DUMP TRUCK TRANSPORT

Special Cargo Transportation

Project Overview

Over 6-meters high monster trucks loaded on car carrier

Monster trucks over 6 meters high, 13 meters long, with a cargo capacity of 150 tons each were transported from the Port of Hitachinaka in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, to Brisbane, Australia.
These gigantic trucks could not be loaded as they are from the cargo hold entrance, and a special method was required.

Key Points of this Project

We shipped gigantic trucks over 6 meters tall from Ibaraki Prefecture to Australia.
The vehicles did not fit through the car carrier's loading door due to their immense size, so it was necessary to devise a way to transport them.
In order to overcome the height limitation of the car carrier's loading door, the vehicles were disassembled and loaded on to very large carts.
We were able to safely load the cargo cars by towing each loaded cart with a large towing vehicle.

Steering Around Height Restrictions

A completed truck is taller than the cargo hold height and could not be loaded as is. We disassembled each truck and loaded the sections on an extra large trailer to overcome this restriction. The trailer was towed by a large tow truck and loaded to the carrier .

Transport by Towing

Non-self propelling cargo can be transported on a car carrier by loading it on an extra-large trailer. As long as the center of gravity of the cargo can be stabilized, its size (length/width) can exceed that of the trailer. Please inquire for more details.
