加纳重型运输专家Monpe Heavy Haulage公司使用其Faymonville公司的 ModulMax拖车从加纳运送六台卡特彼勒发动机到尼日尔，每台发动机重219吨，行程1,285公里。为了运输发动机，Monpe使用了两台十轴组合的双轮胎鹅颈式拖车。六台发动机共运送三趟。

Monpe的十人车队在运输过程中遇到了许多障碍，包括：洪水、桥梁结构、狭窄而崎岖的道路、恶劣的气候条件等。还必须满足一些相关的防疫要求。而且沿途还要拆除街道设施和电线。

完成全部设备的运输仅用时23天，Monpe公司负责人Peter Everet说之所以能够快速、安全地运送设备，部分原因归功于ModulMax拖车的摆轴（pendle-axles）。他说：“得益于这种装置，在崎岖不平的路段、有大坑洼，甚至在被水淹没的路段，拖车和货物始终与地面接触良好，保证了运输的安全性。“

Heavy haul for Monpe

By Christian Shelton

Ghanaian heavy haulage specialist Monpe Heavy Haulage used its Faymonville ModulMax trailers to transport six CAT engines each weighing 219 tonnes a distance of 1,285 km across Africa, from Ghana to Niger. To transport the engines Monpe used two ten-axle combinations of twin-tyre gooseneck trailers. This meant that, in total, Monpe made three trips to move all six engines. The turnkey organisation of the project was handled by German logistics company DB Schenker.

Monpe collected the engines from the Ghanaian ports of Tema and Takoradi, where they arrived from Germany. Initially, Monpe was planning to take the fastest and most direct route through Burkina Faso into Niger. Changing security conditions, however, meant that this became an unsafe route, so Monpe determined a new route via Togo, Benin and then into Niger.

As well as crossing boarders, the ten-man Monpe convoy encountered multiple obstacles including: floods, bridge structures; narrow, rough roads; tough climatic conditions. The crew also had to meet multiple Covid-19 requirements. Street furniture and electric lines had to be removed along the route.

According to Faymonville, the journeys took an average of just 23 days. Monpe owner Peter Everet partly attributed the fast, safe transportation of the engines to the ModulMax trailers’ pendle-axles. “The 650 mm stroke of the pendle-axles managed to cross very rough road segments with huge potholes and even some flooded areas while still ensuring the stability of the convoy and cargo at all times,” he said. “The necessary transport safety was guaranteed thanks to permanent optimal ground contact.”
