We transported two large NCA system elements from Sankt Paul im Lavanttal to Almussafes, Spain. The transports comprised one container with a length of 20.40 m and 50,000 kg and another with 21.00 m and 27,000 kg. The 1,969 km route led via Antwerp with transhipment of the elements by ferry to Bilbao. The length and width of the transports was a challenge for the whole team, which we successfully mastered thanks to excellent communication both internally and with our customer. 

We transported a press weighing over 200 tons from Barcelona to Hungary, divided into the press head weighing 72 tons, the press table weighing 63 tons and the press ram weighing 62 tons. 

The 2,227 km route was completed in September following an order in June. Due to the high weight and wide dimensions, obtaining approval for the transport on time was a particular challenge. Originally planned as a multimodal transport, we ultimately decided to choose the route via France. 

On behalf of our customer, we transported a large turbine from Alfena in Portugal to Ravensburg. With dimensions of 735 x 415 x 395 cm and a weight of 13,669 kg, this was a typical heavy transport, but required special planning due to the original width of 496 cm. The order was placed in June and delivery took place in October after a transport time of 15 days. 

We had the honor of transporting three giant Yankees from Tiszakecske in Hungary to Mimizan in France. This project, for which we were commissioned by our customer in Graz in spring 2023, set a world record: Yankees of this size had never been produced before, let alone transported. The width of 8.20 m in particular presented us with a challenge and required precise planning. We carried out the transport on the 2,191 km route via Dunavecse, Rotterdam and Bayonne multimodally and combined road and water transport for optimum efficiency.
