Loading Sertom plate rolls 4000 x 160 mm with 322 Ton to Belgium

Transporting heavy metalworking machines requires carefully planned logistical solutions. Mach4Metal, a specialist in used metalworking machines based in Babberich, recently adopted an innovative approach for relocating machines from a major Polish factory that produced jackets for offshore wind turbines. Among these machines is an impressive Sertom plate rolling machine weighing approximately 325 tons.

Bulk Transport: A Strategic Choice for Plate Rolling Machines

To move this massive plate roller, Mach4Metal opted for bulk transport by ship. This method offers not only logistical advantages but also cost-efficiency. The Polish factory is situated on an island with direct access to a port, where a gantry crane with a lifting capacity of 1,200 tons is available. This allows the heavy machines to be loaded onto the ship easily and safely.
