Goldhofer, a Partner for e-Mobility and Safe Apron Operations

July 20, 2023

Goldhofer has established itself as a leading provider of sustainable and highly efficient aircraft and cargo towing solutions, aligning with global "Green Initiatives" and "Blue Sky Policies" adopted by airports worldwide.

With a history of building aircraft tractors dating back to 1960s and electric vehicles in the 1980s, Goldhofer has established itself as one of the pioneers within the industry. During this time, Goldhofer has amassed extensive expertise and unrivaled experience.

Today, among others, this is reflected in an extremely high ratio of employees in R&D. This continuous competence build-up has led to numerous ground-breaking products, such as the Phoenix series or the IonMaster high-voltage technology for E-vehicles. For Goldhofer, safety is not just a theoretical concept but a culture that is deeply rooted in the company. Not only do Goldhofer vehicles score regarding operational safety: With a fleet of thousands of tow tractors and 500 cargo tractors, millions of aircraft and countless cargo have been moved reliably and with sophisticated, unique technology.

As a pioneer in high-voltage technology, Goldhofer has made sure that GSE operations became extremely efficient, sustainable and safe at the same time. Operators of Goldhofer vehicles benefit from ergonomics and easy operation that guarantees safety for both, human resources, and load. The proven towbarless tractor Phoenix E and cargo tractor Sherpa E presented at the International GSE Expo do not only represent emission-free operation on the apron, but also stand for Goldhofer safety.

Furthermore, customers benefit from extraordinary investment certainty and predictability. Goldhofer’s »LINK« enables condition-based maintenance by analyzing specific operating parameters to increase operational safety and optimize maintenance planning and vehicle operability. This makes LINK a perfect tool for intelligent vehicle performance management.

Also, Goldhofer cultivates long-standing partnerships so that high-quality components and spare parts supply are ensured. Overall, this makes Goldhofer a partner not only for e-mobility but also for safe operations on the apron.
