Mammoet has expanded its electric fleet with the purchase of two Eco500 heavy transport vehicles from Cometto.
The mini transporter will play a big role in supporting industrial movements inside buildings and areas too small for standard-sized trailers to operate, and where emissions need to be eliminated.
The Eco500’s compact design – a combination of its power pack being integrated underneath its loading platform and Cometto’s patented ‘pendulum suspension’ – enables the movement of heavy cargoes in confined spaces.
Like other transporters, the Eco500 has a lifting cylinder for jacking, freedom of movement in all directions and operates via remote control. Lowered, it measures just 670 millimeters high.
Using joker axles, the Eco500 can be set up in various configurations of two, three or four axles, or in a combination of 2 x 4 axles, giving an overall capacity range of 67 to 274 tonnes.
The Eco500 will enable more effective working, another option to reduce operational noise, and a reduction in the amount of equipment on site.
It will also help to support Mammoet’s ‘zero-emissions on site’ offering – joining a growing fleet of SPMTs, skidding equipment and cranes that are helping customers to reduce carbon emissions, meet stricter targets and achieve 2030 sustainability goals.
Ludo Mous, Global Asset Director SPMT at Mammoet, said: “We continually strive to make heavy lift and transport projects safer, efficient and more sustainable for our customers.
This is made possible by us developing and investing in new and innovative technologies.
The Eco500 is compact, electric, and its lifting system is the same as existing transport equipment – making it a great addition to our fleet.”
Adrian Zingan, Product Manager at Cometto, said: “When Mammoet approached us with its list of requirements for an electric SPMT, we were delighted with their reaction to the Eco500. The self-propelled transporter is a compact and powerful transport solution for intralogistics, with the electric model offering emission-free driving.”
The Eco500s are now officially part of the Mammoet electric fleet and ready for use. Customers interested in reducing their carbon footprint are invited to contact their local Mammoet location.
