Glossary
Axle lines / modular transporter
Special transport vehicles with multiple steerable axles that can move heavy or oversized loads with millimeter precision. These systems are often used in heavy-load logistics.
Mobile crane
A mobile crane mounted on a truck chassis. Mobile cranes are highly versatile and can lift and move heavy loads with precision.
BF3 / BF4 escort
Escort vehicles for heavy haulage transports, equipped with special lighting and radio communication to ensure road safety. BF4 vehicles are also fitted with a digital display panel for traffic control.
Counterweight
Additional ballast weights attached to cranes or heavy haulage vehicles to increase stability and lifting capacity.
Lattice boom crane
A crane with a lattice boom, particularly suitable for heavy loads and great heights. Commonly used in building construction and industrial applications.
Lifting gantry
A structure with hydraulic jacks that makes it possible to lift or move heavy loads when a crane cannot be used. Often used for machinery relocations.
Loader crane
A crane arm mounted on a truck, used for loading and unloading goods. Loader cranes are ideal for transporting and self-loading materials.
Machinery relocation
The transport and repositioning of heavy machinery within a plant or to a new location, often in confined spaces.
Mobile tower crane
A combination of mobile crane and tower crane that is quickly ready for use and offers long reach. Especially advantageous in urban areas or on tight construction sites.
Installation van
A specially equipped vehicle for technicians, containing tools, spare parts and installation aids. The installation van enables flexible on-site work.
Pick and carry crane
A special crane that can not only lift loads but also transport them while moving. Particularly suitable for tight industrial halls and precise machine movements.
Heavy-duty lifting beam
A special lifting attachment that distributes the load across multiple lifting points and ensures more stable crane lifting.
Forklift
An industrial truck used for internal load transport. Forklifts are available in various sizes and with different load capacities.
Semi-low loader
A special trailer with a lowered loading platform between the axle and the tractor unit. Ideal for transporting tall and heavy machinery or components.
Telescopic crane
A crane with an extendable telescopic boom that can be adjusted in length as needed. Ideal for construction sites or jobs with changing height requirements.
Lowbed / flatbed
Two types of low loaders:
Lowbed: Particularly low loading height for tall and oversized goods.
Flatbed: Flat design, ideal for transporting containers, palletized goods or machinery.
Traffic management
Measures to secure crane operations or heavy haulage transports, e.g. with mobile barriers, diversions or road closures.
