"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!
He goes on to tell me: "Here are also some shots of our recent SPT(+/-55° steering)/SPMT(+/-90° steering) powered trailers for you." And you can see them in action above and below.
Meanwhile, Jeff signs off by saying: "If anyone is interesting in finding out more about our trailers, feel free to contact us at: tiandihi@gmail.comOur 2010 product catalogue is also available for browsing and downloading at: http://bit.ly/c88vIc "
The name of this project is: The construction of No.2 contract in the project of Tianjin Metro line 2, constructed by The fifth construction corporation of ChinaCoal.
The Project begins form West YanAn road station to West JieYuan road station. Time limit for the project is from March 2010 to October 2010.
TIANDI has two EPB TBM been operating in this project. Up until now the First machine have finished 613 segment rings, second one have finished 508 segment rings.
Geological conditions:
The area along the Tianjin Metro line 2 is alluvial plain, which all covered by Cenozoic sediments, most condition is Continental deposit.
Affected by the transgression and regression in Late Quaternary Period, sedimentary layer have been formed on the mutual area of ocean and land.
The thickness and position of sedimentary layer are different along the Metro line, but obvious regularity for cause of formation can be found.
Jeff Lee who works for Tiandi Heavy Industries in China, the manufacturers of fine modular heavy haulage trailers has sent me these shots of Chinese heavy haulage movements, including this monster one through an underpass! Up front is a rather nice Actros Titan 8x8. Anyway Jeff says: "Brian, here are phtographs of 3 new heavy transport moveemnts from our client in South China with our TIANDI hydraulic trailers and some Mercedes Actros heavy-duty prime movers. The biggest one is a super large 420-tonne reactor transported by 18x4 side-by-side combined TIANDI trailers." Now click through here for more..
A big old lump to get around the corner Jeff! Even with a nice wide road....
This looks to have an MAN at the back..unless it's a Chinese prime mover? And I guess these are the combiend side-by-side trailers...
Now here's something you don't see everyday...a heavy haulage movement hauled by a Chinese heavy hauler. And for a pie who can tell me what the truck is. meanwhile Biglorryblog is most grateful to Jeff Lee at Tiandi Heavy Industries, the special types trailer maker, who has supplied the shots....now click through here for more (and as usual they are in 'Expando-Vision)
This one shows a load test takign place at the Tiandi factory..Tiandi make all sorts of special trailers from giant beam units to modular platforms...
And here's a Volvo hauling an 18 axle set modular unit from Tiandi with a vessel for the Chinese nuclear industry....
And don't run away with the idea that Tiandi kit is only used in China..it pops up all over the place..this 14-line modular low loader is in bahrain..and how about that classic Bulldog up front?
And this 12-line unit is working in India...
And to finish here's a 6+6 turntable arrangement again in Bahrain..thanks Jeff.
December 19th, 2009. TIANDI HEAVY INDUSTRIES has just lauched the first EPB Shield Machine - "TIANDI No. 1" (cooperated with MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES) in THI's new Wuhan JIANGXIA production base. This is a remarkable day for all people from THI.
"TIANDI No. 1" - EPB Shield Machine is ordered by ChinaCoal Corp., will be used on the new metro project of TIANJIN CITY. Its main body has an 6.4m diameter cutter head, with 6 different function carriages follow with, total length over 60ms. Main parts and technology is supported by MHI.
With the support of MHI, THI is able to supply customer with integrated world class Shield machine product & service with design, assembly, operation and after sales services.
THI will manufacture full face excavation shield machines not only just for Metro projects, but also for railway tunnel, Cross river tunnel, oil/gas/water and civil tunnel engineerings.
"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.
------------------>
August, 2009 Sudan
Machine: 2x10lines TIANDI TJV1-k type Hydraulic modular trailer
Mission: 5 units of 150t MAN Diesel Engines from Port Sudan to Atbara!
Distance: 500km
Condiction: Wide temperature range(23-50C), Wide humidity range(15%-85%), Sea port, winding & high gradient of Hill area, Desert, Sand Storm, Rain Storm, Offroad, Soft clay base, etc.
THI-FLJs after sales team arrived Sudan at August, 2009 for two new 10 lines TIANDI TJV1-k (3400mm wide) type Hydraulic Modular Trailers reassembling, commissioning, and first operation.
After a one week reassembling, commissioning and training under the temperature of 45-50C in Port Sudan, the whole transport team with THI-FLJ After sales team are all ready. Two TIANDI modular trailers are ready for their first heavy transport mission in Sudan.
Today FLJ will present you a full follow-up report for the two 10 axle lines TJV1-k type HMT on the tough journey!
Loading!
10% Gradient of up and down in the Agaba Hill of Red sea hills.
The next day morning after a terrible sand storm and rain storm for a whole night in the desert.
30km Off-road and soft clay base
Arrive to the new 2 billion USD Cement factory project.
These two 10lines TIANDI hydraulic modular trailer have successfully finished their first mission in Sudan with perfect performance, which makes THI proceed with more confidence on providing more reliable heavy transport vehicles to all our clients around the world.
