"Right then you lot! I want a good clean heavy haulage movement. No cock-ups, smartly done and appearing on Biglorryblog too! Now fall-out and jump to it!" Yes Jeff Lee at the heavy haulage equipment specialists Tiandi heavy Industries in China makes a most welcome return to BLB, not least to tell me: "Hi Brian, here's another transformer move inSouthern China done by the same client using 2 x Actros 8x8 with a 12x4 TIANDI TJV4 multi-axle trailers. The 1000MW transformer weighed 542-tons (LxWxH, 10.5mx3.86mx5.5m), which is the biggest transformer that has ever been transported and used in China!" Now click through here for more from Jeff and Tiandi.
Here you see it being loaded and Jeff explains: "The TJV4 12x4 trailer's maximum loading capacity is 696-tons. with 20m length and 6.22m width. Two sets of load distribution beam systems were installed to distribute the 542-ton weight balance safely on to the trailer platform and to avoid any point overload during transportation."
And here it is on the move with an Actros 8x8 at both ends...
A big load Jeff!
