The global market leader Mammoet now also uses Cometto SPMT as new type and brand in their worldwide self-propelled modular trailer fleet.

A first mission is being carried out in the United Kingdom with 84 axle lines for moving jacket structures weighing between 1,850 and 2,300 tons.

The new collaboration between Cometto and Mammoet leads to a fruitful combination of two partners that stand for leading competence in special and heavy haulage business. “We are really proud to supply the worldwide heavy hauling and lifting reference with our self-propelled vehicles”, explains Cometto Sales Manager Joachim Kolb. After a detailed training session on their new SPMT, the Mammoet operators execute the first mission while transporting a tripod foundation in the United Kingdom. The bulky item has a height of 90 meters and weighs 2,035 tons.

The Mammoet crew transports the load on 84 axle lines Cometto MSPE with a payload capacity of 48 tons per axle line and three Power Pack Units with an output of 368 kW each. The self-propelled combination comes in an open compound with three MSPE trains. 28 axle lines in a side-by-side combination are positioned under each leg of the tripod. To master this challenging operation safely and efficiently, Mammoet relies on the specialized equipment by Cometto.
