SPMT (Self Propelled Modular Transporter)

Self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT) are multi-axle trailers designed for the transportation of large and heavy cargoes. The SPMT are designed in modular construction and can be coupled side to side and end to end, or remote units can be operated as a single transporter via radio controls. Connected to the end of the SPMT is a power pack unit, which provides hydraulic power to the various functions of the SPMT. Fagioli owns SPMT with capacity up to 60 ton for each axle lines. The steering of the SPMT offers major advantages over other forms of conventional hydraulic trailers. This offers total flexibility of steering options with each wheel bogie able to swing through 260° (+130°). The position of each wheel is controlled electronically through the remote operations console and nine steering programs are available.

Self-Propelled Modular Transporters consist of modules with 4, 5, 6, and 8 axle lines. Load capacity differs per version, with a maximum of up to 44 tons per axle line. Each module can be fitted with its own engine and control (steering) system. The modules can be connected side-by-side and/or head-to-tail, to form large ‘platforms on wheels. SPMTs have the possibility of 360-degree steering of the wheels. This allows carrousel and sideway movements. Their deck height can hydraulically be adjusted by approximately 60 cm., enabling vertical lifting or lowering of the load. Due to their variety of combinations, SPMTs can lift and move virtually every heavy load. These trailers are mainly used for on-site transportation over limited distances.
