The journey taken had several challenges from the start with an upward gradient of 10% and a hairpin bend in the direction the transporter was travelling in. The InterCombi used its 12 hydrostatically-driven double pendulum axes to overcome this.

Another obestacle cam in the form of a roundabout was situated in Schwaikheim itself and presented the biggest challenge of the transportation assignment. The adjustable load distribution unit was used to level the lifting device creating the required clearance to allow the transformer to negotiate the rising section of the roundabout.
