Iveco Astra, Kamaz, and a forgotten Tractomas!
Iveco Astra, Kamaz, and a forgotten Tractomas! All from Jeff in Mombasa for Biglorryblog!
Jeff Lee of TIANDI HEAVY INDUSTRIES fame has been on his travels and says: "Hi Brian,
Here is some truck photos I recently took in Mombasa, Kenya starting with two new IVECO ASTRA(6x6, 560HP, I think they are HD8 66.56 models and arrived Africa in March,They will be put to use attached to one our 14x3, 470MT TIANDI hydraulic modular trailers transporting some Wartsila diesel engines in the middle of 2010." And if you thought they were usual click through here for a REAL surprise...
Jeff has found an 'retired' Tractomas! How on earth did it get there and who ran it?. The reg number appears to be K88 747R ring any bells?
Now Jeff says: " A very old Mercedes, but still working! In Mombasa you can still see a lot of old trucks on road!"
"There were six of these units 'in stock' Kamaz(360 Turbo, 460hp)!"
And another close up of the Atra. Jeff says: "I've taken some Mack photos from Bahrain also, but they're in our engineer's camera! If you like I will get them to you also when our engineer returns from Malaysia." And the answer is yes please Jeff!

KAMAG and SCHEUERLE claim new world record
December 8 - As part of a new project, more than 15,000 tonnes of installation equipment was moved on self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) using KAMAG and SCHEUERLE transport technology.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the heaviest load ever to be transported by SPMTs claim the two equipment manufacturers.
The process took place in the Aker Stord shipyard at Leirvik, Norway. The objective was to transport an oil separator installation for the wastewater treatment operations of Aker Solutions from the production plant onto a nearby pontoon.
With three sections, the middle one alone weighing 12,750 tonnes, the oversize dimensions of the separator made it very difficult to transport. The Belgian heavy haulage specialist, Sarens, carried out this part of the project.
KAMAG shipped 356 axle lines of modular transporters and 16 Power Packs to Norway for use in the project, with sister company, SCHEUERLE, providing an additional 184 SPMT axle lines and 6 Power Packs, rented from heavy haulage specialist Mammoet.
The KAMAG and SCHEUERLE modular transporters (SPMTs) were then coupled together electronically and driven using remote control technology under the load, which was then raised to the required driving height, again through the use of remote-controlled operations.
Following a breathtaking 160 m journey from the production plant to the pontoon, precise operations were called for in positioning the enormous three sections of the oil separator installation adjacent to each other.

SCHEUERLE SPMT been tested before delivery for Australia Mining Company
Reported by Transportweekly 22.12.2008 (Pictures from BigLorryBlog)
SCHEUERLE received an order from the company Griffin Coal Mining in Perth, West Australia, to deliver heavy duty transport vehicles for transportation of huge excavators and dumpers, which are used in the coal mining industry. The machines, weighing up to 700 tons, put very special demands on the transporters. After about one year of development and construction the self-propelled transport system, which is based on the successful SCHEUERLE InterCombi series, has now been tested extensively before delivery.
Griffin Coal Mine is one of the biggest strip mining companies in Australia. Approx. 200 kilometres south-eastern of Perth, about 3 million tons of coal is mined annually. Already during the beginning of the Australian industrialisation, the Griffin Coal Mine played an important role by supplying to the national railway company. By now Griffin Coal Mine Company is one of the major subcontractors of the West-Australian energy sector, that operates several energy producing power plants with coal from the so-called „Colli Basins“.
If additional coal fields are to be made accessible to secure future energy supplies, massive excavators and dumpers also have to be relocated to this new site. However, a strip mining excavator, which can weigh up to 700 tons, is not designed for covering long distances. For this reason Griffin Coal Mine Company placed an order with SCHEUERLE to develop a powerful transport system.
