Baumann - Die Spezialisten für das Schwere

NOUVEAU

Fondée en 1888, Baumann compte parmi les principales entreprises de transport lourd en Allemagne. L'entreprise dispose de l'un des parcs de véhicules lourds les plus modernes, comprenant des ponts pour charges exceptionnelles à la pointe de la technologie. Les tracteurs sont généralement des constructions spéciales selon les spécifications de Baumann, avec au moins trois essieux moteurs et des dispositifs d'attelage adaptés à des charges de traction très élevées.

Dans ce livre, l'expert en transport lourd et auteur Michael Müller décrit et illustre des transports exceptionnels réalisés par Baumann au cours des 25 dernières années.

Colonia Spezialfahrzeuge

It began in 1945 with a self-built trailer and a borrowed towing vehicle. Motor vehicles of all kinds were transported on official orders. Bridge and ship scrap had to be recovered from the Rhine.
Today, Colonia is the largest crane rental company and heavy load specialist on the Rhine, operating throughout Europe. Many of the special vehicles used in recent decades were constructed by the Cologne-based company itself. Using numerous unpublished images and with knowledgeable explanations, the authors document the eventful past and exciting present of Colonia's special vehicles.

Schmidbauer KG (Band 2) - Historische Fotoaufnahmen von 1974 bis 1986

The second volume covers the period from 1974 to 1986. After the work on the subway and the stadiums for the Summer Olympics was largely completed in the early 1970s, a series of interesting heavy transports were undertaken. For example, a Demag H 71 hydraulic excavator was transported to a power plant construction site at an altitude of more than 2200 m using two three-axle MAN tractors.
The creation of Fricke-Schmidbauer, which expanded the heavy-duty activities, is documented, as is, for example, the construction of a radio tower using the Liebherr LG 1200.

In 1983 there was a big celebration: 50 years of Schmidbauer and Jakob Schmidbauer's 70th birthday. To mark this anniversary, a new large crane was presented, the Gottwald AK 850, which can lift 1000 tonnes. This was Schmidbauer's 400th crane!
In the following years, several 200 250 and 300 tonne telescopic cranes from Demag and Liebherr were also added. In the lattice boom and crawler crane sector, Schmidbauer operated five cranes in the 1000 tonne class in 1985.
All of this is illustrated in this second volume using around 500 photographs and explained with expert texts.
