“It is the future” - Mammoet relies on the Cometto Eco500

Heavy lifting and transport experts with new transport tool for intralogistics missions.

When space gets tight but performance can't drop, precision and compactness are key. That’s why Mammoet as the world’s largest engineered heavy lifting and transport company has added the Cometto Eco500 to its vehicle fleet. Modular, maneuverable, and powerful – this self-propelled unit is engineered to deliver maximum efficiency in confined environments. Designed for indoor challenges, built for industrial muscle.

Two 2-axle units, equipped with two additional Joker-axles to increase capacity when needed, have recently been added to Mammoet’s fleet. As Ludo Mous, Director Global Assets SPMT, explains, these compact newcomers fill an important gap within the existing trailer pool: “The benefit is the size – it’s a ‘mini-SPMT’: small, really low, yet strong. It can access sites where SPMTs or other vehicles can’t go.” A standout feature is the narrow width of just 2,350 millimetres – not only ideal for manoeuvring through tight spaces but also practical for transport between job sites. “It fits on a truck,” Mous adds.

Initially, Mammoet will deploy the Eco500 in the Benelux region, with a focus on the Netherlands, and its industrial services customers. With a payload capacity of 38 tons per axle, the Eco500 offers powerful performance in a compact package. Full functionality is guaranteed even at a remarkably low driving height of just 670 millimetres. Ludo Mous also highlights another key feature that adds significant value to Mammoet’s operations: “Our Eco500 is fully electric and emission-free, making it ideal for indoor applications where diesel engines are no longer preferred.” As Mous points out, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in customer conversations. “We’re getting more and more questions about electric equipment. It’s the future and a valuable addition to our sustainability toolbox that will benefit our clients.”

More about the Eco500 

The Eco500 module is available in two- or four-axle line versions, both of which can be extended with up to two additional "joker axles" – all while maintaining the same wheelbase. Cometto’s patented pendulum suspension stands out as the most compact solution on the market. An integrated safety valve ensures maximum protection and operational safety. Its robust, high-strength chassis allows for flexible load distribution. Customers can choose between electric, hybrid, or diesel-powered versions. And thanks to the smart “connect-and-drive” concept, multiple Eco500 units can be seamlessly combined for even greater versatility.
