Vessels and Equipment Owned by MOL Group

Various equipment is used in addition to ships when transporting and installing special heavy cargo.
Here we introduce some unique equipments, from those that flexibly accommodates a variety of cargo types to those that perform specialized tasks.

TRIUMPH Series: Heavy Cargo Ships

MOL Group introduced six multi-purpose vessels, the Triumph series, with a total crane capacity of 150 tons (78 tons x 2) in September 2013. These address the diversification of project cargo loading sites in Asia and the Middle East, and enable flexible and regular services in waters between the two areas.

Multi-Axis Modular Trailer: Super Carrier

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.

Hoisting Equipment: Super Table Lift

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.

Lifting Equipment: Super Lift

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.

New Product Development: MOL COILPORTER®

MOL COILPORTER® is our new securing system that secures steel coils for automobiles and other products when transported in containers. Our Group shared customers' requests with the development team, which resulted in this MOL COILPORTER® boasting ingenuity in the details. This has replaced conventional heavy carpentry work required by skilled workers with kits that can be assembled using light materials, enabling anyone to secure the steel coils easily and safely.
