NOVEMBER 2013
Heavy transport company
Nurminen Logistics in Finland
has been contracted to deliver
pieces of machinery to
Svetlogorsk, Belarus for a
pulp mill.
In total, more than 450
loads will be transported to
the Svetlogorsk project. The
transport logistics behind
the move is expected to cost
more than €2 million
(US$ 2.7 million). It will be
carried out for mechanical
engineering group Andritz.
Hannu Vuorinen, senior
vice president, special
transports and projects at
Nurminen Logistics, said,
“The selection of Nurminen
Logistics as the logistics partner
for the Svetlogorsk projects is
another testimony of our ability
to deliver demanding project
entities to our internationally
operating customers.
“Belarus is a familiar
operating area for us: we have
delivered large-scale special
transports there before via the
ports in the Baltic countries, for
instance. Efficient management
of the entire process from load
planning to reporting generates
both efficiency in deliveries
themselves and cost savings
for our customers as load
Transport company Van
der Vlist in Belgium, helped
transport two rare Caterpillar
machines from Belgium to the
Netherlands.
The rare R2900 Caterpillar
loaders had been shipped
from Melbourne, Australia to
Antwerp, Belgium. From there
Van der Vlist was set the task
of transporting the mining
machines to Terneuzen, in
the Netherlands.
For the transport move the
machines were loaded onto
5-axle semi low trailers on
3-axle Van der Vlist trucks.
The machines measured
11.75 metres long, 3.32 m wide
and 3 m high and weighed
57 tonnes each.
On arrival in Terneuzen the
rare cargo was taken to the port
and shipped to Pitea in Sweden,
where the machines will be
used for underground mining
and tunnelling.
RARE CATERPILLARS
ON THE MOVE
Manufacturer of specialized transport equipment Nooteboom in the
Netherlands, has launched a new semi-low loader trailer for moving
access platforms and similar machines.
The new 3-axle trailer is hydraulically steered and has a hydraulic
height-adjustable load floor for loading onto the gooseneck,
a company spokesperson said. The trailer has a steering angle of
45 degrees and has a Superwinch electric winch, with a radio remote
control unit.
In addition, it has a serrated and hot-dip galvanised steel grid on the
ramps, the load surface and floor.
The trailer was launched in September at the Matexpo 2013
show in Belgium.
NOOTEBOOM SEMI-LOW
LOADER FOR ACCESS
Manufacturer of specialised
trailers Faymonville, has
released the Telemax trailer
with pendel axles.
Now with pendel axles, the
Telemax has a 600 mm stroke
and a steering angle of up to
60 degrees. This helps increase
ground clearance compared
to the conventional model, a
company spokesperson said.
Arnold Luxen,
Faymonville sales director
said, “In order to minimise
(for vehicles with a desired
transport length up to 65
metres) any problems with
the authorisation procedure,
we now have a quadruple
extending bed trailer available
in our range.”
The Telemax is available
with rigid or hydraulically
liftable and lowerable front
parts and rear slide out-
extendable platforms.
“With the slide out rear
extension, we create on the
last extendable part of the
Telemax a significantly greater
flexibility for the placement
of the rotor blade and counter
technical traffic and geographic
constraints,” Luxen added.
Nurminen Logistics begins
transporting the pieces of
machinery to Belarus
sizes and consignments can be
optimised in the best possible
manner. The Svetlogorsk
project requires exactly the
type of special expertise in
which Nurminen Logistics is at
its best.”
Transports for the project
have already started and will
continue until the middle of
2014. Nurminen Logistics
is a member of the Cargo
Equipment Experts CEE
network in Finland.
