Welcome to Gothaer Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH

From complex tubular and plate fabrications in high-strength, fine-grained steels such as are used in cranes, to a diverse range of metalworking processes, GFT GmbH offers a wide spectrum of services.
 
At the centre of all our activities is welding. With some 200 technical staff and modern welding equipment, we are ideally equipped to take on the largest tasks and challenges – as well as smaller projects. We naturally offer all the welding-related services of a modern metalworking business, from prefabrication and surface treatment in our wet paint shop through to assembly and fitting. This makes us useful to a wide range of client groups, and accordingly, we produce system sub-assemblies with the same level of quality as we provide in our cutting activities as a ‘contractor’.

Crane Booms

in high-strength steel, with system dimensions up to 3,200 x 3,600 x 25,000 mm and weights up to 30 tonnes.
