Benefiting from the company's extensive knowledge and experience, a wide range of products and the excellent availability of Goldhofer service, the cargo tow tractors are kept as simple, efficient and solution-oriented as possible. Customers worldwide already trust in the excellent reputation of Goldhofer products. The Sherpa family offers the ultimate efficiency. The product line was developed with modular design in mind: Standardized parts with sophisticated options for customized vehicle designs. Long maintenance intervals save money and ensure operational readiness. Sherpa D and Sherpa E provide powerful and reliable support for a wide range of tasks on the airport apron. While the Shepra E offers the same comfort, safety and performance benefits as diesel vehicles, it can be operated as an environmentally friendly alternative, and even indoors. For small airports specializing in handling private jets, flexible equipment is crucial – it must be safe and reliable in all functions. That is why we developed the Shepra to not only be used as a cargo tractor, but also to be capable of moving aircraft up to 50t MTOW. Goldhofer’s Sherpa family scores regarding operational safety: with a fleet of more than 500 cargo tractors, countless cargo have been moved reliably and with sophisticated, unique technology. As a pioneer in high-voltage technology, Goldhofer has made sure that GSE operations became extremely efficient, sustainable and safe at the same time. Operators of Goldhofer vehicles benefit from ergonomics and easy operation that guarantees safety for both, human resources, and load. The proven cargo tractor Shepra E does not only represent emission-free operation on the apron, but also stand for Goldhofer Safety. Furthermore, customers benefit from extraordinary investment certainty and predictability. Goldhofer’s LINK enables condition-based maintenance by analyzing specific operating parameters to increase operational safety and optimize maintenance planning and vehicle operability. This makes LINK the perfect tool for intelligent vehicle performance management. Overall, this makes Goldhofer “the” partner not only for E-Mobility but also for safe operations on the apron.
