As part of a major energy infrastructure project, the first two out of a total of eight coolers for the onshore converter station in Büttel are successfully on their way. The route covers the distance from Nuremberg to Büttel, with further transports already in planning. Each cooler has a unit weight of approximately 28 tonnes […]

In 1981, KAHL developed the first four-axle heavy-duty tractor unit based on what is now the standard design, setting an important milestone in heavy transport. Even at that time, the company transported a wide variety of goods, including precast concrete elements, construction machinery, and large industrial components. However, the three-axle tractor units used back then […]

In the current issue of Kran Magazin, our Managing Director Andreas Kahl comments on the ongoing discussion surrounding oversized and heavy haul transports and the condition of our bridges. The maintenance backlog is real. At the same time, it is important to consider complex interrelationships in a differentiated manner. Oversized and heavy haul transports are […]

No GPS. No digital route analysis. No simulations. And yet: maximum precision. The photo shows a large-scale plant engineering component mounted on a Goldhofer girder bridge with a transport width of over five meters. What is now planned using complex calculations, simulations, and state-of-the-art software was back then the result of experience, technical expertise, and […]

Modern heavy-duty tractor units are highly complex technical systems. To meet the specific demands of our transports, individual modifications are essential. Our automotive electronics technicians analyze, plan, and implement customized solutions for each individual tractor unit. Special functions, specific control systems, and additional technical components are precisely integrated and perfectly tailored to their respective field […]

When René, Ralph and Anna roll in with three mega trailers, one thing is clear: this is not about small moves – this is MEGA delivery. While others were still asleep, our team was already on the move. Even before sunrise, the heavy transport of the bridge segments was ready to safely cover the final […]

Wintry conditions confronted our current heavy transport with an unplanned but necessary pause. A transformer en route from North Rhine-Westphalia to Bavaria had to make a temporary stop at a service area due to heavy snowfall. For safety reasons, the transport vehicle had to be parked at a service area. The winter conditions created impressive […]

Our Managing Director Andreas KAHL was recently a guest on the “Verkehrsrundschau Funk” podcast. In episode #336: GST 2026 – Between Bureaucracy and Inland Shipping, he talks about current developments within the industry and the growing bureaucratic challenges companies are facing. The podcast focuses on the potential implications of heavy haulage and oversized transports in […]

With our side girder bridge G² | K600 and a 289-ton transformer, we once again demonstrated in Aachen that extreme loads can be transported safely even under the most demanding conditions. In heavy transport, flexibility of the fleet is just as crucial as size, length, and weight. Thanks to the variable configuration options, the transport […]

As part of securing the energy supply, the KAHL Group was responsible for the transport and positioning of a 350 MVA backup transformer for the Arpe substation. With a weight of 305 tons and extraordinary dimensions, the project placed the highest demands on technology, planning, and logistics. The key challenge of this project lay in […]
