In order to ensure the transportation to be carried out smoothly, on schedule and strictly complied with the rules of oversize-overweight cargo transport and handling, Vietranstimex team has calculated and developed technical plans, including the site survey of infrastructure conditions, obstacles clearance on the transport route, and calculating the turning angle for long trailer convoy at corners on the whole route. The adequate transport equipment is calculated for oversize-overweight cargo, including special Man tractor and SPT hydraulic trailers, the used number of SPT trailers is 15-27 axes which were adjusted depending on the road conditions.

Congratulations to Vietranstimex and EDC. Wishing the two sides’ cooperation huge success!
