With heavy haulage it's all about axle weight - and after more than 18 tonnes were removed from its drawbar module, the Goldhofer STZ-H10 10-axle trailer can haul a payload of 100 tonnes.
The trailer, which has a new 30-tonne kerb weight, will debut at the IAA show in Hannover later this month. Ivan Collins, sales director at Andover Trailers, says Goldhofer
has raised the bar with the STZ-H10 in terms of user-friendliness through its clearly arranged central control panel, where all adjustments can be carried out quickly.
"In many countries, transit fees are calculated by axle load, which in turn will mean that transport companies will save money through operating this 10-axle model," he adds. At 40km/h the trailer has a gross weight of 151 tonnes, with a payload of 121.2 tonnes. At 80km/h the maximum permissible payload is 96.2 tonnes.
