Special Vehicles
Modern solutions for demanding tasks
Cranes, civil protection vehicles or ships – special-purpose vehicles are used wherever demanding tasks must be performed. The steel business of thyssenkrupp provides high-performance solutions for the respective field of application setting new standards on the market.
Low fuel consumption, low maintenance and an extended service life – these requirements apply to vehicles in agriculture and forestry, to construction machinery as well as to shipbuilding, rail vehicles and wagon building and also civil protection vehicles. The focus of the portfolio of the steel business of thyssenkrupp is on materials showing a reduced dead weight and simultaneously ensuring a maximum of robustness, durability as well as load-bearing capacity. Permanent materials testing and continuous process controls ensure a consistently high quality.
Where extreme durability is required, our heavy plates are ideal: The special structural steel XAR® is suited due to its specific wear resistance for heavy construction machinery. N-A-XTRA®, XABO® and perform® show tight thickness tolerances and a lower dead weight, so that they can also increase the load-carrying capacity of mobile cranes.
