Our Review of BAUMA 2025
Strong interest from Germany and abroad
Munich and BAUMA 2025 showed their best side! The atmosphere at our booth was excellent throughout the entire trade fair, and not just because of the weather. Our highly motivated team met numerous decision-makers and trade visitors from Germany and abroad. They all took the opportunity to learn more about our product portfolio, innovations, and the services we offer in the heavy-duty sector in person. Numerous discussions with managers from a wide range of industries clearly demonstrated the high demand for customized commercial vehicle solutions. We expect our presence in Munich to have a positive impact on demand across all segments.
Attention to specialized transport solutions
Our team was in constant action throughout all days of the trade fair. Intensive discussions, concrete project inquiries, and many new contacts confirm that BAUMA is an important platform for us to present high-performance and future-oriented transport technology. The numerous discussions with interested parties from abroad were also encouraging. A key theme was the high demand for flexibility and efficiency in heavy-duty transport. Especially in times of increasing logistical complexity, it’s not just vehicle solutions, but also rental and lease-purchase options that enable us to offer our customers decisive added value. Our conclusion from BAUMA: You can sense that entrepreneurs want to get things moving again.
Ready-to-use solutions
Many visitors used the trade fair not just for information purposes, but also came to our booth with a specific need. Thanks to our long-term planned vehicle fleet, we were also able to directly address many of the specific inquiries on site. With our portfolio, we are able to offer a solution to almost all users and transporters of the machines presented at BAUMA. Tandem trailers and ballast semi-trailers from our own brand attracted just as much interest as the impressive 1 + 3 GigaMAX combination from Faymonville. Of particular interest to crane operators: our ballast sami-trailers. What was striking on site was the great interest in our particularly short ballast semi-trailer with three rigid axles, which weighs only approximately 5,150 kg when empty.
Crane vehicles designed from scratch
We’ve made it our mission to be a full-service provider in the heavy-duty sector. Therefore, our booth also included custom-built crane vehicles. A Mercedes-Benz truck with a loading crane from MKG was completed just in time for the trade fair. The crane vehicle is based on an Actros 2546 6×2, with a HLK 531HP a7 loading crane installed at the rear. The loading crane features a hydraulic seven-fold extension with a maximum extended reach of approximately 18.65 m. MAN supplied the basis for the second crane vehicle at the booth at BAUMA 2025.
Long-term expansion in the crane vehicle sector
The tractor unit, designated TGX 33.450 6×4, was equipped with an F545RA.2.26 xe-dynamic crane. The “highway version” is particularly noteworthy. This feature allows the crane vehicle to operate in an automatically controlled and electronically regulated area, even with the outriggers extended only on the right side. ES-GE has been working with both FASSI and MKG for many years and regularly configures crane vehicles for customers or for its own rental fleet. In the future, crane superstructures will be implemented on behalf of ES-GE using Palfinger cranes. The release for this was recently carried out.
