Fortune International Transport in Italy are pleased to report a recent project involving large machinery arriving at Genoa.

This cargo measured 4.87 metres wide with a weight of over 110 tons.

The main problem was the entrance of the factory, which was the final destination as the width of the door was only 4.85 metres. Dismantling the machinery or the the door itself were not feasible solutions, and so after a survey, Fortune discovered a back door allowing the 4.87 metre-wide cargo to enter. However, the road to this back door was incredibly narrow and the specialised truck was unable to turn due to its length.

To solve these issues, Fortune organised the trucking to be conducted with a heavy carrier/low loader up to the closest area to the final destination (around 200 metres away) where they transshipped the machinery onto a much smaller truck, which was able to enter the narrow road and pass through the bigger back door to complete the transport.

Project Cargo Manager, Paolo Federici comments; "Solving problems is our job!"
