EXG Navigate Challenging Transport of Wind Turbine Generator
20th January 2025
Express Global Logistics are glad to share their movement of a large wind turbine generator and its components.
The turbine generator featured the following components:
- Blades - 81.0 (L) x 5.20 (W) x 3.50 (H) meters
- Nacelle - 114.5 MT
- Hub - 41 MT
The journey began with the careful loading of the blades at a port in the eastern part of China.
EXG ensured that all safety protocols were strictly adhered to, with special attention to securing the blades to prevent any movement during transit.
The blades were safely delivered to a port on the west coast of India within the stipulated time frame.
The inland transportation posed unique challenges. EXG utilised specialised equipment to transport the blades, including:
- 2 mechanical trailers
- 2 sets of hydraulic axles
- 3 extendable trailers
Multiple civil works, such as road widening and removing barriers, were conducted to facilitate the safe passage of the blades.
These activities were carefully coordinated to minimise disruption to traffic and ensure smooth transit.
Additionally, EXG worked closely with local police authorities to provide an escort for the transport vehicles.
This measure ensured traffic management and smooth navigation through critical stretches of the journey.
From loading to unloading and final delivery, EXG demonstrated its expertise in handling oversized cargo and commitment to excellence.
