Transport of a 240-Ton Transformer

1.388 / 5.000

Our planning included covering the route, approximately 90 kilometers in distance between the Motril basin and Caparacena, in 3 night stages with a Beam Team and one stage on a trailer.

Due to the height limitations of the first part of the route, ARBEGUI Transportes Especiales used a 32-axle Beam Team pulled by a Mercedes 8x6 tractor unit and two MAN heads, making a total of almost 2,000 hp of power and 9 drive axles. Also due to the heavy weight of the structure, in this first part of the route, it was necessary to install two sets of Jumping Beams on two bridges just a few meters apart.

In the second phase, which consisted of one stage, we encountered ramps of up to 12% gradient, for which one of its Hayes 800 HP 6x6 Tractors was added.

In addition, for the loading, transfer and unloading operations of the transformer at the Caparacena electrical substation, ARBEGUI used its new Self-propelled Hydraulic Gantry with a load capacity of 1,000 tons, incorporated at the end of 2023.
