Drop Deck Solution for Over Dimensional Cargo

drop deck solution for an over dimensional cargo

Transporting cargo measuring nearly 6.77 meters in height comes with its unique set of challenges, particularly when faced with numerous overhead obstructions enroute.

As the 7th largest specialized fleet owner globally, NTC showcased its commitment to operational excellence by offering tailored solutions to overcome these intricate challenges.

We implemented a Dropdeck solution featuring a 3+dropdeck+3 axles combination, effectively lowering the cargo’s height from 6.77 meters to 6.15 meters from ground level. This meticulous approach ensured the cargo could safely pass through various clearances, addressing the challenges posed by overhead obstacles.

To ensure the cargo’s safe passage under the Ennore Railway line, we strategically coordinated the grounding of two traction lines during a railway shutdown to facilitate smooth operations.

Navigating the Red Hills underpass required a unique strategy. We covered a distance of 12 kilometers on the opposite side, securing necessary permissions to guarantee a safe vertical clearance, showcasing our adaptability in challenging scenarios.

In Medarmetla, our team obtained crucial police permissions to travel on the opposite lane for 9 kilometers, effectively avoiding two route boards. Additionally, we managed to bypass the Guntur underpass by deviating 4 kilometers, with our strategic route planning capabilities.

Leveraging our expertise, we lowered the trailer to a full down position at the Mangalagiri service road, passing under an underpass with only a 2-inch gap.

In Vijayawada, we skillfully avoided tree trimming by lifting branches, as we are our commitment to minimizing environmental impact while ensuring safe passage.

At Kathipudi, we went the extra mile by developing a service road, allowing us to make a right turn and eliminating the need for an interchange, emphasizing our dedication to finding innovative solutions.

Our ground team adeptly handled geopolitical issues, ensuring the cargo’s safe and timely passage, underscoring our ability to navigate diverse challenges with efficiency and expertise.

 

At NTC, we take pride in going above and beyond to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of even the most challenging cargo.
