A 98-tonne transformer is secured onto the hydraulic modular trailer.
Today we would like to share a transport mission with you. That is about a client who bought our New model-G2 trailer for hauling a 98-ton transformer.
The journey took over two nights and covered an impressive 1800 kilometers, culminating as the destination loomed on the horizon. The equipment involved was a robust 4+5 module combination, stretching 32 meters in length and weighing a total of 150 tonnes.
Navigating Through Challenges
Our client has twenty years of experience in this transport field. He’s calm and skilled, which helped him handle the transport task smoothly. As they neared the end of their route, he got ready for the last part of the journey, directing the escort vehicles and the hydraulic trailer. Knowing the road well, including a difficult roundabout and a low underpass, the brightly painted red and yellow convoy moved with precision. The trailer was low enough to just fit under obstacles.
Precision Unloading
When they arrived at the transformer station, the last step was to carefully move the trailer from the main road to the unloading spot. A mobile crane was already there, waiting. The crane team and the truck driver, Mr. Si, worked together perfectly. Mr. Si drove a Shacman 6×6 tractor and backed the trailer into the station expertly. The trailer’s advanced HIPOTURK G2 power steering system, which can turn the wheels up to 55 degrees, helped him fit the trailer into a tight space. After unhooking the chains and belts, the crane lifted the transformer and placed it just right, a few meters away from the trailer.
After setting the transformer down, the trailer went back to its original shape, ready for the next job. This operation proved how tough and reliable the HIPOTURK G2 is and showed how well our client’s team works together.
Looking Ahead
After the unloading, Mr. Si checked the trailer, adjusting the axles for driving without a load. This makes the trailer easier to move around and helps the tires last longer.
