Special Cargo Transportation

With extensive experience in handling ultra-large cargo for power plant projects, primarily in domestic transportation and across Asia, Utoc delivers reliable heavy cargo solutions. By combining multiple transportation modes with our own specialized equipment, we execute the entire process—from transportation through on-site installation.
 
✓ Heavy cargo handling for domestic transportation and transportation across Asia
✓  Inland transportation and installation of ultra-heavy and long cargo
✓  Ownership of specialized equipment, including Super Carrier and Super Table Lift

By fully leveraging the capabilities of Pure Car Carriers (PCCs), we provide safe and reliable ocean transportation for self-propelled heavy cargo such as construction machinery and large vehicles. 

✓  Ocean transportation solutions using one of the world’s largest PCC fleets  

✓  Transportation of a wide range of cargo, including new and used construction machinery, large buses, and crane trucks

✓  Transportation of non-self-propelled cargo—such as dismantled large dump trucks, boats, sailboats, and industrial machinery—using specialized trailers (MAFI trailers)

MOL Drybulk operates approximately 30 multipurpose vessels of 13,000 DWT and 17,500 DWT, equipped with cranes capable of lifting cargoes from 60 to 150 tons.
Services are mainly provided in waters ranging from Far East Asia—including Japan, the Republic of Korea, and China—to the Middle East.

In response to the diversification of project cargo shipment bases, MOL Drybulk also actively engages in cross-trade (three-country transportation).

MOL Drybulk will undertake the transportation of foundation structures and related components for domestic offshore wind power generation using newly built coastal module vessels scheduled to enter service in 2026. These vessels are also capable of transporting large-scale and heavy cargo that is difficult to carry on conventional general cargo vessels.

 MOL Group have several modular trailers with three to five axes, allowing any combination of number of axes.
With a load capacity of 45 ton/axis, the number of axes and rows is determined according to loading considerations (risk of falling and stability), depending on cargo weight, size and the location of the center of gravity.
We also perform a trajectory analysis by reviewing interference with obstacles along the transportation route. Wheels have 360-degree turning capability. Translation movement and rotation of the entire vehicle without shifting the center position are also possible, allowing the vehicle to operate through narrow turns. The hydraulic suspension has a stroke of ±350 mm, which enables maintaining the horizontal position of the load while transporting it on a slope or on rough terrain within the stroke amount. 

By fully leveraging this capability, Utoc successfully completed the bulk removal of a concrete road bridge spanning an expressway using Super Carrier during the Joshinetsu Expressway–Yomogihira construction project. The precise yet dynamic movement of such massive structures is a hallmark of operations made possible by Super Carrier. We invite you to watch the time-lapse video documenting the actual removal work.

 Super Table Lift boasts one of our largest hoisting capacities with 300 tons at maximum. Its horizontal load bearing capacity is 20% of its vertical load bearing capacity.
Each of the Super Table Lift's four double-acting jacks can provide stable hoisting action even with different loads for different jacks. They can also be coordinated with a central controller. When used to build a bridge, the bridge is loaded and transported on the Super Carrier at a low position, and jacked up to the target height to install and adjust the bridge. 

Please take a look at the time-lapse video of the large-scale installation work carried out in Otaru City, Hokkaido.

The Super Lift's maximum lifting capacity is 702 tons for a one-gantry type and 1,404 tons for a two-gantry type, with a maximum stroke of 7.8 meters. These configurable gantry cranes are capable of loading, unloading, and installing heavy cargo.
