SPECIALISED TRANSPORT Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
is particularly well-suited to intralogistics applications, the company says. The system uses Cometto‘s pendulum suspension with integrated safety valve. “It is based on the design of Cometto‘s MSPE series, which can look back on decades of experience and thousands of jobs, says Adrian Zingan, product manager at Cometto. “It also provides greater ground clearance.” The compact design has been
further facilitated by integrating the powerpack under the loading platform, and the SPMT has a basic width of 2,350mm. “The Eco500 guarantees full functionality even at a low driving height of 670mm,” says Zingan. “The electronic multi-mode steering makes the self-propelled vehicle extremely agile, even in the tightest of spaces. And the robust and particularly strong chassis enables flexible load distribution.” The module is available with
two or four axle lines, both variants being extendable by up to two joker axles while maintaining the same wheelbase. Several Eco500s
can also be combined together in a side-by-side, back-to-back or open combination. The Eco500 is available in
electric, hybrid or diesel-powered versions. For flexibility and future- proofing the software used in the powerpacks is fully compatible with all vehicle generations, says Cometto.
The SPMT also includes an integrated Telemakhos remote diagnosis system, plus MAXProtect+ surface treatment for corrosion protection.
SALES AND SERVICE Also with looking to expand is Heilbronn, Germany- headquartered specialised transport equipment manufacturer TII Group which, since the start of this year, appointed South American crane sales specialist Trex as its dedicated distributor and servicing agent for its TII Scheuerle brand in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. TII Scheuerle says the
collaboration opens up the heavy and oversized transportation market for Trex whilst it benefits
from the growing demand for specialised vehicles in Latin America. “The collaboration with TII Scheuerle offers us the opportunity to open up the market for modular transport solutions especially when it comes to dealing with oversized loads,” says Gonzalo Salazar Arenas, central business manager Trex LATAM. “The quality of TII Scheuerle’s products gives us the certainty that our product range meets market requirements and furthermore create added value in the market.” “Trex has the special know-how
in the area of hydraulic systems which is essential for carrying out service and maintenance on Tii Scheuerle’s transport solutions,” adds Maximilian Seer, the TII Group area sales manager responsible for the region. TII Group has also reported
demand for its EuroCompact low- bed semi-trailers. Among recent orders was one for two models by Dortmund, Germany-based heavy-load logistics provider August Alborn. The order was for a two- and three-axle vehicle with payloads of up to 36 and 48 tonnes
MOVING PLANES: SARENS EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTS AIRBUS A321 IN UZBEKISTAN
Sarens rented out a Shacman truck and a Faymonville four-axle trailer to a client in Uzbekistan to move an A321 Airbus aircraft.
The equipment was
used over a period of four days. Sarens determined the best transportation and the loading was then carried out by the client. Calculations for axle loads
were also conducted. The plane’s fuselage
weighed 15.7 tonnes. The final height of the transport vehicle was 5.85 metres and the diameter 4.6 metres, while the total length of the convoy measured 42 metres.
