Conveyors for oversize help solve the most difficult tasks

As you know, railway transport is optimal from the point of view of the correlation of price and delivery terms. However, some goods that violate the formula are oversized: turbines of power plants, parts of bridges and other large structures, career and specific agricultural machinery, etc.

Due to the peculiarities of such departures, their transportation by road is complex or impossible, and is complicated by railroads. The load is not corny in standard wagons and open wagons, open platforms. Fortunately, there are railway transporters, created specifically for the oversized. But it’s not a fact that your non-standard cargo can be delivered. Let’s look at the types of conveyors that the Neolit Logisticsh Group uses.

Types and main characteristics of conveyors

On the railway tracks of Ukraine there are transporters with a maximum carrying capacity of up to 500 tons. The technique is mainly used by the famous German manufacturers MAN and KRUPP, whose engineers have achieved great success in the design of specific platforms. By species distinguish:

• Platform transporters – from conventional platforms are characterized by a reinforced frame and load capacity up to 120 tons, are used for heavy weights of standard sizes.
• Square has a curved central beam for loads with large dimensions. A special shape helps to facilitate loading and reduce the overspeed factor. Maximum carry up to 220 tons. The main disadvantage is the limited length.
• Well-shaped frame shape resembles the platform, but thanks to the board, they can accommodate round and rectangular loads with strictly defined maximum dimensions. Carrying capacity up to 110 tons.
• Couplers are several platforms connected together. Used for long loads with a maximum mass of up to 350 tons.
• Articulated conveyors are sometimes manufactured for the transport of a particular cargo. According to the principle of work, it serves as a detail that connects the two parts of the frame with the wheel pairs in the middle. They are in demand and expensive, because

Can carry up to 500 tons. On such platforms, huge turbines of power plants and other super-overs are transported.

Everything is relatively simple – in order to understand what type of conveyor your cargo needs, orient yourself to weight and length, or better contact the specialists of the Neolit Logistics company to find the best option and calculate the cost of delivery.
