| Large boiler from London to Brussels
22 December 2009 |
Van der Vlist UK recently moved a large boiler from London to Brussels. We used our 3+5 axle low loader, which can be seen in the photograph below. Due to the height, it was then transshipped onto a barge in Belgium, and moved via the Belgian waterways to its final destination. Once offloaded from the barge, it was placed on a short 6-axle drawbar modular trailer for local movement, and once it had arrived it was placed on stools for temporary storage. Dimensions were as follows: Length 1050cm x width 560cm x height 440cm, 60,000kg. There was also a lifting frame to increase these already substantial dimensions!

Van der Vlist UK recently transported new, 5.6m wide, ducting from India, via Antwerp, to the site in East Yorkshire. The ducting was planned to be transported on our low loaders from Antwerp directly into Hull.
