There were two tubes delivered in this shipment. One of them was 4.8m high (diameter) with length 21.486m and weight 40.275tons, the other one was 4.8m high (diameter) with length 10.14m and weight 30.034tons. As they were over-size and over-weight, ITM used its long time experience to identify the vehicles needed and arranged the most convenient and commercial way of transport. The trucks chosen this time were 17.5m long, 3m wide. As the longest diameter was 4m, the height of the whole truck was 4.8m which was suited to pass the tunnel in China which height limit was 5m.
A total solution from end to end including logistics planning for cargo packing, fixing, loading, transportation, tracking and unloading was introduced. The total transit time was 5 days from Hengshuio to Bazhou, Beijing, Zhanjiakou, Wulanchabu, Hohhot and then arrived Wuchuan as final destination, the total distance was 916km. ITM emphasised on the safety of delivering cargoes and thus there was enough communication among ITM and its clients, fastening of cargoes was strictly supervised, over-size and over-weight permits were applied in all areas involved.
