SPMTs Transport Heavy LNG Load in China
It was the heaviest load ever transported in China on SPMTs: the first of a total of eight liquid natural gas (LNG) production modules was moved by SCHEUERLE SPMTs from Zhejiang Lida, COSCO and Sinotrans in COOEC Qingdao yard, China, to the oceangoing barge Finesse on 300 SPMT axle lines, under the operational direction of Mammoet. The heavy shipment will reach the Darwin Island in Australia. SCHEUERLE noted LNG is a business of the future and it is estimated that production will increase by more than 200 percent by 2020.
Massive LNG Absorber Shipped to Malaysia
Successful transport of 1,480t absorber for biggest LNG plant worldwide in Malaysia. 1,480 tons and a high center of gravity made the transport of an absorber from the Malysian Bintulu port to the Petronas LNG production site a challenging task. Due to the unprecedented tilting stability of the Scheuerle SPMT, the load was transported to the production site safely, despite difficult road conditions and turns. Limited ground resilience made the transport even trickier, a problem solved by side-by-side coupling of 2x24 axle lines of SPMT.
Roll-iT Reacts to Growing Demand
Roll-iT from Stabroek, Belgium is a co-partnership of Aertssen Kranen (Aertssen Group) and Ivens Transport & Kraanbedrijf (Ivens Group), two players in the construction, transport and crane rental sectors. The company said it has been steadily acquiring more SPMT axle lines since 2007, and business is continuing to boom. “Last week was the busiest week since our start with SPMTs. For three of the five days, we had 168 axles on the move, of which 104 where rented to various parties.
