Heavy haulage of a 90-tonne machine component
Kassel-based heavy machinery manufacturer DANIELI HENSCHEL built a scrap metal press for processing stainless steel for CRONIMET ALFA Ferrolegierungen Handels-GmbH in Munich.
Speedlog was entrusted with transporting the partially dismantled machine. Its heaviest individual component weighed 90,000 kilograms and measured 8.25 × 4.45 × 2.95 metres.
“With a component weighing 90 tonnes, careful preparation was just as important as coordinating all escort measures.”

Four weeks of transport permit planning
The complex permit process took approximately four weeks. With a BF3 escort vehicle, police escort, road closures and 62 additional no-parking signs, the multi-axle heavy-haul convoy safely reached the installation site.
There, the press compresses stainless steel into packages measuring 60 × 60 × 60 centimetres, which are subsequently returned to the steel production process.
