New Goldhofer Stepstar Trailer Purchases Strengthen Abnormal Load Capabilities
We are pleased to announce the purchase of four brand new Goldhofer Stepstar trailers.
Scheduled to be delivered and operational in September 2025, the stepframe trailer investment includes two 3-axle and two 4-axle models, further strengthening our operational capabilities and reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a high-performance fleet for abnormal and heavy haulage projects.
Engineered by Goldhofer to deliver maximum performance with minimal height and tare weight, the new Stepstar trailers offer a combination of versatility and operational efficiency.
Trailer specifications include:
- A super low running height of the trailer bed at just 780mm.
- Air suspension offering improved ride quality and reduced impact on cargo and road infrastructure.
- Specialised CargoPlus80 tyres (225/60 R17.5) rated for 12 Tonne axle loads at 40mph, compliant with STGO Cat 2 and Cat 3 regulations respectively.
- Extendable trailer beds reaching up to 16.14 metres for increased flexibility with long and oversized cargoes.
- Ten 10 Tonne lashing points with twist lock securing points for ‘out-of-gauge’ flat rack containers and other oversized cargo.
- Low tare weight combined with high payload capacities of up to 52 Tonnes on the 3-axle model and up to 62.5 Tonnes on the 4-axle model.
- Side extensions up to 3.0 metres, plus drop-down rear landing legs for safe loading.
The lightweight construction of the Stepstar range, combined with its high payload capacity and extendable deck length, provides an ideal solution for transporting heavy and abnormal loads across a broad range of industry requirements.
David Collett, Managing Director at Collett & Sons Ltd, commented:
“The low height, capacity and flexibility of the new step-frame trailers make them an excellent addition to our fleet, bridging the gap between standard step-frames and more specialist equipment. It’s another step forward in ensuring we continue to provide our clients with the most efficient and effective transport solutions.”
Upon arrival, the new Stepstar trailers will join our expanding fleet of specialist equipment, ensuring Collett remains at the forefront of complex logistics and heavy transport solutions across the UK and Europe. This investment reflects our continued focus on innovation and operational excellence, helping us meet the ever-evolving challenges of abnormal load transport with precision, safety and confidence.
