Length and width restrictions for equipment transportation

2009-04-13View Original

Thread Content

When transporting towers, containers, heat exchange equipment, etc., what are the limitations on the equipment’s specifications (total length and total width)? What is the cost for lengths and widths up to what limit? How are the length and width defined for shipping costs? Consider the height-to-diameter ratio (length-to-diameter ratio) in the transport direction during design

Reference HG20583 can be used

HG20583 stipulates that equipment with an inner diameter greater than 3800 mm should be transported in separate pieces, whereas the equipment in our company with an inner diameter of 6000 mm is transported as a whole. Before transporting large-scale equipment, it is necessary to conduct on-site inspections of the road conditions

This should involve looking up the relevant regulations on road transportation

The general size restrictions for road transportation seem to be as follows: Height – the total height of the vehicle and its load must be 4 meters or less when measured from the ground; for container trucks, this limit is 4.2 meters. Width – the total width of the vehicle and its load must be 2.5 meters or less. Length – the total length of the vehicle and its load must be 18 meters or less. For other regulations, it is recommended to consult the provisions outlined in Ministry of Transport Order No. 2 of 2000, titled “Regulations on the Operation of Vehicles with Excessive Dimensions on Roads”. For equipment that cannot be disassembled and must be transported as a whole, special transport vehicles can be used, or a heavy freight company can be hired to handle the transportation ; Our reactor, with a diameter of 5 meters and a total weight of around 100 tons, was transported by a company specialized in transporting large-scale special vehicles. For reference!
