Goldhofer TU – low-bed semi-trailers from Memmingen: axle lines from 2 to 4, gross weights up to 48,000 kg, widths up to 2,990 mm for heavy haulage
Goldhofer of Memmingen in Bavaria is among the leading makers of heavy-load and special-transport vehicles and supplies both heavy-haulage carriers and construction-machinery and industrial firms. The TU range gathers a group of low-bed and platform semi-trailers for this use in the register; the type designation gives, after the letters TU, the number of axle lines – 2, 3 or 4 – followed by load figures distinguishing the individual versions.

The register lists 21 versions of the TU range with unladen weights from 4,830 to 13,360 kg, gross weights from 20,000 to 48,000 kg, lengths from 9,020 to 14,910 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,990 mm.
Trailers of this class carry construction machinery, industrial plant, transformers and other heavy, indivisible loads, forming the core business of Goldhofer, which besides classic low-loaders also builds modular heavy-duty systems and axle units for special transport worldwide.
On a used example, the condition and play of the steering knuckles on steerable axle lines count, rust on the chassis and low bed, the function of the hydraulic steering, height adjustment and loading ramps, brakes, tyres and wheel bearings, and the certificates for heavy-transport permits; spares and service run through the Goldhofer plant and its service points worldwide.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
