TWC's transport team had an opportunity to transport three Gantry Crane Girder on the west side of Singapore on the last day of June. Measuring 31m (L) x 3m (W) x 2.5m (H) and weighing 10T each, two of our Prime Movers equipped with the MultiMax semi low loader were deployed for this heavy haulage transportation project.

Our client initially chose to load all three Girders on one Self-Propelled Transporter (SPT) for this project. However, after assessing the risks, dimensions, and nature of the load, we suggested using the extendable loaders for the three Girders' transportation. The team advised distributing two Girders to one loader, and the other carrying one.

Even though the cost was a tad higher than having an SPMT to transport all the Girders in one go, the client eventually accepted our proposal as both parties agreed that safety was the most vital objective in the execution of the transportation project.

The transport team had to plan the vehicle's precise movements, ensuring the turning radius is big enough for the loaders to turn out from the loading site and turning into the unloading site.

The whole transport operation was executed in the night as traffic during the planned routes was lighter. As the Girders were more than 3m in length, Auxiliary Police escorts were deployed alongside the trailers to ensure the safety of road users and control the movement of the trailers.

It was a well-coordinated transportation project, and a job well done by our transportation team!
