AIRPORT TECHNOLOGY
LINE OF PRODUCTS

The merger between Goldhofer and Schopf brings together the

know-how of two German market leaders in the field of airport
technology. For you that means a still bigger bundle of experience,
a wider product range with everything under one roof, and still more
outstanding service availability. In short: performance squared.

The Schopf product range for civil aviation and military deployments
includes a complete range of aircraft tow tractors between 5,000
and 70,000 kg operating weight, for handling aircraft in every weight
range.

Goldhofers towbarless aircraft tractors are the safe and economical

solution for modern airports. The tractors in the AST-1, AST-2 and
AST-3 series are the key to flexible working for pushbacks, gateto-gate and maintenance towing for aircraft up to 600 tons MTOW.

A remotely controlled towbarless

pushback tractor for aircraft of up
to 100 metric tons weight.
The Schopf PowerPush is the only
one of its kind, reducing labor costs
by up to 70% and it can handle up
to 70% of all pushbacks in a typical
airport.

Schopf manufactures smaller tow

tractors, powered by Diesel, Hybrid
or CNG/LPG used for baggage
and cargo handling in airports and
industry, as well as by logistics
companies.

The Schopf product range includes

container pallet loaders. Based
on the extremely successful
7-ton Loadstar 070, our recent
development is our 14-ton Loadstar
140. Both loaders are built to the
same high standards Schopf users
have become accustomed to.

Based on the experience gained

during many successful aircraft
recovery operations world-wide and
in close collaboration with recognized
recovery experts, Goldhofer has
designed and built the ARTS recovery
system (Aircraft Recovery and
Transportation System).

Container pallet loaders were first introduced to the Schopf product

range in the 1990s. Based on the successful 7-ton Loadstar 070, our
latest development is our 14-ton Loadstar 140. Both loaders are built
to the same high standards Schopf users have become accustomed
to. Innovative features and high operational efficiency have made the
Schopf LoadStar range a favourite among our increasing number of
customers.

The ARTS is the complete recovery solution for disabled aircraft up to and including A380.
It consists of three hydraulic platform trailers which can be arranged and coupled to each other
depending on the operational task. The trailers can also be operated individually. The experience
gained in self-propelled vehicle technology has led to the development of the ARTS recovery
system. The ARTS does not depend on prime movers because it has self-propelled modules.
A further advantage of this system is the possibility of computer-controlled multi-way steering
enabling normal,diagonal, cross and carousel steering modes.

- Low maintenance costs

Practical
- Rapid readiness for operation and recovery
- Truck and aircraft tractor can be used as a
towing vehicle or self-propelled modules
- Various combinations possible
- For aircraft up to A380

- Hydraulic manifold easily accessible and well protected
- Roller cassettes removable for maintenance
- Hydraulic tubes made of metal where possible
