The client needed to transport a massive 150-ton, Out-of-Gauge (OOG) crushing plant from a manufacturing facility in Germany to an extremely remote mining site deep in the Australian Outback. The sheer dimensions and weight of the equipment meant it could not travel on standard infrastructure. Bridges needed reinforcement, power lines required temporary removal, and local municipal permits across multiple jurisdictions were incredibly complex.
Our specialized Project Cargo division executed a comprehensive end-to-end engineering plan. We conducted physical route surveys spanning thousands of kilometers, utilizing 3D swept path analysis to guarantee structural clearances. We chartered a specialized heavy-lift RO-RO vessel for the ocean freight leg, and deployed multi-axle Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs) with dual prime movers for the final 800-kilometer overland journey into the outback.
The monolithic equipment was delivered to the remote site 4 days ahead of the critical project schedule, perfectly synchronized with the mine's construction timeline. The operation was executed with zero safety incidents and absolute adherence to all environmental and infrastructural regulations.
