Tianjie’s big bridge roll
26 June 2014Guangdong Lift Engineering Machinery (GPEC) used Tianjie SPMT’s on the transportation 3200t giant bridge section roll-on barge for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project in Zhongshan, Guangdong province.
Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry employed GPEC on the giant bridge project. The giant bridge section which total weighed 3,200t and had the dimensions 132.6m x 33.1m.
These were transported from the fabrication facility yard to the barge by using total 100-axle lines SPMTs.
There was over 20m distance from the bridge section and barge. Tianjie's 100 axle lines of TJ-S2.43 SPMTs these meant there were 10 units composed of 4 SPMT modules.
Tianjie said that the most difficult period that was anticipated was when the SPMT moved onto the barge. It w as anticipated that the barge would swing and tilt with the change of weight. However, the hydraulic steady system of Tianjie SPMT, meant that the load could be balanced successfully.
