GOLDHOFER »STARLINE« FLEXIBILITY FOR UNIVERSAL APPLICATIONS

Premium quality at attractive prices. This was the motto Goldhofer chose for the launch of its successful »STARLINE« family of vehicles. Today the »STEPSTAR« range comprises an impressive and growing variety of semi-trailers.

Today, »STEPSTAR« semitrailers are available with 3 to 6 axle lines and payloads of up to 84 t. The Goldhofer »STARLINE« offers a choice of loading lengths with single or double extenders or the optional »MEGA« gooseneck for optimum utilization of the entire vehicle length as a loading area, e.g. for transporting containers.

Also, these semitrailers are available with one or two pairs of wheel recesses in the loading area for trans-porting high construction machines.

The platform model offers one- or two-piece ramps with an extremely low load angle for loading low-floor vehicles, a long and wide excavator boom recess in an open design to carry big excavator booms.

All »STEPSTAR« models offer a high degree of safety and make life easier for the driver. Various materials are available for the deck, such as sheet steel with anti-slip coating, wood or the low-wear »TraffideckGO« polymer flooring codeveloped by Goldhofer. This not only saves weight but also reduces loading height and has an outstanding coefficient of friction compared to conventional wooden or rubber flooring. It also ensures maximum safety during loading and on the road. “The »STEPSTAR« is the perfect response to our customers’ expectations: top quality plus intelligent details at competitive prices. Many customers particularly appreciate the fact that the 3-axle vehicles can be used for permitfree transport throughout Europe with payloads of up to 26.3 t and a gross com-bination length of 16.5 m,” says Marco Ceresa, Regional Sales Manager for Italy. The vehicles can also be fitted with the »CARGOPLUS®« low-profile tyres developed by Goldhofer, which offer the twin advantages of higher payloads and lower loading heights. »CARGOPLUS®« 60 supports axle loads of 10 tons compared with 8 tons with 205 tires, while »CARGOPLUS®« 80 corresponds to 245 tyres and delivers a 75 mm reduction in loading height for the same axle load. This translates into the ability to move taller and heavier construction machinery, which in turn means greater versatility, more flexibility and fewer detours due to height restrictions on the route.
