"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.com  Our 2010 product catalogue is also available for browsing and downloading at: http://bit.ly/c88vIc "

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.

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).
