Sinotrans moves 7,500-ton hotel: sets record for world's heaviest building transport using SCHEUERLE SPMT

Chinese heavy goods logistics company Sinotrans Heavy-Lift Logistics Co., a subsidiary of the largest Chinese logistics company Sinotrans, has moved a 7,500-ton hotel in the city of Sanya in the Hainan province using SCHEUERLE SPMTs. According to Sinotrans, this is the world's heaviest building transport to date. Sinotrans was commissioned to re-position the 7,500-ton hotel by 500 meters due to environmental regulations.

The assignment not only required a large number of axle lines for the high unit weight, but also electronically coupled and controlled modules due to the unequal load distribution. The specialist transport company distributed the load of the hotel on 254 axle lines; and a total of 15 Power Pack Units (PPU) drove the vehicle combination.
