The Total Movements team was involved in the project from the very beginning. Our team completed a detailed Route Survey for road transportation from the supplier’s factory, Mandideep Plant, to Mumbai Port.

Our Transportation Team made the arrangements for the puller & hydraulic axles well in advance. Civil work was done near the supplier’s gate within 2 hrs for smooth turning. Also, our chartering team booked a suitable vessel, taking into account the least transit time available, along with all the necessary safety requirements as per the package dimensions.

The transformer was placed on hydraulic axles under extreme supervision & it was successfully brought out of the Supplier’s Gate. Traffic & the bad condition of roads in the city made the task difficult. Despite that, our team successfully brought the cargo inside the Mumbai Port Gate.

On the vessel’s arrival, the packages were directly transported to the berth for feeding under the vessel’s hook on the same day. The heavy-lift transformer was loaded using a lifting spreader beam. All the packages were safely loaded onto the lower deck. They were then secured with hard & soft lashings as per sea fastening calculations.

Despite the challenges, our team accomplished the delivery of this heavy 195MT transformer from Factory to Port (a distance of 1300 Kms) in a record 10 days.
