibility, this model boasts the lowest loading height on the market. With a mere 735 mm loading height (thanks to CARGOPLUS tyres) and a suspension stroke of 500 mm, the ARCUS P 5 ensures safe and effortless loading.
Its combination of forced- and friction-steered axles provides excellent manoeuvrability, reducing tyre wear at any ride height. The intuitive, centralised controls enable easy handling and maximum operational efficiency. Dennis Leschensky, Director of Sales Europe/North Africa, describes it as a breakthrough in heavy-duty logistics:
“With its low loading height and high manoeuvrability, the ARCUS P 5 sets new industry benchmarks. Customers benefit from its enormous payload capacity and minimal tyre wear, making it an indispensable transport solution.”
Additionally, the model offers multiple load securing options and incorporates innovative TRAFFIDECK GO flooring to ensure maximum safety.
Leading in Wind Power Transportation
Goldhofer will also showcase the RA 3-100 (4+7), an ideal solution for transporting wind tower sections. Designed for both safety and efficiency, it features a maximum payload of 100 tonnes and an impressive stroke of 2,000 mm. With a chassis width of 2,950 mm, it guarantees lateral stability, while air suspension axles ensure a load-friendly transport experience.
The RA 3-100 incorporates ergonomic operation and a maintenance-friendly design for ease of use. Its free-turning devices and adjustable rear steering system enhance manoeuvrability, even with the largest tower sections. A four-point pick-up system simplifies loading, allowing a single operator to handle the process without a crane. Dennis Leschensky highlights its significance:
“With the RA 3-100, we are setting a new benchmark in tower transportation. Our customers benefit from its high manoeuvrability and straightforward system design, making tower section transport safer and more efficient.”
Since its launch at BAUMA 2022, the PST/SL-E split has proven to be a valuable addition to heavy-duty fleets. It offers exceptional flexibility and performance, particularly in transporting loads with high centres of gravity or large wind turbine components. Jean-Philippe Martin, Director of Sales International Business, describes it as a “game changer”:
“The drive axle lines reduce the total number of axle lines needed while increasing transport efficiency, resulting in lower fuel consumption and enhanced performance.”
Its hydraulic widening system and support circuits improve rollover stability—crucial for transporting challenging loads.
Goldhofer is also setting new standards in digital transport planning. In collaboration with the developers of HeavyGoods.net, the company is making heavy-duty transport planning more efficient and cost-effective.
From BAUMA 2025 onwards, Goldhofer’s easyLOAD software will be replaced by the high-performance HeavyGoods app. This web-based application uses advanced algorithms to calculate axle loads, bending moments, rollover stability, overload limits, and cargo lashing requirements. It can also integrate data from 3D drone images, streamlining the permit application process and often eliminating the need for route inspections.
Goldhofer remains focused on manufacturing premium vehicles, while the HeavyGoods.net collaboration ensures customers benefit from cutting-edge digital solutions. Visitors to BAUMA 2025 can explore the new software at the Goldhofer stand (FN.819).
Goldhofer’s STARLINE series, a long-standing benchmark in heavy-duty logistics, will also be on display. The STEPSTAR and TRAILSTAR models offer solutions tailored for various transport applications, featuring low ride heights and reduced deadweight for everyday efficiency.
The STEPSTAR Z 4 model stands out with CARGOPLUS tyres, two wheel recesses, and an excavator boom recess. Its forced-steered axles enhance manoeuvrability and stability. Robert Steinhauser notes: “With CARGOPLUS tyres providing a low ride height of 790 mm and an axle load of 10 tonnes, our customers benefit from faster mobilisation and reduced detour distances. Designed for durability and low maintenance, and built with quality components from BPW and Neumeister, the vehicle also holds a high resale value.”
Meanwhile, the TRAILSTAR 4 is optimised for transporting standard construction machinery, featuring a loading height of just 795 mm and an axle load of 10 tonnes. Its lightweight design maximises fuel savings while maintaining full operational flexibility.
Steinhauser concludes: “Our vehicles are designed to meet customer requirements while ensuring maximum efficiency and safety. With STARLINE, we provide solutions that combine high performance with reliability, all while remaining economical and environmentally friendly.”
