# 330 tonnes across 18 Cometto SPMT axle lines

The German company Schares is at work a lot with its Cometto SPMT self-propelled modular transporter. Now, the 18-axle fleet is on its way to Kleve.

An absorber has to be moved out of the factory halls at the Winkels company.

Once again, the **Schares** team has planned everything down to the last detail in cooperation with the customer. In the factory halls, the **absorber** is ready and waiting, weighing impressive 330 tonnes and with 52 metres in length. After a final inspection, the element with a diameter of 6.8 metres is moved out of the hall to the storage area by an [SPMT self-propelled modular transporter](/modular-systems/spmt-self-propelled-modular-transporter/).

### 12 axles leading, six trailing

The total of 18 axle lines from Schares are used in an **open compound**. Two 6-axle units in **side-by-side combination** are coupled in front of the convoy and loaded with 220 tonnes. A 6-axle unit is placed centrally under the load, where forces of 110 tonnes act.

As usual, the Schares driver manoeuvres the absorber safely over the terrain. The **SPMT** scores with its robustness and high degree of precision.

After arriving at the unloading point, the absorber is later transported by ship to Antwerp, while the self-propelled modules from Schares set off for their next assignment.
