SWTrans completed a transportation for Power Station (TEC) – 9. Apart from what was transported an attention ought to be driven to turbines. Even one unit weighs as 3 rail wagons. Geography of departures (as the equipment was moved from Volgodonsk, Kolmna and Podolsk) was a critical factor for logistics.
Apart from arranging the logistic scheme, a specialized machinery was used, for transportation of non-standard cargoes. From the varieties that were on-hand, we have chosen an optimum set to move the equipment which totaled to 1644 tons. We have used a combination-sets of Renault(Premium+Kerax) heavy tractors with Stokota, Broshius and Kogel trailers for bulky cargoes, and MAN-TGA sets with Noteboom trailers for heavy lifts.
The right choice of a combination-set is a result of professional engineering process, and a lot of brain-work. Tractor and trailer has to go absolutely well one with another (a lot of parameters have to be respected), not to forget that each grade of cargo uses an absolutely different trailer. The route was secured by escort vehicles and road police.
