SCHEUERLE has delivered a ship section transporter with an 800-ton payload to Tongyoung, South Korea.

The yellow-painted colossus started its journey at Germany’s SCHEUERLE Fahrzeugfabrik production facility in Pfedelbach.

At about eight meters wide and 30 meters long, ship section transporter required precision to move it along the route to the harbor.

The transporter is to be used at Sungdong Group’s shipyard in the South Korean coastal city of Tongyoung.

Equipped with 26 axles, it is able to move large ship segments around the yard, positioning them for final assembly or move them between different production facilities on the site.

The transporter is fitted with monitoring and warning systems to check its center of gravity, load and inclination.

The services of SCHEUERLE, NICOLAS and KAMAG – the three companies in the TII Group – were all utilized in the move.

The TII Group supplies a range of industries with a pulled and self-propelled vehicles, and has expertise in the development and production of vehicles with hydraulically driven pendulum axles.
