Oversized Cargo Transportation
Since 2003, QuickPort has been operating in the oversized and heavy-lift cargo transportation sector, providing a comprehensive suite of services ranging from route surveys and planning to final delivery.
Transportation of Power Transformers and Electrical Equipment
In the construction of energy facilities, commissioning of residential districts, and modernization of industrial networks, transformer transportation is one of the most critical logistical tasks. QUICKPORT Group of Companies provides professional transportation services for oversized power units and electrical equipment of any capacity.
Technical Aspects of Transformer Transportation
Transformers are ultra-heavy and vibration-sensitive cargoes. We take all critical safety factors into account:
- Axle Load Calculation: Utilization of multi-axle low-loaders (lowboys) for transporting units weighing from 40 to 120+ tons.
- Rigging Services: Professional loading using hydraulic jacks and specialized skidding systems when crane usage is not feasible.
- Assembled or Disassembled Transport: Transportation of transformers with auxiliary equipment or in a partially dismantled state (with bushings and conservators removed).
- Equipment Protection: Monitoring of oil and nitrogen pressure in the tank during transit, as well as the use of impact sensors (shock recorders).
Logistics Solutions in the Baltics and Scandinavia
QUICKPORT possesses unique expertise in the Northern region, providing "door-to-door" delivery:
- Complex Routes: Delivery to remote substations in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, accounting for road gradients and severe weather conditions.
- Special Permits: Full support in obtaining permits for heavy-lift transport across bridges and through tunnels in the Baltic States.
- Multimodal Schemes: Organization of ferry crossings for oversized cargo across the Baltic Sea.
