German-Spanish cooperation for Hamburg Airport
To replace ageing passenger boarding bridges at Hamburg Airport, Spanish manufacturer ThyssenKrupp Airport Services S.L., which also operated a production facility in Kassel, was commissioned to manufacture the new equipment.
While new components were produced in Spain, specialists in Kassel refurbished parts of the existing boarding bridges. The restored components and new parts were then combined in Kassel, creating a resource-efficient passenger boarding bridge through German-Spanish cooperation.
“With a convoy length of 28 metres and limited space inside the production hall, precise preparation and an experienced driver were essential.”

Heavy haulage with a 28-metre convoy
The manufacturer selected Speedlog for the transport to Hamburg, having already involved the company in the preliminary planning stage.
At 28 metres long, 4 metres wide and 4.40 metres high, the convoy required particularly careful manoeuvring when leaving the restricted production hall in Kassel. The driver successfully navigated the limited space.
