SECTOR SPOTLIGHT Ӏ SPECIALISED TRANSPORT
NEWS IN BRIEF
trailer manufacturer Broshuis. The delivery includes two fixed and two extendable trailers, one of which is fitted with hydraulic ramps. These trailers are designed for the efficient transportation of crane components, ballast, machinery, and containers.
The RBTS comprises a towing vehicle
with a three- or four-axle semi-trailer, an adapter for the rotor blade mounting and a trailing unit with its own steering system.
The modular design allows flexible adaptation to accommodate different rotor blade types and transport requirements. The system provides a high lifting height and flexible steering
control of the trailing unit is possible. The turbine blades are being loaded at the Jade-Weser port facility in Wilhelmshaven. It took two nights for the first 99.5-metre-long heavy load combinations to cover the route to the wind park – which is a distance of around 160km. The route is challenging. With the
first deliveries, the trailing unit had to be lifted at a very wide angle in order to clear motorway guard rails and barriers. A roundabout needed to be dismantled and covered. The tractor unit and lifting adapter had to go through an underpass while the trailer was still manoeuvring on a roundabout. And on arrival at the wind park the RBTS had to reverse 800 metres along a narrow farm track. These challenges were all
successfully overcome. This, says Scheuerle, is testament to the strengths of the system. “With the RBTS we have a well- thought-out solution that gives our drivers flexibility while simultaneously protecting the sensitive rotor blades,” says Tino Hülsmeyer, truck fleet manager at Enercon Logistic.” “The enormous lifting height of the RBTS was crucial for this operation,” adds Markus Pflederer, sales manager at Tii Scheuerle. “Such situations are really no problem for our system.”
