TIANDI lauches new hydraulic modular trailer

51.Chinese Leading Special Heavy Transport Vehicles Manufacturer - TIANDI Group (THI) and it's sub co. FLJ have just launched it's new TJV2 hydraulic moduar trailer which is also knowed as multi axle trailer. This trailer is the new upgrade version from TIANDI's regular TJV1 2990mm width modular trailer.



By remaining the great loading capacity (22.5ton @ 18km/h) as those previous models, TJV2's main upgrade features are as follows:
Smaller turning radius: The TJV2 trailer's first wheel steering angle has been upgraded from +/-50 degrees to +/-55 degrees.
Better passing through capacity: Platfrom height from 1080 +290/-310mm changed to 1080 +/-325mm, which makes the trailer has even better passing through capacity on rough road.
Easy connection: The pipe connecting system is moved to both side of the trailer, which is easier for piping line connection during module combination. Fast connectors helps to increase work efficiency and safty.

the one follow is TIANDI's regular TJV1 Hydraulic Modular trailer


(According to customer requirement, TJV1 can be adjust to combine with Nicolas MDE type and TJV2 can be adjust to couple with Nicolas MDED type from Europe.)

SCHEUERLE SPMT been tested before delivery for Australia Mining Company

SCHEUERLE transporters for handling 700 tons strip mining excavators
Reported by Transportweekly 22.12.2008 (Pictures from BigLorryBlog)

SCHEUERLE received an order from the company Griffin Coal Mining in Perth, West Australia, to deliver heavy duty transport vehicles for transportation of huge excavators and dumpers, which are used in the coal mining industry. The machines, weighing up to 700 tons, put very special demands on the transporters. After about one year of development and construction the self-propelled transport system, which is based on the successful SCHEUERLE InterCombi series, has now been tested extensively before delivery.

Griffin Coal Mine is one of the biggest strip mining companies in Australia. Approx. 200 kilometres south-eastern of Perth, about 3 million tons of coal is mined annually. Already during the beginning of the Australian industrialisation, the Griffin Coal Mine played an important role by supplying to the national railway company. By now Griffin Coal Mine Company is one of the major subcontractors of the West-Australian energy sector, that operates several energy producing power plants with coal from the so-called „Colli Basins“.
If additional coal fields are to be made accessible to secure future energy supplies, massive excavators and dumpers also have to be relocated to this new site. However, a strip mining excavator, which can weigh up to 700 tons, is not designed for covering long distances. For this reason Griffin Coal Mine Company placed an order with SCHEUERLE to develop a powerful transport system.

This system is based on the successful SCHEUERLE heavy duty transport vehicles of the “InterCombi” series. Four 6-axle modules and two 2-axle modules can be coupled with one another depending on the load. 20 of a total of 56 pendulum axles possess a hydrostatic drive. To assure the traction drive, these axles are charged with pressure oil by two Power-Pack Units (PPUs). Also fed by the Power-Pack Units are the steering cylinder and the axle compensation cylinder, which position the vehicle platform for loading and unloading accordingly and ensure the necessary axle compensation while driving at ground unevenness. The transport combination is controlled by a radio remote control unit. Via joy-stick all important functions like forward and backward gear as well as the steering can be handled. If the transport of a huge excavator is operated, the vehicle combinations can be coupled side-by-side with 14 axle lines each and connected with distance bearings. The combination is lowered at rear and raised at front: A drive-up bevel is formed, which enables the excavator to navigate onto the platform trailers from behind. The distance between the ground and the platform elevation at rear is bridged with drive-up wedges. When the excavator has reached its scheduled position, the transport system of Intercombi vehicles will be levelled back to drive elevation.With the hydrostatic-driven SCHEUERLE heavy duty transport combination, the West Australian customer Griffin Coal Mine Company receives a very flexible transport system, which enables an efficient, fast and reliable transport of heavy machines or ulterior equipments of strip mining companies.

Mammoet buys 650 modular trailer axle lines

Netherlands-based heavy lifting firm Mammoet has placed a huge order for 650 self-propelled modular trailer axle lines of SPMT from German manufacturers Scheuerle and Kamag.
The order, placed in 2007, includes some power packs. It will be delivered in 2008 and 2009, Mammoet said.
Mammoet will use the extra lines to expand the fleet, and is not planning to use them for any particular job.
It will receive 592 lines from Scheuerle and 50 from Kamag, said Bernd Schwengsbier, president of parent company Transporter Industry International sales. TII convinced Mammoet to switch 50 lines to Kamag because of production bottlenecks at Scheuerle.
He said that Scheuerle has a two-year waiting list for new SPMTs, despite having tripled capacity to more than 1,200 lines per year.
Fabricators can save money by assembling larger and larger units. Last year, Sarens' Norwegian subsidiary Transrig assembled 452 SPMT axle lines to lift a single 10,000t offshore platform topsides.
