Special vehicles – for the toughest conditions
Special vehicles operating on modern construction projects have to meet extremely high requirements. Contemporary architecture requires complex ground preparation, a challenge that impacts directly on the design of the equipment.
Highly specialized vehicles are used in many sectors – including in agriculture, forestry, and surface and underground mining. They need to be robust and reliable. Reduced weight brings additional advantages in terms of reduced fuel and energy costs.
To meet these requirements thyssenkrupp with its Materials Services, Steel Europe, and Automotive Technology segments and the businesses Rothe Erde and Forged Technologies places special emphasis on consistent high quality. We ensure this through rigorous material tests and continuous process control.
Our customers appreciate these high quality standards. Low fuel consumption, reduced maintenance requirements, and longer life – these are goals we pursue constantly. We provide customers with materials that offer low weight while guaranteeing maximum strength and longevity.
In addition to the production of individual undercarriage components, we offer our customers completely assembled, ready-to-install undercarriage systems for all tracked construction machinery.
