WIND Ӏ SPECIALISED TRANSPORT
supporting the offshore wind
energy sector there. This collaboration focuses on
the development of innovative logistics solutions for the transportation of large and complex components, such as turbines and blades, requiring specialised crane services and complex heavy lifting. It's no wonder, then, that
Sarens is expanding its SPMT fleet. At the end of October the TII Group announced a large axle line order of its Scheuerle K24 SPMT by Sarens. The latest order will, it says bring the total number of Scheuerle K24 SPMTs on its fleet to almost 2000. According to the TII Group,
Sarens has been using the K24 since 1985 when it bought its first module. This has been helped by the ability for older K24 models to be coupled with newer versions. The SPMT K24 is suitable for
the transport of rotor blades, wind
tower segments, nacelles, tripods, monopiles, and power plant modules moving payloads ranging from several hundred to several thousand tonnes, says TII Group Sarens uses its K24 SPMTs for
a broad spectrum of applications including transporting oil and gas platform modules, bridges, and other oversized and heavy components, in shipyards, construction, and mining sites; but it’s the wind sector that’s currently a key driver of work. For example, Scheuerle’s K24
SPMT are being used by Sarens in the construction of the Hai Long Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan where 73 wind turbines are currently being built. There, according to TII Group,
its SPMTs are handling a wide range of heavy components. The SPMTs also face additional challenges there, says TII Group, such as monsoon weather and seismic activity.
Mammoet will
move over 100 monopiles for wind turbines over the course of a year for two of Europe’s biggest offshore wind farm projects
MARSHALLING MONOPILES In November heavy transport specialist Mammoet inked a deal to move over 100 monopiles for wind turbines over the course of a year on site. The contract is with Buss Ports to marshal wind turbine generator foundations for two of Europe’s biggest offshore wind farm projects – RWE’s Nordseecluster A (Germany) and Thor (Denmark). The Nordseecluster, with a planned capacity of up to
FAYMONVILLE TO SET UP 'MADE IN AMERICA' PRODUCTION FACILITY IN ARKANSAS
Luxembourg-headquartered trailer manufacturer The Faymonville Group has announced plans to set up a USA-based production facility and has already selected a site in the port of Little Rock, Arkansas. Faymonville says a team in Luxembourg is currently working on
new products that it says will bring signifi cant added value to the US. market. In the fi rst phase, individual components will be manufactured in Little Rock, while preparations for in-house production are underway in phase two. Additionally, service and spare parts support for Cometto-branded
vehicles will be strengthened. “By early 2026 the production will be operational and the vehicles will proudly bear the 'Made in America' label, with the goal of long-term success in the US market,” said Faymonville managing director Alain Faymonville. “We proudly delivered our fi rst vehicle to the US in 2016,”
added Alexander Fickers, CEO of the Faymonville Group. “What we particularly value about the US market is its enormous potential, its practical, solution-driven mindset, and the much simpler administration compared to Europe.”
