Heavy haulage around the world with Biglorryblog and Tiandi Heavy Industries!

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.

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.)

SPMT - Self Propelled Modular Transporter

A Self Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) is a platform vehicle with a large array of wheels on the bottom. They are used for transporting massive objects such as bridges, oil refining equipment, huge motors, large bridge sections, and other objects that are too big or heavy for trucks. These vehicle may also be called a Self Propelled Modular Trailer.

SPMTs are increasingly used in the construction and oil industries, and have been recently begun to be used to replace bridge spans, in the United States and Europe, and more recently, Canada.

A typical SPMT can have a grid of several dozen computer-controlled wheels, all individually controllable and steerable, in order to evenly distribute weight and steer accurately. Each individual wheel can swivel independently from other wheels, to allow the SPMT to turn, move sideways, or even spin in place. Some SPMTs allow each wheel to telescope independently of each other, so that the load can be kept flat and evenly distributed while moving over uneven terrain. As SPMTs often carry the world's heaviest loads on wheeled vehicles, they are very slow vehicles, often moving at under one mile per hour while fully loaded. Some SPMTs are controlled by a worker with a hand held control panel, while other SPMTs have a driver cabin. In addition, multiple SPMTs can be combined to transport massive building-sized objects.

SPMTs have also been featured on Discovery Channel during shows involving engineering.

Normal load/axle-line: 22.5tons or 32.5tons.
Drive type: Hydrostatics
Steering type: Normal linkage steering (first wheel max. steering angle 55-60degree) or independant steering (also called e-multi steering. all wheels +/- 115 to 135degree or even 360degree steering).
