Mammoet starts collaboration with Cometto

The global market leader Mammoet now also uses Cometto SPMT as new type and brand in their worldwide self-propelled modular trailer fleet.

After a detailed training session on their new SPMT, the Mammoet operators execute the first mission while transporting a tripod foundation in the United Kingdom. The bulky item has a height of 90 meters and weighs 2,035 tons.

The Mammoet crew transports the load on 84 axle lines Cometto MSPE with a payload capacity of 48 tons per axle line and three Power Pack Units with an output of 368 kW each. The self-propelled combination comes in an open compound with three MSPE trains. 28 axle lines in a side-by-side combination are positioned under each leg of the tripod. To master this challenging operation safely and efficiently, Mammoet relies on the specialized equipment by Cometto.
