Kübler Delivers SCHEUERLE ShipyardTransporters on InterCombi Axle Lines
Haulage specialists, Spedition Kübler, recently transported the first 2 vehicles from the plant in Pfedelbach to the Heilbronn inland port facility, in Germany. Centimeter by centimeter, the heavy load made its way through the narrow streets of Hohenlohe. Each of the 2 vehicle combinations, almost 40 m long in total, transported one SCHEUERLE ShipyardTransporter. For the transporter, there has never been a special transport assignment of this size that had only used country roads throughout. In some places along the route between Pfedelbach and the Heilbronn harbor things became extremely tight. Often, only a hand’s breadth separated the 2 colossal 151 t, 25 m-long, 1.9 m-high, transport from numerous house walls – on the main road through the town of Bitzfeld, the width between the houses is just 8.22 m. However, there was not much more space available along other parts of the route either. The Spedition Kübler team proved once again that they are the specialists for handling such tasks. The InterCombi axle lines are manufactured by TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for heavy transport on paved roads as well as off-road. The series consists of modular platform vehicles with a width of 3 m. They are flexible all-rounders that are suitable for handling a wide range of transports. Thanks to the low platform height and wide support base, even exceptionally wide loads such as ship section lift transporters or those with a high center of gravity such as extremely heavy construction machinery and mining equipment, wind power plant components, transformers or bridge elements can be safely and reliably transported. With a maximum steering angle of +/-60°, the InterCombi platform vehicles are maneuverable enough to transport the wide loads through tight bends as well as negotiating roundabouts and travelling through restricted spaces in town and village centers along the route. From the SCHEUERLE production plant in Pfedelbach, the convoy only proceeded on country roads as all highway bridges that had to be crossed could only take a lower load and transporting this weight on the highways is not possible. Traffic signs and traffic lights had to be temporarily removed while sections of a construction site were also moved out of the way for the convoy. Metal drive-over sheets and curbstone wedges protected green areas and curbs respectively. However, such measures are routine for the Kübler team. After 7.5 h, the transport arrived safely at the Heilbronn harbor facility. From Heilbronn, the barge continued on to the port of Antwerp where the 2 transporters were transferred to a seagoing vessel by the TII SCHEUERLE service team. Their final destination: South Korea. Each of these provides a payload of 800 t in order to move ship sections and other heavy shipbuilding components. Up to 6 of these giant vehicles can be coupled together to safely maneuver the larger ship sections with a total weight of up to 5,000 t. |

The SCHEUERLE InterCombi axle lines also contributed to ensuring the success of the assignment. Kübler used 18 of these along with one 4-axle tractor unit per ship section lift transporter in order to take the transporters the first 30 km on the long journey to the customer.
