Transformer Transport Platforms:
Weight Capacity: Up to 500-600+ tons
These platforms are crucial in the electrical power industry, particularly during the installation, maintenance, or replacement of large transformers.
Our network of operators ensure a smooth and efficient journey for large transformers with trucks fitted with hydraulic platform levelling, multi-axle configurations and extendable decks.
Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs):
These platforms are used in power generation projects, infrastructure development, and industries where large electrical equipment needs to be moved safely and securely over long distances.
They are designed for transporting heavy transformers, turbines, and other large industrial components that require careful handling.
Jinkers:
Weight Capacity: Varies widely, typically between 50-200 tons depending on configuration.
This type of vehicle or trailer is used for transporting large and heavy loads, often in sectors like construction, agriculture, and heavy industry. It’s designed to handle oversized or awkwardly shaped cargo including power poles or beams that conventional transport methods might struggle with.
Jinkers feature adjustable length to extend or retract based on the specific cargo, swing axle systems and hydraulic steering to ensure precise control over the trailer, even when navigating complex routes.
Permits, Route Planning and Escort Vehicles:
Due to their size and weight, transporting transformers and large industrial components requires meticulous planning which is part of the package at Best Rated Transport. Permits are often necessary, and routes are carefully chosen to avoid obstacles such as low bridges, narrow roads, or sharp turns.
Given the size and nature of the loads, escort vehicles are often required to guide the transport, manage traffic, and ensure safety throughout the journey.
