Heavy-duty transports are logistical challenges in which extremely heavy or bulky goods have to be transported from one place to another. In such cases, conventional means of transportation are often inadequate and special vehicles are needed to meet the requirements of heavy-duty transport. The construction of such special vehicles is one of the areas of special vehicle construction, a specialized industry that focuses on the manufacture of vehicles for heavy-duty transport.
Heavy-duty special vehicles are customized vehicles for transporting heavy loads, such as machines, turbines, bridge segments and other oversized goods. They are usually equipped with a variety of technical features to cope with such enormous loads. Here are some of the key features of such vehicles from the special vehicle construction sector:
- Modularity and adaptability: Special vehicles for heavy-duty transport can often be designed modularly to adapt to different transport requirements.
- Versatile drive systems: Special drive systems are required to move heavy loads, including hydraulic, electrical and mechanical systems.
- Low number of axles and long length: Heavy-duty vehicles often have several axles in order to achieve better weight distribution. To ensure the maneuverability of particularly long low-loaders or trailers from special vehicle construction, the axles are often steerable.
- Steerability and safety: As heavy-duty transportation is often complicated and dangerous, the vehicles have advanced steering systems and safety features to prevent accidents. For example, the front and rear axles can often be steered independently of each other.
- Specialized transport trailers: Special trailers are developed for various transportation requirements, such as low-loaders, telescopic trailers and heavy-duty platforms.
Special vehicle construction, including for heavy-duty transport, is a highly specialized industry in which vehicles are often manufactured individually according to the customer's specific requirements. This requires a high degree of engineering skill and specialist knowledge. Heavy-duty transportation is an essential part of the logistics sector and plays a decisive role in overcoming the challenges posed by the expansion of modern industry and energy supply.
