A PARTNERSHIP THAT SETS THE BENCHMARKS
Goldhofer Aktiengesellschaft, globally acknowledged innovator and market leader in the field of heavy-duty and special transport solutions, is celebrating the completion of the first order placed by Zwatra B.V., a Dutch heavy haul company with a reputation for innovative and customized transport services.
ith a history dating back to 1705, the name Goldhofer is synonymous with quality and reliability. The company offers a wide range of products, from modular systems to fully integrated heavy-duty solutions tailored to the specific needs of the individual customer. Goldhofer stands for technological excellence and has positioned itself at the forefront of the global market through a policy of continuous innovation. Zwatra B.V. has established itself as a leading provider of heavy-duty transportation services through its commitment, expertise and extensive fleet of vehicles. The Dutch company has a convincing track record for mastering complex logistics tasks with precision and care.
The latest addition to the Zwatra fleet comprises 14 axle lines of the Goldhofer »FT SERIES« presented at BAUMA 2022 with an increased bending moment for handling extreme payloads. The choice of 285 tires in a width of 2,750 mm offers enhanced stability and safety for heavy haul operations. The accessories ordered, including goosenecks and loading decks with various components for additional functionality, increase Zwatra’s options for transporting a wide range of loads safely and efficiently.
This first order was handled by Matrax B.V., Goldhofer’s exclusive Dutch sales agent. This joint operation is an expression of the strong ties and mutual trust existing between the companies and represents an important step in Goldhofer’s strategy of expansion on the Dutch market. Rob van Mosseveld, Goldhofer Sales Representative for the Netherlands at Matrax B.V., is enthusiastic: “A unique success that underlines the strong partnership between Goldhofer and Matrax and will deliver a lasting stimulus to the Dutch market.”
Goldhofer’s »FT SERIES« is a groundbreaking solution that offers unprecedented flexibility and investment security for the heavy haul industry. The basic vehicle can be individually configured to meet individual requirements when ordering. System modifications are easily made at any time, enabling a flexible response to changing market requirements and sustainably reducing overall operating costs. The »FT SERIES« can be combined with almost all Goldhofer modules, regardless of basic width or choice of tires. Existing trailer accessories such as load decks and goosenecks can be used without any problems.
Various single and twin tire options round off the range of potential configurations. In addition, the flexible adjustments available with the »FT SERIES« open up opportunities for new business models. Cooperation with new partners and cross-rental business are also facilitated. With axle compensation cylinders easily replaced and combination packages available for purchase, the »FT SERIES« is also ideally positioned for the pre-owned vehicle market. This generates higher resale prices and helps to maintain the value of the fleet. Goldhofer’s »FT SERIES« is a future-oriented solution that meets the diverse needs of the individual customer and is now revolutionizing the heavy haul industry.
The unique transport solution for cable drums, which was also included in the order and is now part of the Zwatra offering, is a prime example of Goldhofer’s innovative solutions. It enables cable drums of different sizes and weights to be transported safely and efficiently and also features an integrated unwinder, which gives Zwatra a significant competitive advantage.
Günther Vogel, Area Sales Manager at Goldhofer, says: “A leading Dutch company has placed its trust in Goldhofer, with its focus on maximum flexibility and future-oriented products, as a first-time customer, and we feel very honored. This order is clear confirmation of trust and recognition of our leading position in the industry.” Mark Heijdra, Commercial Manager and Dennis de Groot, Operational Manager at Zwatra B.V., are clearly impressed by the quality and performance of their new equipment: “We are very satisfied with Goldhofer’s products and are looking forward to a long and successful partnership.”
The completion of the first order placed by Zwatra B.V. not only represents a milestone in the history of the two companies, but also points the way for a future in which Goldhofer and Zwatra B.V. will jointly set new benchmarks in the field of heavy haulage. This partnership shows how extraordinary results can be achieved through cooperation, trust and excellence in terms of technology and engineering.
