Goldhofer has completed its first order for Dutch heavy haul company Zwatra B.V. This milestone marks a significant collaboration between two industry innovators, setting new standards in the industry.
Goldhofer, with a legacy dating back to 1705, is renowned for its quality and reliability in modular and integrated heavy-duty transport solutions. Zwatra B.V. has built a strong reputation for innovative and customized heavy-duty transport services, mastering complex logistics with precision and care.
The latest addition to Zwatra’s fleet includes 14 axle lines of Goldhofer’s »FT SERIES«, known for handling extreme payloads with enhanced stability and safety. Presented at BAUMA 2022, the »FT SERIES« features an increased bending moment and 285 tires with a width of 2,750 mm, providing enhanced stability for heavy haul operations. The series also includes goosenecks and loading decks with various components to transport a wide range of loads safely and efficiently.
This order, managed by Matrax B.V., Goldhofer’s exclusive Dutch sales agent, exemplifies the strong ties and mutual trust between the companies. Rob van Mosseveld, Goldhofer Sales Representative for the Netherlands at Matrax B.V., highlights the partnership’s success and its positive impact on the Dutch market.
The »FT SERIES« is a groundbreaking solution offering unprecedented flexibility and investment security for the heavy haul industry. The basic vehicle can be configured to meet specific requirements and combined with various Goldhofer modules, regardless of basic width or tire choice. Existing trailer accessories such as load decks and goosenecks can be used seamlessly. Various single and twin tire options round out the range of potential configurations.
The »FT SERIES« also facilitates flexible adjustments, enabling new business models, cooperation with partners, and cross-rental business. With easily replaceable axle compensation cylinders and combination packages available, the »FT SERIES« is well-positioned for the pre-owned vehicle market, generating higher resale prices and maintaining fleet value.
A highlight of the order is the unique transport solution for cable drums, now part of the Zwatra offering. This innovative solution allows safe and efficient transport of cable drums of various sizes and weights, featuring an integrated unwinder that provides Zwatra a significant competitive advantage.
Günther Vogel, Area Sales Manager at Goldhofer, expressed honor at Zwatra’s trust in their products. Zwatra’s Commercial Manager Mark Heijdra and Operational Manager Dennis de Groot praised the quality and performance of the new equipment, anticipating a long and successful partnership.
