FOX Brasil loads a steam turbine from Brazil to a power plant in Central America

The Heavy Lift Group member FOX Project Logistics had the opportunity to showcase its expertise and know-how on the transport of a 6,30 x 4,05 x 3,60 – 51 ton turbine plus 210 freight ton of accessories from the heart of the state of São Paulo, on a 500km long journey to the port of Santos. More than 30 tons of crates were forklifted to the vessel while the massive turbine and two of the largest pieces were loaded, lashed and boarded in on a 62’ MAFI trailer and bound to Central America. Upon arrival, all the items were lifted from MAFI and loaded on wheels. After some hot-work to get the cradles properly fixed and ready to receive the load, our turbine rode another 500 km to its final destination, arriving safe and sound, completing another flawless and successful operation.
