Big move at the Port of Montréal, Canada
Heavy-lift specialist Mammoet has transported an outsized crane for Termont at the Port of Montréal, Canada.
The project involved transport of the 700-tonne port crane 2.5 kilometers between Termont MontrĂ©al’s two terminals. Mammoet utilized customized transport beams and 48 lines of SPMTs for the move as well as 200 wooden mats for load spreading.
“Mammoet provided a safe, fast and reliable execution plan to show the inland relocation would cause minimal impact to neighboring businesses … The team also had to account for an underground tunnel, which was protected using steel ramps,” a spokesperson for Mammoet said.
Mammoet provides a range of heavy-lift services including project cargo transportation, logistic planning and crane rental from its headquarters in Schiedam in the Netherlands.
