Mammoet transports 420t nacelle on Nicolas MHD G II
17 June 2016Mammoet has recently used 21-axle lines of Nicolas MHD G II to transport a 420t nacelle. The Østerild Wind Turbine Test Field in Denmark is used for testing of wind turbines with an overall height up to 250m. Blades with up to 110m can also be tested there.
After unloading at Hanstholm harbor, the nacelle was securely fixed on the Nicolad MHD G II with special load spreaders. In order to match the requirements of the load concerning weight and measures, a so-called three-file combination was put together, consisting of several standard vehicles in longitudinal coupling attached to one row of split "halves". This combination can ensure an excellent tilting stability, despite the high center of gravity of the load. In total, the transport combination had a height of 11,60m and a length of 71m on 252 wheels.
"The Nicolas MHD G II is ideally suited for the wind industry", says Lars Schoedt, area manager sales at TII Sales. "With the second generation of this proven vehicle, we provide the specifications the industry needs: no matter if we are talking about the impressive bending moment, a multitude of precise steering modes or the sturdiness and long-term reliability of the Nicolas MHD G2".
The Nicolas MHD G II is available in different axles, such as two, three, five and six-axle module. A self-propelled version of the MHD G II is also successfully in use as an automatically guided vehicle. The transport of nacelles during the production process without any operators can show the multitude of technical possibilities the MHD G II offers.
