Railway transport, for the transportation of industrial and technological equipment, is one of the most popular forms of delivery of equipment to the place of unloading. The most applicable and convenient is the transportation of containers and oversized cargo on open areas, railway platforms, in wagons. This type of transport is the most economical over long distances. The railway network is well developed throughout the country, so it is possible to bring cargo as close as possible to the point of delivery.
In addition, most large industrial enterprises, often using rail transport services for the supply of materials and components and shipment of manufactured products, have their own access roads. This allows the locomotive to pull the cars directly to the place of loading, where it is possible to perform rigging work and move the heavy unit to the railway platform. If at the moment there is no possibility of using a locomotive, a car crane or a car installed on special wheels and moving on rails can be used to supply the platform.
Platforms are used to transport oversized cargo, and in special cases, transporters designed to transport equipment weighing up to 500 tons.Specialists of Sintez TMK, based on the parameters of the cargo, will perform the following works:
- analysis and preparation of a transportation route that provides minimum tariffs;
- selection and custom-optimal type of cars;
- organization of loading, transshipment, unloading of equipment;
- rigging, fastening of cargo;
- if necessary, ordering and connecting another mode of transport;
- obtaining the necessary transportation permits.
The cargo will be tracked throughout the journey. Up-to-date information will reduce the cost of unloading, as well as help to respond in a timely manner in case of problems on the route.
Large equipment is usually shipped from one industrial plant to another, and each of them has access railway tracks, so there will be no problems with the supply of wagons. Over long distances to transport oversized cargo by car is impractical. After all, the speed of the train is very low, so the road will take a long time. And given the complexity of the organization of road transport and the need for special escort, this route will be not only long, but also unreasonably expensive.
Rail transportation has its own specifics, for a layman it can be difficult, but can significantly save money, and quickly deliver cargo. To avoid additional costs with downtime of cars, fines and inconsistencies, you need experience in performing such works, and therefore it is better to contact a specialized company.
According to the design and purpose of transporters are divided into several varieties:
Plaza type transporter
Site type – may differ in the number of axles and the size of the loading pad. Their load capacity reaches 220 tons. The main bearing beam, made in the form of a bent beam with a loading platform at the bottom, rests on auxiliary beams or on a transporter cart using spherical spots.
Plaza type transporter
The loading capacity of surface transporters is from 55 to 220 tons (depending on the number of axles, the length of the loading platform and its height from the rail head).
Platform-type transporter
Platform transporter It has a straight main beam.
Platform-type transporter
Well-type transporter
Wells. They got this name due to the presence of a niche between the main carrier beam and two side ones. The cargo is based on stationary beams at the bottom of the well.
Well-type transporter
Well-type transporters have a carrying capacity of 60-120 tons.
Carrier of the coupling type
Construction coupling It consists of two platforms on which turnstiles are located for mounting transported items. The coupling of these sections, in which there are no absorbent elements, has a shortened shape. Such transporters can carry a cargo of 120 tons with a 12-axle platform, 240 tons with an 18-axle one, 480 tons with a 32-axle one.
Carrier of the coupling type
The main types of coupling transporters are the 12-axle transporter (loading capacity of 120 tons), the 16-axle transporter (240 tons) and the 32-axle transporter (480 tons).
Articulated transporter
Articulated transporter It also has 2 sections with load-bearing consoles based on a railway trolley. Between the consoles on the auxiliary beams there is a transported object connected by means of eyelets from below with consoles. The upper mounting occurs due to the weight of the load, which is pinched between the beams.
Articulated transporter
Articulated transporters are equipped with a system of hydraulic lifts for loading and unloading and maintaining consoles during breeding of transporter sections. 16-axle transporters (loading capacity of 220 tons), 20-axle (300 tons), 28-axle (400 and 500 tons) are used.
Choose experience and professionalism!
Our specialists know how to order the right car, and how to prepare and secure the cargo for transportation using minimal time. They will prepare all the necessary documents by the time of shipment, receive the required permits and approvals. This will reduce the cost of delivery of the car to a minimum.
Information on the location of the car will be received from each transit station. Therefore, by the time the cargo arrives at the station there will be lifts necessary for unloading the equipment, and, if necessary, further transportation by road will be organized. Thanks to the experience and professionalism of the company’s specialists, the delivery of equipment will be carried out on time and without additional costs.
