Heavy transports a 92 tons transformer

We collected a 92 tons 70 kV power transformer located in Jemeppe sur Sambre, Belgium and lifted it into a river barge. We assisted at the discharge from the barge in Antwerp port and lifted the transformer on board the ocean vessel.

In the meantime ocean transport was arranged for shipment on board the MV Zea Antwerp to the port of Shanghai.

On arrival in Shanghai port, the unit will continue its journey to the production site for refurbishing and is expected to return to Belgium within several months. Then Heavy will also facilitate the return towards the powerplant in Belgium.

The most remarkable transport that Gosselin carried out in its collaboration with Pairi Daiza? Without a doubt, the impressive cactus, Pachycereus pringlei, from Tenerife, one of the most emblematic plants of the world’s largest tropical greenhouse, Edenya.
