Outsize tanks
In September 2008, the company Nurminen Logistics has received a non-standard order for transportation. It was necessary to carry the four storage tanks for petroleum products and a port crane at the port. The route was not more than one kilometer to the shore in Vihreyasaari near Oulu (Finlyadniya). Given the 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 objectives of their movement, but if the customer says "go," the key is to start. Inside I'll tell you how it all happened.

So more September 8, 2008 Nurminen started the transportation of this project, the first thing went capacity. Each tank was identical to the other. A size of each was much more impressive than the standard notions of containers are transported by road. Each of the four was 26,500 mm in diameter and 14,000 mm in height and weight of 180,000 kg.
Loading occurred jacks, considering the weight of the load and the diameter of the barrel, particular difficulties were connected with the correct symmetric loading, because once used two parallel module. As you can see in the photo the road was not paved, so somewhere undermine somewhere jacking, 180 tons lifted to the desired height, and to in turn drove reversing two coupling
The modules themselves are the company Goldhofer air suspension that allows them to be raised and lowered by about 150 mm. Accordingly drove under tsistrenu mechanics pumped air system and modules up to the level of the tank and took the load on the jack. Goldhofer THP modules have a maximum load of 16 tons per axle line, these axes 16 and used the so-called baggerbett - the usual standard floor width 2750 mm, 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 at the Volvo 610 hp and 550 from the bench. GCW was more than 250 tons, so even if it is technically possible to carry the load on one module, a tractor-trailer would not stretched. This combination is very important symmetric operation of both tractors and a similar range of power and traction motors.
And away. Although there is no wait but the process of loading and transportation, was a long preparatory period of 2 months, when the specialists on the basis of drawings and geodetic maps studied and built the road route. In the photo, you can guess that the stretch of road looks very fresh. It expanded at maneuvering of such goods, and that was not enough, 500 meters of the total of the route had to be rebuilt
Movements led by Sauli Lomakka coordinator and his team. By using the radio he passed the required speed drivers and controlled minimum distance between the couplers. Behind the modules was another man helped the taxi and with the help of 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 of the module controlled from the remote control, it was impossible to go fast. Carriage kilometer long gone for about an hour. Also Pekka Seppo and lead your curious eyes and 20 years of experience in oversized transportation 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 it was delivered harbor cranes, but that's another story. The material was prepared according to the company Nurminen Logistics, author photo - Valtteri Korpinen.
