SLC and its heavy transport subsidiary FM Global have used ten Faymonville ModulMAX axle lines of the G-SL module series to transport gas turbines and generators in Angola.
Several turbines and generators weighing between 180t and 210t were transported.

“Thanks to the flexible method of construction, we could assemble the combination in such a way that the high and very concentrated loading weight was ideally distributed. As a result, bridges could be crossed without difficulty,” says Claudio Vieira from SLC.

Additional power can be gained on inclines by adding a second tractor unit to the drawbar.

Faymonville’s software Falco was used for calculations during the transport planning.

norail hoists handle the comparatively lighter loads and are generally performing non-process related tasks such as service and maintenance.
