Transportation of tanks (8 photos)
In September 2008, the company Nurminen Logistics was not quite a standard order for transportation. Required to carry four storage tanks of petroleum products and a harbor crane on the port. The route was not more than one kilometer to the shore in Vihreyasaari near Oulu (Finlyadniya). Given the existence of a closed area and the absence of barriers in the form of bridges and tunnels made transportation feasible. Rarely caught on so many oversized loads and tasks of their movement, but if the client says "go", the key to the start. Inside, I'll tell you how it all happened.
So more September 8, 2008 Nurminen to the shipment of this project, the first thing went capacity. Each tank was identical to the other. And the size of each was much more impressive than the standard notions of containers are transported by road. Each of the four had a diameter of 26 500 mm, height 14,000 mm and a mass of 180,000 kg.
Loading occurred jacks, considering the mass of the load and the diameter of the barrel, special lightness were connected with the right symmetric loading, because once used two parallel module. As seen in the photo the road was not paved, so somewhere undermine somewhere jacking, 180 tons lifted to the desired height and there in turn drove reversing two coupling
Goldhofer modules themselves firms have air suspension that allows them to be raised and lowered by approximately 150 mm. Accordingly drove under tsistrenu mechanics pumped air system and modules up to the level of the tank and took the goods themselves with the Rams. Goldhofer THP modules have a maximum load of 16 tons per line axis of the axes 16 and used the so-called baggerbett - the usual standard width of 2750 mm floor, but the load on the tank fell on the axis.
A few words about tractors. Worked Volvo FH16 6x4 and 6x4 Scania R144. Both new tractor, both are driven by two rear axles under the hood in a Volvo 610 hp and 550 in the bench. GCW was more than 250 tons, so even if it is technically possible to carry the goods on a single module, a tractor-trailer would not stretched. This combination is very important symmetric operation of both tractors and similar power and traction motors range.
And away. Although there is no wait, except for the process of loading and transportation, was a long preparatory period of 2 months, when the experts on the basis of drawings and geodetic maps studied and built a road route. Photo can guess that stretch of road looks very fresh. It expanded at maneuvering of such goods and that was not enough, 500 meters of the total route had to be rebuilt.
Movements led Sauli Lomakka coordinator and his team. By using the radio he passed the required speed drivers and supervised the minimum distance between couplers. Behind the modules was another man and helped to taxi using the remote control axes modules
Behind the wheel of the tandem drivers were Pekka Toivonen and Seppo Yulennyusmyaki. According to them the new road was so soft, and the minimum speed. Since the axis module controls with remote control, you go fast it was impossible. For the transportation of a kilometer long gone for about an hour. Seppo and Pekka also lead his inquisitive eyes and 20 years experience oversized transport, as the success of this transportation. "More important than the record in the area, delivery of cargo to destination in integrity" says Seppo.
In addition to 4 tanks was delivered harbor cranes, but that's another story. The material was prepared according to the company Nurminen Logistics, author photo - Valtteri Korpinen.
