December 4 - Mexico's Tradelossa has acquired one of very few Goldhofer Girder Bridges which are available on the worldwide market
The new girder bridge has capacity of approximately 400 tonnes and allows Tradelossa to increase its options for heavy haulage and over-dimensional transport.
The Goldhofer Girder Bridge has the advantage that it can be raised up to 2.08 m above floor level and lowered to 0.88 m. It has a turning radius of 15.7 - 17 degrees that allows better control on difficult turns.
Girder bridges are mainly used for the transport of generators and transformers.
