Moving the truss

Wednesday 29 May 2024
We recently completed a transport operation for the expansion of a factory. A gigantic truss, 33.5 metres long, 5.5 metres high and weighing a whopping 60 tonnes, had to be moved.

As the door was too low to move the truss underneath, we positioned 2x 12 axle lines Scheuerle SPMT with powerpack after which we grabbed the truss between the 2x 12 axle lines.

The axle lines then moved the truss over a dragline bulkhead track to the 450-tonne telescopic crane and the crane accurately lifted the truss into place.
