TII GROUP<br />
– MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS<br />

"I acquired SCHEUERLE,<br />
NICOLAS, KAMAG<br />
and TII India due to my<br />
fascination with technical<br />
innovation.”<br />
Senator E. h. Otto Rettenmaier,<br />
multi-entrepreneur and<br />
founder of the TII Group<br />
The TII Group (Transporter Industry International<br />
GmbH) combines many years of experience and<br />
know-how of four world-leading heavy haulage<br />
specialists: SCHEUERLE Fahrzeugfabrik GmbH in<br />
Pfedelbach (Germany), NICOLAS Industrie SAS in<br />
Champs-sur-Yonne (France) and KAMAG Transporttechnik<br />
GmbH & Co. KG in Ulm (Germany).<br />
Since 2015, TII India in New Delhi (India) has been<br />
part of the Group and offers locally-made vehicles<br />
for heavy-duty transport assignments in India,<br />
Africa and Southeast Asia.<br />
SCHEUERLE, NICOLAS, KAMAG and TII India<br />
belong to the group of companies owned by<br />
Heilbronn-based multi-entrepreneur Senator<br />
E. h. Otto Rettenmaier. The award-winning businessman<br />
– including the Federal Cross of Merit First<br />
Class of the Federal Republic of Germany – has numerous<br />
industrial holdings and real estate investments<br />
in his extensive portfolio. The purchase of<br />
SCHEUERLE Fahrzeugfabrik in 1988 and NICOLAS<br />
in 1995 was followed by the founding of Transporter<br />
Industry International GmbH as a holding company<br />
for the production of heavy-duty transporters. The<br />
acquisition of KAMAG Transporttechnik in 2004 and<br />
the founding of TII India, which manufactures vehicles<br />
under the brand name TIIGER, continuously<br />
expanded the Group.<br />
The globally operating Group stands for state-ofthe-art<br />
technology, highest product quality and a<br />
total of around 400 years of expertise in the production<br />
of heavy-duty transporters. SCHEUERLE<br />
was the first company to successfully integrate the<br />
hydraulically suspended axle installed one after<br />
the other over the length of several axle lines - the<br />
birth of modern heavy-haulage transport. Today,<br />
the TII Group sets international standards in many<br />
industrial sectors and regularly sets new world<br />
records, most recently transporting more than<br />
17,200 tonnes. TII Group transporters move entire<br />
manufacturing plants, ships or submarines, oil rigs<br />
and other offshore platforms, molten slag, wind<br />
power plants or radio telescopes, and transport<br />
loads in the most remote and highest areas of the<br />
world. Extremely manoeuvrable, hydrostaticallydriven<br />
vehicles that fulfil the respective logistical<br />
requirements in very tight spaces, such as in<br />
tunnels, underground or in logistics centres, are<br />
also part of the production programme. With its<br />
innovative developments, the TII Group effectively<br />
solves those problems found in the most challenging<br />
of logistical operations.<br />
Highly qualified engineers constantly face new<br />
challenges. With creativity and ingenuity they realise<br />
customer requirements. The Group's heavy-duty<br />
transport vehicles are very reliable and proven in<br />
daily use whilst being designed to accommodate<br />
the highest of loads. They stand out due to a long<br />
service life. The efficient integration of the companies<br />
within the Group has created multiple synergetic<br />
effects that offer customers a high degree<br />
of flexibility and benefits. Centres of excellence<br />
for a wide range applications at the TII Group's<br />
production facilities ensure on-going industryspecific<br />
further developments of the company´s<br />
transport solutions.<br />
By bundling all the available experience and expertise,<br />
the TII Group is more than the sum of the<br />
individual companies that it unites it under one<br />
roof. The Group has created added value for its<br />
customers which they, in turn, like to capitalise on<br />
for ensuring their own success. As a family-run<br />
business focused on the long-term, the TII Group<br />
stands ready to take you into the future.

Flexible solutions<br />
Construction machinery, turbines, heavy transformers or oversized<br />
and extremely heavy plant components - heavy-duty transportation<br />
on public roads present difficult challenges for logistic specialists<br />
and heavy-duty forwarding companies on a daily basis. Tight bends,<br />
steep inclines, busy motorways, bridges, underpasses, narrow streets<br />
in towns and cities must be negotiated, and compensating ground<br />
unevenness among other things. With its flexible vehicle concepts,<br />
the TII Group offers standardised and individual solutions for transport<br />
assignments in order to move loads weighing 50 t to several<br />
thousand tonnes on public roads. For pulled transports using public<br />
roads, very often transport distances involving hundreds or even<br />
thousands of kilometres have to be overcome. Products of the TII<br />
Group make these top logistical performances can be planned with<br />
a high degree of reliability and thus making the entrepreneurial risk<br />
of realising a long-distance transport assignment for the customer<br />
calculable. In advance of a long-distance transport, the respective<br />
national and cross-border homologation requirements must be taken<br />
into consideration regarding the vehicle design and composition of<br />
the combination.<br />
The wide product range of the TII Group includes a series featuring<br />
compact fifth-wheel vehicles that can be registered internationally<br />
as well as various series of modular platform trailers.with different<br />
load-bearing capacities, driving heights and vehicle widths, and<br />
likewise adaptable to suit respective national regulations. In order<br />
to optimise the payload for the technical or approval-related maximum<br />
load-bearing capacity of the axles, the main focus during the<br />
development was placed on creating a lightweight construction whilst<br />
retaining the bending-resistant main beams. The TII Group's road<br />
vehicle solutions are based on the hydraulically supported pendulum<br />
axle which was developed by Scheuerle in 1956, and has revolutionised<br />
the heavy-duty transport sectorsince its market launch. It makes it<br />
possible to evenly distribute the payload over several axles and to<br />
form so-called suspension groups. Uneven ground conditions can<br />
be compensated for up to 650 mm. Thereby, the hydraulic pendulum<br />
axle is particularly gentle on the road. The all-wheel steering with<br />
large steering angles guarantees the best possible manoeuvrability<br />
of heavy transport vehicles.

When the traction force of the tractor reaches its limits during heavyduty<br />
transports, then the innovative and highly developed drive systems<br />
of the TII Group provide support. For example, the PowerBooster<br />
technology – an innovation of the TII Group – offers additional drive<br />
capacity if required for negotiating steep inclines. Here, the Power-<br />
Booster is an integral part of the modular platform trailer combination<br />
and supports the tractor (or tractors) with its traction force, which is<br />
automatically activated when needed.<br />
For special operations, the self-propelled platform trailer combinations<br />
(SP and SPE series) and self-propelled modular transporters<br />
(SPMT and K24 series) are used in heavy-duty transportation on<br />
public roads. The drive axles of these platform trailers and modular<br />
transporters are propelled by coupled engine aggregates – so-called<br />
PowerPackUnits (PPU) – with a capacity of up to 1,000 hp.<br />

Innovative concepts for the transportation of<br />
wind power plants<br />
Regardless whether it is off-shore plants in the middle of the sea or<br />
on-shore at very exposed, windy places – the dimensions of wind power<br />
plants are enormous. Extremely long rotor blades, giant nacelles and<br />
tower segments, lattice tower constructions, huge tripods, oversized<br />
monopiles, thousands of tonnes of heavy gravity foundations, machine<br />
houses, hubs or transformers are pre-assembled at many different<br />
locations and then have to be transported from the production sites<br />
to the dockside or to their place of destination on shore.<br />
For the transportation of on and off-shore wind power plants, the<br />
Wind turbine blade transporter with radio controlled<br />
wind blade adapter with lifting and tilting device –<br />
version with lifting angle of up to 70°<br />
Transport of a rotor star
TII Group offers extremely robust, high load-bearing but still very<br />
manoeuvrable vehicle designs with special transport features for<br />
segments of wind power plants. Thereby, extremely long vehicle combinations<br />
as well as flexible units are possible for transportation around<br />
tight bends up to mountain summits or coupled combinations for the<br />
transport of very heavy loads to the dock for loading onto the ship.<br />
A large number of new developments have been realised in close<br />
cooperation with our customers. For example, remote-controlled<br />
wind tower adapters with innovative, weight-optimised and telescopic<br />
adapter technology which easily adjust to accommodate the<br />
respective element.<br />
As a result, wind tower elements and nacelles can be transported<br />
without any problems. A new side loader makes it possible to handle a<br />
tower segment directly at the place of assembly without requiring any<br />
additional mobile crane. The radio-controlled blade adapter can lift a<br />
rotor blade by up to 70 degrees during transportation. In connection<br />
with a slewing device, abutments, trees, buildings and other obstacles<br />
can be circumnavigated. The drive axles of the PowerBooster – an<br />
innovation of the TII Group for modular platform trailer combinations<br />
– which can be additionally switched on and which are propelled by<br />
engine aggregates with a capacity of several hundred horsepower,<br />
support the tractor if required in rough terrain and on steep inclines.<br />

Plant construction and the off-shore industry are repeatedly faced<br />
with new extreme logistical challenges. For industrial installations<br />
such as power stations, off-shore platforms for oil and gas production<br />
and seawater desalination plants, oversized factory modules and plant<br />
components, which weigh up to several thousand tonnes and are often<br />
extremely long, have to be safely and reliably transported to their places<br />
of destination. Year by year, our customers transport new record loads<br />
with self-propelled modular transporters from the TII Group which are<br />
always guaranteed to attract a great deal of international attention. Also<br />
the current world record involving the transportation of a 17,280 tonne<br />
ship was also carried out using SPMTs from the TII Group.<br />
With more than 10,000 axle lines of the SPMT and K24 series – the<br />
“strong ones“ in the TII Group among the modular, self-propelled<br />
heavy duty transporters – the TII Group offers the largest fleet of this<br />
vehicle class in the global market. The SPMT (Self Propelled Modular<br />
Transporter) was designed by SCHEUERLE in 1983 as a special<br />
transport vehicle using amodular construction, and was launched<br />
under this name. Nowadays the name is synonymous for this type<br />
of transport technology. With their design conforming to loadable<br />
container dimensions, it was possible for the very first time to bring<br />
heavy-duty transporters to constantly changing destinations all over<br />
the world in a cost-effective way. Since this time, the SPMT and K24<br />
series have developed from special vehicles to an indispensable<br />
universal transporter on all large construction sites all over the<br />
world. The availability of more than 10,000 axle lines worldwide –<br />
with a calculative total payload that could transport 35 Eiffel Towers<br />
with a dead weight of 10,000 tonnes respectively at once – allows<br />
our customers to rent vehicle modules or find cooperation partners<br />
with compatible vehicles in order to be able to carry out heavy-duty<br />
transports of superlative dimensions. In the process, the coupling of<br />
different generation modules is guaranteed.<br />

The very latest production and development technologies at the TII<br />
Group ensure highest quality, reliability and long service life of the<br />
transportation vehicles. The electronic multi-directional steering,<br />
another pioneering innovation by SCHEUERLE, facilitates transversal,<br />
straight, diagonal, circlular and many other steering programs.<br />
Individual modules can be mechanically coupled to form a large<br />
transport combination or arranged in a loose coupling mode under<br />
the load on an area of 1,000 x 1,000 m. The sophisticated electronics<br />
system ensures the synchronisation of the drive system, steering,<br />
hydraulic lift and other functions for all transporter units integrated<br />
in the vehicle combination, and allows for navigation of the heaviest<br />
loads with millimetre accuracy.

Special solutions<br />
There is never sufficient space on tunnel construction sites whereby<br />
manoeuvring or even turning of vehicles on the soggy and unmachined<br />
surfaces is rarely possible. Nevertheless, the transportation of<br />
heavy goods such as tubbing or machines to the places of use has to<br />
be ensured also under these difficult circumstances. The TII Group<br />
provides professional transportation systems that have been tried<br />
and tested on jobsites for decades and which have been designed<br />
particularly to meet the needs on tunnel construction sites. The stand<br />
out due to their low overall heights combined with optimal loading<br />
capacities. Appropriately-fitted tyres offer the best stability against<br />
overturning even if the centre of gravity of the load is positioned very<br />
high. The systems with their sensitive hydrostatic drive as well as<br />
the same driving speed in both directions allow for precise navigation<br />
in the very restricted available tunnel space and the extremely<br />

important requirement of quickly moving in and out of the tunnel<br />
without having to turn.<br />
Intelligent transportation systems are also needed in bridge construction.<br />
This not only applies to moving individual bridge components<br />
but also the navigation of completely pre-fabricated bridges. In this<br />
respect, the TII Group has revolutionised bridge construction with the<br />
development of the “Girder Carrier” special vehicle - a mobile lifting<br />
system. This lifting system is connected with a self-propelled, electronically<br />
controlled transportation vehicle complete with hydrostatic<br />
drive. When using four individual vehicles, the lifting towers can be<br />
additionally equipped with swivel bolsters. This clearly increases<br />
the manoeuvrability. The transportation systems for tunnel construction<br />
as well as for bridge construction can normally be combined<br />
and coupled to form a loose coupling mode either mechanically or<br />
through the use of data lines. As a result, this makes them extremely<br />
manoeuvrable and they can be navigated extremely accurately<br />
when operating under full load (1,600 tonnes) also in the tightest of<br />
construction site situations.<br />

Moving gigantic elements with the utmost precision<br />
Huge sections of tankers, complete submarines, rear sections of<br />
cruise ships, the bow of a freight ship, enormous parts of an icebreaker<br />
– in shipbuilding, giant loads have to be moved around at<br />
theproduction facility and then placed with the utmost precision. This<br />
requires sensitive, manoeuvrable special vehicles which take on the<br />
handling and transportation of the extremely heavy loads during the<br />
production process. The TII Group has decades-long experience in<br />
the development and manufacturing of transportation systems for<br />
the shipyard industry. With the development of the ship section lift<br />
transporter technology, the Group has revolutionised the in-plant<br />
transportation of ship sections and set the global standard in shipyard<br />
logistics. On individual vehicles with loading areas of up to 200<br />
square metres and more, ship sections weighing 1,000 tonnes can be<br />
moved with the extremely high load-bearing and accurately steered<br />
high-tech vehicles. Through the combination of several ship section<br />
lift transporters, it is possible to transport huge mega blocks weighing<br />
several thousands of tonnes. The sophisticated pendulum axle<br />
technology with axle compensation of up to 700 millimetres, ensures<br />
a balanced load on all tyres also when moving on uneven terrain.<br />
With the self-propelled modular transporters complete with hydrostatic<br />
drive and electronic multi-directional steering, the TII Group<br />
offers further flexibly applicable product series for the internal transportation<br />
of ship sections as well as complete vessels. Depending on<br />
the respective requirements, they can be mechanically coupled to<br />
form a large transportation combination or they can be arranged in<br />
a loose coupling mode under the load by means of data lines.

Extreme working conditions are a feature of the steel industry. Hot<br />
slag with temperatures up to 1,300 degrees, molten steel, angular<br />
and dusty bulk materials, metre-long and extremely heavy red-hot<br />
steel slabs or coils provide a difficult challenge for workers and<br />
machines alike. In addition, the vehicles for in-plant logistics have<br />
to work reliably and safely under these extreme conditions and, at<br />
the same time, have to be cost-effective.<br />
The TII Group has developed transportation systems for meeting<br />
logistics requirements in the metallurgy sector which can expertly<br />
handle the extreme heat, dirt and heavy loads. As a full-range supplier,<br />
the Group provides vehicles for operations in the production<br />
process in steelworks which can reliably deal with all transportation<br />
tasks along the value chain. Here, the product range ranges from<br />
ladle carriers for molten steel with payloads of over 500 tonnes<br />
and slag pot carriers with payloads up to 150 tonnes through to<br />
slab transporters, industry transporters, scrap basket transporters,<br />
U-frame trucks and articulated vehicles, compact coil transporters<br />
with cover protection against all types of weather as well as heavy<br />
load trailers with electronic steering and automatic positioning aid<br />
for driving under pallets.<br />

Safe and reliable under extreme conditions<br />
Modern mining and the mining industry have experienced tremendous<br />
technological changes. Where only a few decades ago trolleys and<br />
human labour were relied on to get the job done, today huge amounts<br />
of earth and rock are moved by machines specially designed for this<br />
purpose. The logistical challenges are, on the one hand, to efficiently<br />
transport the excavated materials for further processing and, on<br />
the other, transporting the large, often difficult-to-move stripping<br />
machines to their places of operation<br />
The TII Group can look back on decades-long experience in the mining<br />
sector. Today, the Group has a wide range of vehicles and modules for<br />
the transportation of giant excavators, earth movers, surface mining<br />
machines and conveying systems in the most remote mining areas<br />
in the world. The product portfolio ranges from electronically controlled,<br />
self-propelled units and manouvrable lifting transporters and<br />
mega modules through to U-frames and special vehicles. The most<br />
powerful tractor worldwide approved for road use, the Tractomas<br />
with more than 1,000 hp, has established itself in the large mining<br />
regions of the world for towing raw material trailers in convoys –<br />
so-called road trains – involving total combination weights of up to<br />
550 tonnes at speeds of up to 80 km/h on unpaved roads or on up to<br />
8-degree gradients from the pit. Also for transportation underground,<br />
flexibly used transport systems including the unmanned versions –<br />
so-called AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles) - perform a wide range<br />
of tasks. The TII Group’s mining portfolio is characterized by its high<br />
level of robustness and very long service life. Whether it is working<br />
in temperatures of -40 to +50 degrees Centigrade or difficult, highly<br />
corrosive environments – the transport systems of the Group operate<br />
reliably and safely also under extreme conditions.<br />

Growth rates in road haulage are clearly increasing particularly in<br />
the areas of combined rail/road traffic and swap body logistics. This<br />
has led to an increasing demand for special solutions regarding<br />
internal transportation proceedures in logistics centres, forwarders<br />
yards, freight and parcel centres. Wherever a large number of swap<br />
bodies, trailers and semi-trailers have to be shunted, repositioned<br />
and towed, this means that cost-effective solutions for fast and safe<br />
moving operations are required. The "Wiesel" product range which<br />
has been developed by KAMAG – a TII Group company – optimally<br />
fulfills these requirements.<br />
Thus, customers can universally use the swap body transporter of<br />
the TII Group at their respective logistics centre as the “Wiesel” can<br />
accommodate all standard swap bodies due to the standard parking<br />
height of only 950 mm along with the jumbo swap bodies, as the highvolume<br />
swap bodies are called in the industry. Additionally equipped<br />
with fifth-wheel couplings for drawbar trailers and low-coupled centre<br />
axle trailers or with a fifth wheel coupling, all yard movements in a<br />
terminal are possible with only one machine. Highest operational<br />
comfort for the driver is guaranteed. Using only one step facilitates<br />
easy entry to the low-positioned driver’s cab. By means of a joystick,<br />
the driver can operate all functions such as forward movement and<br />
reversing, lifting and lowering of the lifting frame, automatic locking<br />
of the swap body and is thus able to safely and quickly move swap<br />
bodies, trailers and semi-trailers. The “TruckWiesel”, the terminal<br />
tractor from the TII Group, is equipped with the same joystick operation<br />
which was specially developed for moving semi-trailers. Once again,<br />
fast, safe, universal and thus cost-effective use for the customer is<br />
of primary importance.<br />
All semi-trailers, such as container chassis, box body semi-trailers,<br />
curtainsiders as well as 1 to 3-axle semi-trailers, are safely picked<br />
up, moved and set down by the “TruckWiesel“. Moreover, because fast<br />
moving operations means economic efficiency in terminal logistics,<br />
the fifth-wheel plate can be raised to 1,600 mm thus eliminating the<br />
need to crank the support feet during the moving procedure.<br />
Both the “Wiesel“ and “TruckWiesel“ are used by all major logistics<br />
companies, freight hauliers, parcel services and postal operators in<br />
all European countries.<br />

Thin air at an altitude of 5,000 metres, hundreds of kilometres of<br />
dusty desert, freezing cold in the endless expanses of Siberia, weights<br />
that are beyond human understanding and gigantic dimensions that<br />
take your breath away – when the challenges for logistical solutions<br />
seem extreme or even impossible, the engineers and technicians of<br />
the TII Group set everything in motion for its customers. In doing so,<br />
they have the very latest development tools at their disposal. Topographical<br />
situations are also taken into consideration such as the<br />
local climatic conditions or the requirements placed on the system<br />
performance as well as the stress and demands on the materials<br />
used. This results in innovative special-purpose vehicles which are<br />
developed in close cooperation with the customers and which have<br />
been exactly adapted to meet their specific requirements. Time and<br />
time again this leads to completely new technical solutions that enhance<br />
the product range of TII Group and which also find their way<br />
into standard solutions. These developments often have the potential<br />
of opening up completely new markets.<br />

– EXPERTISE RIGHT FROM THE START!<br />

Our sales team satisfy the individual requests of<br />
the customers. Whether it is a new customer interested<br />
in a single vehicle or preparing an offer at<br />
short notice of standardised vehicle components to<br />
complement an already existing fleet, together with<br />
SCHEUERLE, NICOLAS, KAMAG and TII India, TII<br />
Sales offers the expertise and know-how in order<br />
to fulfil customer requests. This is also true for the<br />
complete conversion of an existing vehicle fleet<br />
or finding the solution to individual transportation<br />
problems. With the help of the extensive company<br />
database, the specific requirements can be quickly<br />
identified and discussed with the customer thus<br />
resulting in a fast offer. It is, for example, an integral<br />
element when advising customers to always look<br />
for possibilities of combining existing vehicles with<br />
new purchases.<br />
One very essential core competence of the TII Group<br />
is to develop individual customer solutions for special<br />
heavy-duty transport problems: already during<br />
the first meeting with customers, the specialists<br />
and experts from the individual companies begin<br />
to create customised transportation solutions in<br />
close cooperation with TII Sales. As early as the<br />
preparation phase, numerous questions concerning<br />
a particular transport have to be resolved. The engineers<br />
and technicians at the TII Group have the very<br />
latest tools at their disposal such as the transport<br />
simulation programme SALSA Plus which was<br />
developed in-house: processes and situations can<br />
be simulated with millimetre-precision. The highly<br />
experienced engineers of the Group know the effects<br />
of a particular environment on the systems and<br />
drives of the transportation modules and vehicles,<br />
and how they would have to be modified according<br />
to the local situation, or even undergo fundamental<br />
modification. This knowledge is invaluable for<br />
the customer. TII Group project engineers create<br />
application-specific solutions in close cooperation<br />
with the developers and technical designers. Here,<br />
they make use of the know-how of key suppliers. In<br />
close collaboration with customers, the respective<br />
requirements are to begin with determined down<br />
to the last detail and then analysed in technical<br />
discussions with the customer. Then, the type of<br />
modifications that need to be carried out on existing<br />
models are checked or what a new development<br />
would have to be in order to fulfil the customerspecific<br />
requirements.<br />
Also during order processing, the customer is continuously<br />
supported by the sales department and to<br />
ensure that the individual contractual agreements<br />
are implemented. This means, for example, that test<br />
runs are included in the order for customised transportation<br />
solutions. Briefings regarding the handling<br />
of new vehicles as well as maintenance operations<br />
are also elements of the order processing. After<br />
acceptance by the customer, the transporters are<br />
delivered as requested and are commissioned on<br />
site. TII Sales supports the customers through all<br />
these steps from the offer phase through to project<br />
implementation and delivery.<br />
Staff members of the sales organisation are frequently<br />
away on business around the world. They<br />
have extensive knowledge of the industry and have<br />
a skilled eye for individual solutions. For this, they<br />
use the very latest sales tools and thus safeguard<br />
the expert implementation of customer requests<br />
right from the very beginning.
