Can a horizontal storage tank with a diameter of 4.6 meters, a total length of approximately 12 meters, a thickness of 22 mm, and made of Q345R material be transported over long distances? Haichuan Process Management & Technology Team
This is quite a large item; it’s recommended to contact the local transportation authorities for advice. :) They will provide relevant solutions.
Has anyone who has worked with the transportation of such large equipment encountered this? Seeking advice
The general maximum dimension for transportation is 3400 mm. Whether large-diameter containers can be transported depends on the specific circumstances between the container manufacturer and the destination; in such cases, a special survey may be necessary.
According to the Ministry of Transport’s Regulations on the Management of Overdimensional Vehicles on Highways, vehicles whose total height from the ground is 4 meters or more, whose total length is 18 meters or more, whose total width is 2.5 meters or more, as well as those with a different number of axles or tires that exceed the specified load capacity, are all considered overdimensional vehicles. It is clear that the horizontal storage tank with a diameter of 4.6 meters owned by the poster falls under the category of oversized items. However, being oversized does not mean it cannot be transported; it is necessary to consult a professional heavy-duty transportation company to develop a suitable plan. If the plan works and the costs associated with dismantling, reassembling, and reinforcing the tank along the way are acceptable, then transporting such an oversized item is possible. I have seen towers with a diameter of 10.8 meters and a total length of around 98 meters being transported as a whole.
Find a company that specializes in transporting large items; you’ll cover the costs, and you don’t need to worry about anything else. Weight is a major issue – your equipment weighs over 38 tons, which makes the transportation cost quite high
It should be possible; I’ll ask the logistics company about the route from one place to another. I’ve already shipped items worth 5,000 as well
A question: In areas with tunnels, the height limit is generally 4.8 meters. Be careful in mountainous areas! !
