The Hof, Bavaria-based crane services firm of Auto Klug has just added a new Tadano AC 4.070L-1 all terrain crane to its machinery fleet.

“One of the main reasons we opted for the AC 4.070L-1 is that it can carry a lot of counterweight. That makes it a highly versatile machine that can be used for a wide range of jobs,” explains Auto Klug managing director Christina Glück. For the same reason, Klug ordered the AC 4.070L-1 with the full 16.5-tonne complement of counterweight. Another deciding factor for Klug was that their fleet already includes several similar Tadano machines. The similarities make it easy for its operators to move between the different models. The new crane will mainly be used at the Bayreuth-Bindlach site, but is of course also available for use at the other facilities.

Mammoet Australia, a branch of the global leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport, has introduced Hands-Free Lifting across its operations to enhance workplace safety.

The implemented work practice aims to reduce the risk of hand and finger injuries during the handling of suspended loads and equipment under tension, ensuring safety and efficiency.

Traditionally, handling suspended loads or maneuvering items during release and pretensioning has involved significant manual intervention, posing risks to workers and potential for human error. Hands-Free Lifting, which includes the use of taglines and push-pull sticks of varying lengths and designs, directly addresses these challenges. It avoids direct contact with suspended loads while they are connected to lifting devices.

The push /pull sticks can be used to adjust the position and orientation of loads without the need for hands-on manipulation, keeping workers at a safe distance.

They also allow for taglines to be retrieved remotely, which is ideal to avoid walking into the drop zone. Their versatility in application and adaptability to various industries and lifting scenarios ensure a safer working environment.

The implementation of this work practice began in early 2023 at Mammoet’s yards and project sites in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Since then, it has become standard across all Mammoet Australia operations, underscoring the company’s commitment to safety.

The adoption of these practices allows employees to focus on essential tasks without compromising safety, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries and ultimately reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Ryan Binedell, SHEQ Manager at Mammoet Australia, commented: “It is our priority to advance the industry’s safe practices. While the use of hands-free lifting tools isn’t new to the industry, it’s often been seen as optional and utilized when convenient. Elimination and substitution are the most accessible and effective control measures in hazard management. So we aim to integrate hands-free lifting from the outset of any task where the use of hands can be avoided. By challenging the use of hands, we enhance planning and highlight SIMOPS risks, which we then mitigate through a planned approach to a lift and installation.”

Significant progress has been made at Hemisphere Freight Services’ landmark development in Suffolk, where cladding is already up, flooring poured and racking is in full flow.

Curzon De Vere Limited, the build partner for Hemisphere Freight Service’s cutting-edge multi-million-pound warehouse at Suffolk Port One Logistics Park, is advancing the construction of the 243,511 sq ft facility.

The warehouse facility, situated just 20 minutes away from the Port of Felixstowe, is part of East Anglia’s inaugural carbon-neutral logistics park.

“This significant step forward not only marks the realisation of our cutting-edge facility at Suffolk Port One Logistics Park but is also a testament to our unwavering commitment to reducing carbon in the supply chain.”
Positioned strategically along the A14, the main arterial route for the region, it connects the Port of Felixstowe and other East Coastal Ports to major onward routes via the A14, M25, and M1.

The new build will enable Hemisphere Freight Service to provide 35,536 racked pallet locations, which stack nine levels high for optimal fulfillment services.

These locations will be combined with an additional 8,000 bulk-loaded pallets on floors and mezzanines, perfect for VAS services such as kitting, barcoding, and quality control.

The warehouse will provide Hemisphere Freight Service with eight dock levellers, three of which are suitable for double-deck trailers. It will also have one 7.5-tonne hydraulic lift for cargo and people to access the mezzanines.

Alongside this, it will have 59 car parking spaces, EV charging for 12 vehicles and triple-story offices spanning 6,600 sq ft.

Port One Logistics Park also features industry-leading initiatives such as 80+ acres of roofing PV solar panels, which will supply the warehouse needs for high-speed car charging, office lighting and fork truck operation.

The team are also working hard to secure BRCGS, ORGANIC and TAPA FSR certifications for the site.

Racking is currently being installed, the 10,000 pallet spaces are due to be handed over in around a week’s time.

Louis Perrin, Director at Hemisphere, said: “We are pleased to see the progress on this important development – it’s truly exciting to see our vision taking shape.”

He continues: “We’re eager to embark on this journey and can’t wait to get the facility open. As a further celebration of our achievements, we plan to open our doors later in the summer for facility tours and various engaging activities, providing a firsthand look at the strides we’re making towards a sustainable future in logistics.”

Matt Slater from Curzon De Vere added: “It is exciting to see construction now taking shape at this site and we are proud to be working with Hemisphere Freight Service on this landmark project for them.”

The deal is the largest purchase by an independent company at the Port One development and responds to the need for efficient warehousing space nationally in a highly competitive and advancing industry.

Indian bridge construction specialist, S. P. Singla Constructions Pvt. Ltd., has procured SCHEUERLE SPMT PowerHoss 330 modules for manoeuvring 175 t prefabricated concrete elements on the construction site for the realisation of the new Mahatma Gandhi Bridge.

From its Bawal facility, TII India is providing support through a wide range of services whereby the expertise of the TII industry experts for on and off-road heavy transport tasks is also assisting the construction company’s vehicle operators during building operations.

The Mahatma Gandhi Bridge connects the metropolis of Patna on the southern bank of the Ganges River with the city of Hajipur on the northern side, and is one of the most important vehicle routes in the north-eastern Indian state of Bihar. However, the more than 40-year-old structure could no longer accommodate the high volume of traffic. As a result, the Indian Ministry of Transport commissioned S. P. Singla Constructions Pvt. Ltd. (SPSCPL) to build a four-lane, almost 5.6 kilometre long prestressed concrete bridge parallel to the existing structure.

The construction company not only uses modern technologies when building bridges but also relies on innovative transport solutions when it comes to transportation requirements. In order to transport the individual concrete segments for the new Mahatma Gandhi Bridge, each weighing around 175 tonnes, on the construction site, SPSCPL is using the SPMT PowerHoss 330 from the TII Group subsidiary, TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for on and off-road heavy-load transport solutions. Each of the self-propelled modular transporters has six axle lines which provides a load-bearing capacity of 330 tonnes. For safely transporting the prefabricated components to the so-called girder launcher, two module transporters are coupled side-by-side. A special bridge crane then positions the prefabricated parts in the designated area of the bridge.

Bauma exhibition vehicle awakened the interest of S.P. Singla Constructions owner
The decision in favour of the SCHEUERLE SPMT PowerHoss 330 was taken at the last bauma. At the show, the SPMT PowerHoss exhibition vehicle and its performance capabilities attracted the interest of the decision-makers at SPSCPL. After negotiations with the TII Group sales team, Rohit Singla, owner of SPSCPL, and Rajeev Kumar Singh, Managing Director of the Indian company, decided to buy the modules just one day later.

TII in India guarantees on-site customer support, service and spare parts supply
Under the umbrella of the TII Group, TII India, with its location and competent team in Bawal, is responsible for the service and spare parts supply for the SPMT PowerHoss as well as advising vehicle operators during use. Through TII India, the TII Group ensures the provision of on-site customer-oriented support using the know-how of an industry leader in the self-propelled modular transporter segment.

SPMT PowerHoss modules are extremely versatile and are used, among other things, in the construction and mining sectors, plant engineering, industry and shipyards. The areas of application include the transport of heavy prefabricated concrete components as well as the moving of steel structures, components used in on- and offshore wind turbines along with the transportation of large excavator and ship segments.

TII SCHEUERLE offers SPMT PowerHoss modules with two, four or six hydraulically supported pendulum axle lines. The two, four and six-axle versions accommodate payloads of up to 85, 180 or 330 tonnes per module respectively. In addition, individual SPMT PowerHoss modules can be easily coupled mechanically laterally and lengthwise using the plug-and-play principle or operated electronically in a loose coupling mode. This means they can also meet even higher payload requirements. Thus, a vehicle combination of four SPMT PowerHoss 330s is able to move loads with a unit weight of up to 1,320 tonnes.

Due to the PPU drive unit (Power Pack Unit) integrated into the transport platform, the SPMT PowerHoss can be used immediately whilst the operator only requires a very short instruction period.

Due to the compact module dimensions, the PowerHoss is also ideally suited for moving loads in tunnels, galleries and hall areas where space for manoeuvring is very limited. In addition, it can be operated on different surfaces, outdoors or in production halls – regardless whether the road surface is made of gravel, asphalt, concrete or similar materials.

SPMT PowerHoss transport modules are based on SPMT series technology which has been tried and tested over decades and thus provides the advantages of conventional SPMT transporters. This includes the robust construction design, hydrostatic drive as well as the electronic multi-directional steering system complete with all known steering programs which facilitates highly precise navigation.

As part of its sustainability strategy, Rhenus Office Systems has expanded its vehicle fleet by seven e-trucks.

From now on, the new e-trucks will be part of the sustainable file transportation solution, which the document management and office solutions provider will then properly dispose of. The deployment of the e-trucks is initially planned within Germany. The trucks have already arrived at the Rhenus Data Office sites and are now entering regular operation.

Rhenus Office Systems expands its vehicle fleet with e-trucksRhenus Office Systems expands its vehicle fleet with e-trucks
SUSTAINABILITY ON THE ROAD

The e-trucks were developed by the technology company Quantron based on the IVECO Daily platform. They are characterized by their approximate 200 to 220 km range and 2.5 metric ton payload. The trucks save up to 45 kg of CO₂ per 100 km compared to a combustion model of the same size and load class, depending on the load and route profile. According to the manufacturer, extrapolated to a year of use, this implies savings of approximately 22 metric tons. All vehicles can be supplied at both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) charging stations. In addition, the e-trucks feature the typical box body with an integrated loading board wall for Rhenus document trucks. It can be raised and lowered to unload heavy loads at ground level, simplifying the unloading process of the sometimes several hundreds of kilograms of heavy data barrels. With the help of these security containers, the paper to be destroyed is collected from customers and then transported to the destruction site by Rhenus.

Michael Wiegmann, managing director of Rhenus Data Office, expressed his satisfaction with the acquisition of the trucks: “Our goal is to gradually convert our vehicle fleet and thus contribute to reducing emissions during our tours.”

Gradually, more carbon-neutral vehicles will be integrated into the Rhenus Office Systems vehicle fleet. Rhenus Archiv Services, also part of Rhenus Office Systems, already has ten electric delivery vehicles in operation.

The increased use of alternative propulsion technologies supports Rhenus Office Systems’ ongoing goal of reducing CO₂ emissions. Employees are also taught to operate the vehicles using eco-friendly driving techniques to minimize the environmental impact.

In April it was announced that the Viking Link Project, a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link between the UK and Denmark, had been officially launched.

Following a total investment of £1.8 billion, Viking Link is the first connection between the UK and Danish transmission systems.

According to National Grid, at over 760km, it is currently the world’s longest land and subsea interconnector. It runs from the Bicker Fen substation in Lincolnshire to the Revsing substation in Jutland and has a total capacity of 1.4GW.

At Bertling Logistics they are particularly proud to have contributed to the success of the project by delivering 7 x 225 tonne transformers from Rotterdam via the Port of Esbjerg to the project site in Vejen, Denmark. The accessories came from all over Europe and were also transported directly to the project site.

The transformers measured 7.50 x 4.64 x 5.00m and had to be assembled on site in front of the transformer bay before being jacked and skidded onto the foundation.

The Viking Link is expected to power 2.5 million homes in the UK while avoiding 600,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year – a prestigious project truly made for the future.

Using a total of 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines, heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli Inc., based in Manvel, Texas (USA), transported an offshore wind turbine installation vessel weighing more than 23,000 tonnes from the port facilities onto three barges from where it was subsequently launched into the water.

In the process, Fagioli set three world records: for the largest number of axle lines under one load, the heaviest weight moved by SPMT axle lines and the heaviest load on wheels transferred onto barges.

Since the introduction of TII SCHEUERLE’s SPMT technology more than 40 years ago, customers of TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for heavy load transport solutions for both on and off-road assignments and a TII Group subsidiary, have repeatedly set new world records with the self-propelled modular transporters. Now, the US heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli has raised the bar once again and has improved on the previous record by almost 3,000 tonnes. Positioned on 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines and using the thrust of 28 PPUs (Power Pack Units), the heavy-load expert transported the 23,163 tonne special ship “Charybdis”, a so-called Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV), from the shipyard onto the water. This is the heaviest weight ever transported on land on wheels. At the same time, the largest number of axle lines were used for transporting one single load.

On reaching the river bank, the vessel was transferred to three parallel positioned barges also by means of the 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines. With a total weight of 26,900 tonnes, this also marked a new world record: the heaviest barge load transported on wheels for boarding a ship. The WTIV was subsequently launched into the water.

Filippo Baldassari, Managing Director of TII Group, expressed his delight accordingly: “We at TII SCHEUERLE are immensely proud of the fact that our products have made such a milestone possible in the heavy-load industry. The new record not only proves the superb performance of our SPMTs but it also impressively demonstrates the tireless innovative strength and determination of our customers. Their successes are also our successes! We look forward to continuing to achieve new heights of performance together and shaping the future of heavy-load logistics.”

With this special transport, Fagioli and TII SCHEUERLE are also driving the energy transition. The WTIV plays a significant role in the construction of offshore wind turbines in the USA. The “Charybdis” is the first vessel of its kind to comply with the Jones Act requirements. This regulation stipulates that all transportation between American ports may only be provided by vessels that were built in the States and owned by US citizens who hold an appropriate transportation licence. This also applies to the transport of people and goods to offshore wind turbine facilities.

Fagioli has been successfully using SCHEUERLE SPMTs since the 1980s
WITVs transport components such as turbines and rotor blades to construction sites at sea. Among other things, they are equipped with large cranes for assembling the components. US energy company, Dominion Energy, had the “Charybdis” built in the Seatrium AmFELS shipyard in Texas.

The heavy-load logistics experts at Fagioli, headquartered in Italy, have been relying on SPMT axle lines from TII SCHEUERLE since the 1980s. The three new world records show once again just how powerful the SPMT modules from TII SCHEUERLE are and why TII SCHEUERLE is recognised as the world’s leading provider of heavy-duty transport solutions.

The idea of a 2,430 millimetre wide modular platform transporter which corresponded to container dimensions came about in 1983. This size ensures that the transport solution can be shipped to the most remote locations worldwide in the shortest possible time while simultaneously being as economical as possible while using a standard container (flat rack). The wide range of options for mechanically or electronically coupling SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines in a loose coupling mode therefore make theoretically unlimited payloads possible. One or more Power Pack Units (PPU), which can be coupled to the SCHEUERLE SPMT modules as required, generate the energy for the hydrostatic drive, steering system and lifting operations. The technical basis of the SCHEUERLE SPMT is provided by the hydraulically supported pendulum axle as well as the electronic multi-directional steering. SCHEUERLE SPMT modules are available with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 axle lines whereby modern types of tyres allow axle loads of up to 60 tonnes.

SPMTs from TII SCHEUERLE represent the largest number of SPMT axle lines available on the market worldwide. For this reason, the company has been repeatedly recognised as a world market leader by the renowned business magazine, WirtschaftsWoche. As a result, customers around the world can conveniently rent SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines or use cooperation partners with compatible modules to carry out super-heavy heavy transport assignments.

JSL Global, representing Qatar in the Project Logistics Alliance, has successfully delivered a telescopic suction pipe from Bahrain to Qatar.

The pipe, measuring 21 x 2.05 x 2.4 meters and weighing 10,614 KG, was transported as road freight through Saudi Arabia. This process meant that the cargo, with a volume of 103.32 m3, had to cross both the Bahraini-Saudi border and the Saudi-Qatari border.

The shipment was destined for one of Qatar’s prominent refinery companies. The transported material was essential for the operations of the plant. JSL Global operated within precise timelines as per the client’s special requests, emphasising adherence to the plan and meeting deadlines. Therefore, thorough pre-planning ensured that all requirements would be met. JSL Global’s thorough planning facilitated the arrangement of gate passes, cross-loading, escort services, and approvals.

The main challenges encountered during this shipment included securing a permit for the Bahrain Causeway and undergoing X-ray scanning of the cargo at the Saudi border. The latter posed difficulty due to the length of the cargo, resulting in redirection to Dammam Port for X-ray scanning.

For the cross-country part of the shipment, a 22-meter trailer was used, with an additional 22-meter long trailer employed for in-country transport to the client’s site. Offloading the pipe required the use of a crane with a spreader bar, and with collaboration of the client’s HSE team, the shipment reached its final destination successfully.

Through this delivery, JSL Global once again demonstrates its dedication to providing efficient services. Congratulations to the JSL Global team on their excellent work.
