Winner of ESTA Award 2024 SPMT category
Transport of 2 huge bullets
This ESTA award crowns a project of enormous proportions. In the truest sense of the word, as two huge steel storage tanks (bullets) were transported through the Limburg village of Urmond to the Chemelot site in Geleen. The giants were 53 metres long, 8 metres wide, 8.5 metres high and weighed 460 tonnes each.
The transport experts at Wagenborg Nedlift managed to transport the bullets from the quay in Urmond to the Chemelot industrial complex in Geleen on a dolly combination of 2 x 20 axle line SPMTs. A distance of only 3 kilometres, but right across the A2, the busiest motorway in the Netherlands.
