Van der Vlist recently moved a heavy duty machine pile from Moerdijk to Ijsselstein. It was stored on Van der Vlist beams and elephant's feet supports before being moved on a modular trailer.

The dimensions of the pile (shown in the photographs) are:

Length 2100cm x Width 250cm x Height 250cm, Weight 142,000kg. 

The pile was stored at Van der Vlist's terminal in Moerdijk, which consists of a quayside with both short and deep sea shipping amenities, indoor and outdoor storage space, cranes and other lifting equipment, which can cater for all your haulage and storage needs.

Van der Vlist UK recently moved a large boiler from London to Brussels.

We used our 3+5 axle low loader, which can be seen in the photograph below.

Due to the height, it was then transshipped onto a barge in Belgium, and moved via the Belgian waterways to its final destination.

Once offloaded from the barge, it was placed on a short 6-axle drawbar modular trailer for local movement, and once it had arrived it was placed on stools for temporary storage.

Dimensions were as follows:

Length 1050cm x width 560cm x height 440cm, 60,000kg.

There was also a lifting frame to increase these already substantial dimensions!
