Shipyard Transporter is a heavy-duty material handling vehicle designed for the safe and efficient transportation of large ship sections, blocks, machinery, and vessels within shipyards and marine construction facilities. It plays a critical role in modern shipbuilding and repair operations by enabling precise movement of oversized and extremely heavy loads across the yard.
Shipyard transporters are typically configured as self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) or multi-axle platform carriers, featuring hydraulic suspension systems that ensure equal load distribution and excellent maneuverability. Advanced steering modes, including crab steering and multi-directional movement, allow precise positioning in confined shipyard environments.
Powered by diesel or electro-hydraulic drive systems, shipyard transporters are engineered for high load capacities and continuous-duty operation. The robust chassis structure and synchronized axle control provide stability during transport, while integrated control systems enable smooth acceleration, braking, and steering under full load conditions.
Safety and reliability are enhanced through comprehensive features such as load monitoring, hydraulic redundancy, emergency stop systems, braking control, and real-time diagnostics. Designed for harsh outdoor and marine conditions, shipyard transporters are protected with corrosion-resistant coatings and heavy-duty components suitable for long-term yard operation.
Shipyard transporters are designed and manufactured in compliance with EN, FEM, ISO, CE directives, and relevant marine and industrial standards, and can be customized to meet specific shipyard layouts, load dimensions, and operational requirements.
