A common job in the heavy haulage business is the road transport of heavy machines. This can be very special when the machines are actually mobile and could travel on own wheels, just like cranes. But though mobile cranes can travel on their own, it is easier and cheaper sometimes to transport them piggyback. Especially in larger countries, where far distance travels between two job sites are necessary, cranes are often transported by heavy haulage companies.
One of these countries is South Africa. A heavy haulage company named CTS Car Towing Service is specialised in the transport of bigger and smaller cranes throughout South Africa and the African continent.
Some days ago I received some heavy haulage photos of crane transport jobs which the Abnormal Loads Division of the CTS Group has executed in the past. Crane hire companies in South Africa not only use modern cranes but also do a lot of lifting jobs with older cranes from different crane manufacturers. Below you can find heavy haulage photos of crane transports of new and modern cranes and some older cranes. A click on the pictures will open a separate site with the picture in higher resolution.
