TII GROUP
– MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS

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

“K25“ platform trailer combination with longitudinal and laterally-coupled bogie units
Flexible solutions
Construction machinery, turbines, heavy transformers or oversized
and extremely heavy plant components - heavy-duty transportation
on public roads present difficult challenges for logistic specialists
and heavy-duty forwarding companies on a daily basis. Tight bends,
steep inclines, busy motorways, bridges, underpasses, narrow streets
in towns and cities must be negotiated, and compensating ground
unevenness among other things. With its flexible vehicle concepts,
the TII Group offers standardised and individual solutions for transport
assignments in order to move loads weighing 50 t to several
thousand tonnes on public roads. For pulled transports using public
roads, very often transport distances involving hundreds or even
thousands of kilometres have to be overcome. Products of the TII
Group make these top logistical performances can be planned with
a high degree of reliability and thus making the entrepreneurial risk
of realising a long-distance transport assignment for the customer
calculable. In advance of a long-distance transport, the respective
national and cross-border homologation requirements must be taken
into consideration regarding the vehicle design and composition of
the combination.
The wide product range of the TII Group includes a series featuring
compact fifth-wheel vehicles that can be registered internationally
as well as various series of modular platform trailers.with different
load-bearing capacities, driving heights and vehicle widths, and
likewise adaptable to suit respective national regulations. In order
to optimise the payload for the technical or approval-related maximum
load-bearing capacity of the axles, the main focus during the
development was placed on creating a lightweight construction whilst
retaining the bending-resistant main beams. The TII Group's road
vehicle solutions are based on the hydraulically supported pendulum
axle which was developed by Scheuerle in 1956, and has revolutionised
the heavy-duty transport sectorsince its market launch. It makes it
possible to evenly distribute the payload over several axles and to
form so-called suspension groups. Uneven ground conditions can
be compensated for up to 650 mm. Thereby, the hydraulic pendulum
axle is particularly gentle on the road. The all-wheel steering with
large steering angles guarantees the best possible manoeuvrability
of heavy transport vehicles.

Transport equipment and accessories
Whether it is wheel loaders or heavy excavators, transformers or huge
industrial boilers, extra-long pre-stressed concrete beams or reactors
for the petroleum industry, the TII Group offers its customers the
right equipment to perfectly match their vehicle fleet through its wide
range of transport vehicles: standard and customised excavator, slab,
frame, hydraulic girder or side girder decks, long material equipment
such as transport swivel bolsters for oversized trailer combinations,
split-module type vehicles for lateral coupling to widen the support
base, patented gooseneck systems with continuous adjustment of
the fifth wheel load, drawbar equipment and much more.

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

Innovative concepts for the transportation of
wind power plants
Regardless whether it is off-shore plants in the middle of the sea or
on-shore at very exposed, windy places – the dimensions of wind power
plants are enormous. Extremely long rotor blades, giant nacelles and
tower segments, lattice tower constructions, huge tripods, oversized
monopiles, thousands of tonnes of heavy gravity foundations, machine
houses, hubs or transformers are pre-assembled at many different
locations and then have to be transported from the production sites
to the dockside or to their place of destination on shore.
For the transportation of on and off-shore wind power plants, the
Wind turbine blade transporter with radio controlled
wind blade adapter with lifting and tilting device –
version with lifting angle of up to 70°
Transport of a rotor star

TII Group offers extremely robust, high load-bearing but still very
manoeuvrable vehicle designs with special transport features for
segments of wind power plants. Thereby, extremely long vehicle combinations
as well as flexible units are possible for transportation around
tight bends up to mountain summits or coupled combinations for the
transport of very heavy loads to the dock for loading onto the ship.
A large number of new developments have been realised in close
cooperation with our customers. For example, remote-controlled
wind tower adapters with innovative, weight-optimised and telescopic
adapter technology which easily adjust to accommodate the
respective element.
As a result, wind tower elements and nacelles can be transported
without any problems. A new side loader makes it possible to handle a
tower segment directly at the place of assembly without requiring any
additional mobile crane. The radio-controlled blade adapter can lift a
rotor blade by up to 70 degrees during transportation. In connection
with a slewing device, abutments, trees, buildings and other obstacles
can be circumnavigated. The drive axles of the PowerBooster – an
innovation of the TII Group for modular platform trailer combinations
– which can be additionally switched on and which are propelled by
engine aggregates with a capacity of several hundred horsepower,
support the tractor if required in rough terrain and on steep inclines.

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

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

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

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

Transport of megablocks weighing up to 6,000 tonnes on coupled ship section lift transporters
Moving gigantic elements with the utmost precision
Huge sections of tankers, complete submarines, rear sections of
cruise ships, the bow of a freight ship, enormous parts of an icebreaker
– in shipbuilding, giant loads have to be moved around at
theproduction facility and then placed with the utmost precision. This
requires sensitive, manoeuvrable special vehicles which take on the
handling and transportation of the extremely heavy loads during the
production process. The TII Group has decades-long experience in
the development and manufacturing of transportation systems for
the shipyard industry. With the development of the ship section lift
transporter technology, the Group has revolutionised the in-plant
transportation of ship sections and set the global standard in shipyard
logistics. On individual vehicles with loading areas of up to 200
square metres and more, ship sections weighing 1,000 tonnes can be
moved with the extremely high load-bearing and accurately steered
high-tech vehicles. Through the combination of several ship section
lift transporters, it is possible to transport huge mega blocks weighing
several thousands of tonnes. The sophisticated pendulum axle
technology with axle compensation of up to 700 millimetres, ensures
a balanced load on all tyres also when moving on uneven terrain.
With the self-propelled modular transporters complete with hydrostatic
drive and electronic multi-directional steering, the TII Group
offers further flexibly applicable product series for the internal transportation
of ship sections as well as complete vessels. Depending on
the respective requirements, they can be mechanically coupled to
form a large transportation combination or they can be arranged in
a loose coupling mode under the load by means of data lines.

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

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

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

Thin air at an altitude of 5,000 metres, hundreds of kilometres of
dusty desert, freezing cold in the endless expanses of Siberia, weights
that are beyond human understanding and gigantic dimensions that
take your breath away – when the challenges for logistical solutions
seem extreme or even impossible, the engineers and technicians of
the TII Group set everything in motion for its customers. In doing so,
they have the very latest development tools at their disposal. Topographical
situations are also taken into consideration such as the
local climatic conditions or the requirements placed on the system
performance as well as the stress and demands on the materials
used. This results in innovative special-purpose vehicles which are
developed in close cooperation with the customers and which have
been exactly adapted to meet their specific requirements. Time and
time again this leads to completely new technical solutions that enhance
the product range of TII Group and which also find their way
into standard solutions. These developments often have the potential
of opening up completely new markets.
For example, for the transportation of offshore cable reels with diameters
of 7 to 14 metres, a 17-metre high and 11-metre wide cable
reel transporter with a payload of 500 tonnes was designed. Railway
vehicle transporters complete with multi-directional steering move
entire train units in the production facilities. Innovative low-bed trailer
technology with and without additional drive for extreme operations
has been developed for the military sector. A number of Tractomas
tractors are operating in what is the world‘s largest coupling mode
with platform trailers and side girder decks to transport transformers.
Unmanned transportation systems (Automatic Guided Vehicles) that
the TII Group originally designed for harbour logistics are also used
today as in-plant transportation systems in the glass industry and
other sectors. The TII Group frequently sets new global standards
with its heavy-duty transportation vehicles and regularly establishes
new world records.

In order to be able to offer its customers the complete
innovative strength of the TII companies, SCHEU-
ERLE, NICOLAS, KAMAG and TII India have bundled
the customer services for all markets and locations
in a joint sales organisation, the TII Sales GmbH
& Co. KG. With a wide network of representatives
and own sales locations, TII Sales has the required
global presence. This guarantees a comprehensive
consultation service for customers on the spot,
right from the start.
– EXPERTISE RIGHT FROM THE START!
58
Our sales team satisfy the individual requests of
the customers. Whether it is a new customer interested
in a single vehicle or preparing an offer at
short notice of standardised vehicle components to
complement an already existing fleet, together with
SCHEUERLE, NICOLAS, KAMAG and TII India, TII
Sales offers the expertise and know-how in order
to fulfil customer requests. This is also true for the
complete conversion of an existing vehicle fleet
or finding the solution to individual transportation
problems. With the help of the extensive company
database, the specific requirements can be quickly
identified and discussed with the customer thus
resulting in a fast offer. It is, for example, an integral
element when advising customers to always look
for possibilities of combining existing vehicles with
new purchases.
One very essential core competence of the TII Group
is to develop individual customer solutions for special
heavy-duty transport problems: already during
the first meeting with customers, the specialists
and experts from the individual companies begin
to create customised transportation solutions in
close cooperation with TII Sales. As early as the
preparation phase, numerous questions concerning
a particular transport have to be resolved. The engineers
and technicians at the TII Group have the very
latest tools at their disposal such as the transport
simulation programme SALSA Plus which was
developed in-house: processes and situations can
be simulated with millimetre-precision. The highly
experienced engineers of the Group know the effects
of a particular environment on the systems and
drives of the transportation modules and vehicles,
and how they would have to be modified according
to the local situation, or even undergo fundamental
modification. This knowledge is invaluable for
the customer. TII Group project engineers create
application-specific solutions in close cooperation
with the developers and technical designers. Here,
they make use of the know-how of key suppliers. In
close collaboration with customers, the respective
requirements are to begin with determined down
to the last detail and then analysed in technical
discussions with the customer. Then, the type of
modifications that need to be carried out on existing
models are checked or what a new development
would have to be in order to fulfil the customerspecific
requirements.
Also during order processing, the customer is continuously
supported by the sales department and to
ensure that the individual contractual agreements
are implemented. This means, for example, that test
runs are included in the order for customised transportation
solutions. Briefings regarding the handling
of new vehicles as well as maintenance operations
are also elements of the order processing. After
acceptance by the customer, the transporters are
delivered as requested and are commissioned on
site. TII Sales supports the customers through all
these steps from the offer phase through to project
implementation and delivery.
Staff members of the sales organisation are frequently
away on business around the world. They
have extensive knowledge of the industry and have
a skilled eye for individual solutions. For this, they
use the very latest sales tools and thus safeguard
the expert implementation of customer requests
right from the very beginning.
