UK-based Collett & Sons has purchased Goldhofer Stepstar trailers, with delivery scheduled for September 2025.
The latest investment includes two 3-axle and two 4-axle step-frames, which Collett said will further enhance its operational capabilities and reinforce its commitment to high-performance equipment across abnormal and heavy haulage operations.
Engineered to deliver maximum performance with minimal height and tare weight, the Stepstar trailers are designed to combine versatility with operational efficiency.
The extendable trailer bed, which can reach up to 16.14 m for long and oversized cargoes, has a running height of just 780 mm. Meanwhile, the lightweight construction of the range, combined with its high payload capacity of up to 52 tonnes on the 3-axle trailer and up to 62.5 tonnes on the 4-axle trailer, makes it well suited for transporting heavy and abnormal loads across a broad range of industry requirements.
David Collett, managing director at Collett & Sons, said: “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.”
Upon arrival in September 2025, the new Stepstar trailers will join Collett’s expanding fleet of specialist equipment. Earlier this month, the heavy haulier put its new 150-tonne girder frame to work transporting a transformer to the Ironbridge substation in the UK. In June, the company added a 350-tonne capacity modular side girder bridge system from Greiner and purchased 36 Goldhofer THP/SL-L modular axle lines.
