Iran Dena S.A. transports 1000 tons reactors

Quickly Iran Dena developed into one of the biggest and most important logistics company for road, air, rail and water transportation. The company is famous in Iran but also in the whole Persian region for its knowhow, experience and equipment for the most complex and difficult logistic employments. In the meantime the company owns 120 heavy-duty axle lines, among them over 40 axle lines of Goldhofer´s heavy-duty series THP/SL bought in the course of the last years.
The „Assaluyeh gas field“ means a lot of transport work for Iran Dena, including two ethylene-oxide-reactors with approx. 910 tons each.
These two reactors were built in Japan. From there they were shipped over the Persian Golf to Buschehr in the south of Iran.
There two shipboard cranes loaded the two reactors with a length of 24 m, a width of 8,20 m and a height of 10,6 m onto a 40-axle Goldhofer heavy-duty combination type THP/SL. Just in time for this transport Goldhofer had delivered 16 new axle lines, that could be combined with the already existing modules into two units with 20 axle lines coupled next to each other.
Two to three Mack prime movers were in front of this giant with a weight of 1090 tons and 320 tyres. Without any problems the total combination with a weight of approx. 1200 tons, a length of approx. 45 m, a height of 11,8 m and a width of around 8,2 m drove to the intended intermediate storage site. On this occasion, with the help of its hydraulic axle suspension system of +/- 300 mm, the trailer put the reactor onto the supplied elephants feet.
Afterwards the second reactor was unloaded and transported into the intermediate storage site.
