After glancing at a post earlier on giant transporters, four or five unique featured machines fascinated me, they were Ship Yard Transporters. Essentially a low slung steel chassis, with a crane style glass cube cockpit, riddled with 24 - 30 heavy duty rubber tires all held together by an intricate hydraulic suspension systemSanjiang Wanshan, Wuhan, CHINA a professional shipyard transporter manufacturer, provide three series.
The various series A models have an overall load capacity between 75 to 204 tonnes, 16 steerable tires with a fully loaded speed of 6 - 8 km/h. The unit itself can weigh anywhere between 24 to 52 tonnes a piece. Despite there size after looking through the model range one would think this is the more nimbler option for scooting smaller pieces of the ship jigsaw puzzle.
Series B
Series B
Load capacity starts at 104 tonne, right up to a whopping 484 tonne pinnacle. Doubling the steerable tire quantity (32 tires!) plays an essential part in coping with all this extra weight The fully loaded top speed drops to a meer 6 km/h, and the weight per unit 24 to 93 tonnes.
Series C
Series C
It looks as if this group does the work in between, with a load capacity range of 90 to 175 tonnes. Strangely enough they come with 22.5 steerable tires (im not sure how that works?). Series B and C have a very comparable top speed of 6 km/h.
