465 tonnes through the centre of Geertruidenberg

Monday 17 February 2025
If you were in the centre of Geertruidenberg last Saturday, you could see a spectacular transport passing through the streets: a giant transformer on its way to its destination.

This transport with a total weight of 465 tonnes moved through the city – on no less than 80 wheels and with a transport height of 8 metres!

3.5 hours of manoeuvring

We left from the quay at 08:00, with the final destination being De Peuzelaar substation. Thanks to tight planning and a few adjustments, everything went smoothly. After 3.5 hours of manoeuvring through the streets, the transformer successfully arrived at its destination!
