Transport of 8 HPC bridge girders from Bautzen to Berlin

The transport of the 8 HPC bridge girders from Bautzen to Berlin was certainly not an easy undertaking. The dimensions of a bridge girder of 39.40 x 1.15 x 1.40 m and a weight of 90 tons practically scream for a heavy and special transport – but that’s exactly what we’re here for! In cooperation with the Berlin police, who took over the transport escort within the capital, we maneuvered the bridge girders safely through Berlin. Shortly before reaching the construction site, however, there was another exciting turning maneuver.

Transport of the last Airbus A380 vertical stabilizer from Stade to Hamburg-Finkenwerder

We have been transporting the vertical stabilizers of the A380 for Airbus since 2011. We collect the component from the Airbus factory in Stade and take it to the paint shop in Hamburg-Finkenwerde. It then goes on to final assembly.

At a proud 10.15m high and weighing 10 tons, transporting it through the streets of Hamburg is anything but child’s play, so we had to plan, coordinate and agree to a high degree. To date, we have handled over 250 transports of this type for Airbus.

The long journey of locomotive 4535 from Kassel to Hamburg

Locomotives normally belong on the rails, but for Alstom we were happy to transport them via the streets of Kassel to the port of Hamburg. In particular, the passage through underpasses had to be carried out precisely by adjusting the transport height using hydraulics in order to bring the locomotive to its destination undamaged. In various stages over several days, the locomotive, weighing 200 tons, was finally transported safely to the heavy-duty quay at the port of Hamburg and successfully loaded onto the ship for further transport.
