"Dear Editor of Biglorryblog," says Jeff Lee from the Shanghai Fulangjie company."I'm one of your fans for your fantastic blog and thanks for showing us so many big lorries with great stories and technology from around the world.I'm just back from Sudan last week after finishing a tough mission with 2x10lines of hydraulic-modular trailers which are produced by our group Tiandi Heavy Industries(THI)."
Jeff continues: "During this transport mission, the fleet had to pass through the coastal region of the Red Sea hills area - mainly desert (with lots of bad sand and rain storms!) and difficult off-road conditions. I've taken some pictures during my work and think this Africa heavy haulage story may be interesting for you." To which BLB replies yer darn tootin Jeff! great stuff. And click through here to see just how 'demanding' the conditions were... And how you can see more of Jeff''s pictures...
Road... What road...? Jeff says the move was carried out using two 480hp MAN 6x6 prime mover, 2x10lines TIANDI TJV1-k type Hydraulic modular trailers. The contract called for the transportation of five 150-tonne MAN Diesel Engines from Port Sudan to Atbara over a distance:of 500km...
Sand everywhere andtemperatures from 23-50 degrees celsius! Wide humidity range too (15%-85%), And the conditions: "Sea port, winding & high gradient of hills area, Desert, Sand Storm, Rain Storm, Offroad, Soft clay base, etc" says Jeff.
.
And yet more sand! "You can also visit my company website says jeff at www.fulangjie.com or my personal blog at sinohi.blogspot.com and flickr: jefflee09. Regards, Jeff Lee."
I was dispatched last month to Sudan with our engineer for an after sales mission and following the first operation of 2 x 10 lines TIANDI TJV1-k type hydraulic modular trailer.
Following is my report in FLJ's offical website. More details will be posted in my blog later.
