TIANDI lauches new hydraulic modular trailer

51.Chinese Leading Special Heavy Transport Vehicles Manufacturer - TIANDI Group (THI) and it's sub co. FLJ have just launched it's new TJV2 hydraulic moduar trailer which is also knowed as multi axle trailer. This trailer is the new upgrade version from TIANDI's regular TJV1 2990mm width modular trailer.



By remaining the great loading capacity (22.5ton @ 18km/h) as those previous models, TJV2's main upgrade features are as follows:
Smaller turning radius: The TJV2 trailer's first wheel steering angle has been upgraded from +/-50 degrees to +/-55 degrees.
Better passing through capacity: Platfrom height from 1080 +290/-310mm changed to 1080 +/-325mm, which makes the trailer has even better passing through capacity on rough road.
Easy connection: The pipe connecting system is moved to both side of the trailer, which is easier for piping line connection during module combination. Fast connectors helps to increase work efficiency and safty.

the one follow is TIANDI's regular TJV1 Hydraulic Modular trailer


(According to customer requirement, TJV1 can be adjust to combine with Nicolas MDE type and TJV2 can be adjust to couple with Nicolas MDED type from Europe.)

ALE plans demo of 4,300t capacity crane in September

Abnormal Load Engineering is planning to demonstrate the first crane it has ever made, the 4,300t (4,740 US ton) capacity SK 90 at a customer event in Breda, Netherlands in September.

The crane will have a maximum boom length of 148m (486ft) main boom and 48m (157ft) backmast. It can lift rated capacity using four strand jacks mounted at the boom tip, a similar arrangement to Mammoet's MSG 80 crane, which has a maximum capacity of 3,070t. It can lift 600t with a winch with 10 parts of line.

Like other very heavy cranes, it slews by turning around a large modular ring that is set up outside its lower structure. But unlike some other ring cranes, it can operate with only a section of a complete ring assembled.

The crane raises maximum load with 4,000t of counterweight. Its maximum load-moment is 96,000tm. A 120,000tm model is also planned.


The crane is intended for large petrochemical jobs, ALE director Roger Harries explained to Cranes Today.

"We have found uses in the Middle East for large construction projects, where the large load moment capability has an advantage over the current ring designs as it does not sterilize the foundation area of the construction plot. It has changed a lot of the thinking concerning construction techniques of new plants."

He added: "There are many other application where the capacity of the crane allows engineers to build more efficient process plant."

As of mid-August, the prototype was still being assembled. Testing begins at the end of the month.
